possible
but imo it fits better than the one in the J-15T
yea, the distance ruler circles on the j15t’s make it somewhat easier to gage distance
I don’t even like/have her, it’s just that one of my friends is obsessed with her and keqing so I put it on.
I’d kill for for a skirk one but I’d bet I’d have to make that myself.
how about we arent using anime camos?

Tbh we could make everyone happy and put the MKK/MK2 at 13.7 in ARB and leave them at 13.3 in sim. And we can mostly disregard my opinions on the plane since my takes are sim-centric and run counter to the majority of player experiences
Edit: sorry didn’t see your question at the end. Datalink in sim is funny. I have a hunch that it simply doesn’t display when the missile goes pitbull and I also have a creeping suspicion that it requires a hard lock in sim. But that’s just hoodoo vibes with zero data backing that up. It’s most likely that gaijin broke it and datalink implementation relies on some mechanical feature that gets shut off between realistic and sim like missile markers or something
it dosent need hardlock and it works like in ARB
DL and how it is displayed on the radar screen highly depends on the radar that the plane uses
J-11A for example dosent show anything
Su-27SM shows the missile before it locks a target and also after it locked one
(Su-30MK2 does the same since it uses the same radar)
DL works like in RB, that means it will also fail for the same reasons as in RB
if you switch your radar modes or turn you radar on and off then your missiles will no longer get DL updates
if your radar loses the target you fired your missile at then it cant be “reaquired” as the same target and thus DL fails
and for those reasons DL can feel unreliable on the Flankers with the N001 because of how bad that radar can be at times
For a second I thought Ron had gone insane and started arguing with himself, but no, it was someone else.

In my opinion, the biggest problem with the J-15T in its current state is that it carries far too few countermeasures. This prevents it from handling most in-game situations. As a result, even if the J-15T were downtiered to 14.3 or even 14.0, the gameplay experience would still be poor. Because of the lack of countermeasures, it is essentially a “crippled” aircraft.
In reality, the PLAAF does equip its fighters with various electronic countermeasure (ECM) systems. However, since the live game currently has no ECM mechanics, and Chinese ECM equipment is highly classified, there is little reason to expect the J-15T to compensate for its lack of physical countermeasures through electronic means.
I believe the only solution is to add the 29DCT countermeasure pod that has been mentioned in the Chinese subforum as a supplement for the lack of countermeasures. As a trade-off, the two PL-8Bs on the wingtip pylons could be sacrificed, granting 180 countermeasures in return. This approach is completely reasonable and has already been implemented on other aircraft in the game.
The patent documents for this 29DCT pod are very detailed, which proves that the pod definitively exists and can definitively be carried by the J-15T. The J-15T is a fighter that only entered public view in 2025. Obviously, you won’t find photos of the J-15T carrying the 29DCT pod. However, the patent documents for this pod, presented in great detail on the Chinese subforum, should serve as a valid basis for its implementation in the game. Hopefully, the J-15T can be made more perfect.

has this been seen used on any other jet?

Unfortunately, no such photo has been found so far. There are two main reasons for this:
- According to publicly available information, the Chinese military placed an order for and received only 59 units of the 29DCT pod — not a large quantity.
- Public sources also indicate that this pod was produced in 2021, which is relatively recent. Perhaps it simply hasn’t been caught on camera yet.
Since this pod has been assigned a Chinese military standard designation (GJB), it qualifies as standard PLAAF active-service equipment. In theory, it should be observable.
Given that the 29DCT pod was designed and manufactured by AVIC Hongdu — a company primarily known for its trainer aircraft (including the K-8 and L-15, among others) — it is plausible that this pod was originally intended for trainers with weaker ECM capabilities.
I have also posted the thread from the Chinese subforum regarding this pod. Feel free to read it if you are interested. Thank you.29DCT

i hope they add this even if it isnt the most real thing to put on the J-15T, i would probably bother to crew it then
they said on the dev stream they were looking at alternatives to its low CM situation so i hope they see this

I think a better solution would be ECM pods that would give the J-15T normal or BOL chaff as a temporary solution. I think adding more flares is kinda unfair, but adding BOL chaff (which is the smallest and least effective type of chaff) wouldn’t be too overpowered.
And the ECM pods could again replace the PL8B pylons on the wingtips.

does these pods have BOL chaff in them irl tho?
China’s ECM equipment is highly classified. Furthermore, the J-15T already carries its own built-in ECM systems – which is precisely why the Chinese military has fully mastered the naval Flanker series and even altered the arrangement of its countermeasure dispensers without deliberately increasing the flare count. We cannot expect Gaijin to accurately simulate the performance of these systems with little to no publicly available data. Moreover, the ECM mechanic has not yet been formally implemented in the live game. There are simply too many unknowns.
As for chaff-only pods, to my knowledge, China is not particularly keen on developing BOL-style rails. The 29DCT pod is the closest Chinese-made military product I have seen to a BOL-style dispenser. (Of course, the documentation for the 29DCT indicates it can internally carry both flares and chaff. If this pod were added to the game and equipped only with chaff, I think that would also be acceptable.)
I’m not sure.
