Shenyang J-11, J-16, J-15, History, Performance & Discussion

It doesn’t exist. They all use fixed plate AESAs its not surprising anyone. I’m not sure what the guy is on about

Just because one has a radar with mechanical steering doesn’t automatically mean you can simply make one up just because it’s supposed to be ‘no less capable than…’ - the F-15EX also has a fixed plate Radar btw.

You need to be able to prove what X aircraft or whatever actually has, rather than simply making a claim and presenting it as fact, generally speaking.

We must maintain the Sukhoi agenda and Chinese flankers cannot be better than Russian ones because it would be heresy

Not sure what being better in 15G third person game has anything to do with IRL

where are the J-15T’s dual pl12 racks irl? a magazine?

Since you don’t care about balance anymore, I want PL15 right now.

I’m not sure what the point is of adding China’s most advanced Flanker if it doesn’t get at the very least the irl performing PL-12A, let alone PL-15 (which yea would be too powerful for now but you get it)

Also please stop with these “X nation Flanker is better than Y nation Flanker”

IIRC it’s already known to go past 145 km? Closer to 200 km I believe

drag coefficient 1.5 and its over

It’s after the Feibao A2, wicked unfortunate, time to pause the F16V and get the A2 done I guess haha!

Luckily j-16 won’t be the worst 14.7 hehe, that’ll be reserved for my favourite naval flanker

Meh, it should still be good I think. Of course, a slightly larger in diameter missile (PL-12/A, compared to AMRAAM) shouldn’t have such astronomically high drag, but I digress.

Either way, if it’s bad or whatever we can eventually kick the can down the road until PL-17, PL-21, etc.

Should be fun to see this consistency applied to the R-37 as well… given that it’s only 200 km max range.


it looks the j16 only just like the j15t have more cm…oh i I forgot,j16 only got 10+2, it loss 2 ir pl8

su30 still on top
