The J-16 in the trailer based on the 61249 interestingly has been given the newer nozzles of the WS-10B series 3 or 10D whatever people wanna call it. Instead of the older nozzles it has IRL
We thinking Gaijin could give us a upgrade over the default 10B?
NVM the 61249 has been retrofitted at some point
So, only EW version of J-16 doesn’t have a gun, right? We still have a self-defence weapon for this one?
Yes
As someone already pointed out, afterburner color seemed to be the same as the J-15T in the trailer, but there might be still hope to see higher output on the J-16.
We’ll see in a few hours.
Until you find out that first version of dev will have J-16 as a copy of J-15T but with different 3D model
Or even worse, if dev server opens at all.
Might open on Monday like it already happened recently.
More likely a re-skinned SU-30MKK with the engine changed
Im genuinely surprised Gaijin got the tops of the vertical stabilizer correct and didnt just C&P the MKK
Why?..
No difference for air mode. 140x140 radar with 10x pl12 and 2x pl8b missiles. an improvement over J-15T but not a meta changing.
dead on arrival already, radar angle weaker than su30sm2
Bruh, no damn, Sherlock. ANYTHING is worse than literal God of side-eyeing - the all-mighty Irbis
Su-57
Belka is smaller and thus worse. Checkmate
Didn’t even made a first flight
As far as we know!
But jokes aside, didnt they mentioned it gonna see it fight flight around 2026 anyway?
Something like that, but it might be pushed further because right now Russia is still a bit occupied with… stuff
That is true, but as primary for export aircraft I can see they wanting to keep it somewhat on schedule (to push on export for extra revenue)
