What’s up with all the reports saying the J-16 should have a multi-face array?
Is this really the J-16 radar?
The J16 showned on dev server and on the update live had for the engines the ws-10B or the ws-10D
And not that is the jf17 block III radar

in the dev it’s WS-10B at the moment.
I’m pretty sure @WreckingAres283 made a report to make into WS-10B Series 3.
ty
Is MKK and MK2 less draggy than SM/SM2?
I mean, I would assume so?
I would as well, but i meant in-game at the moment
Not sure, would probably have to check datamines.
No! It’s not!

I figured as much, just wanted to make sure.
There are three types of klj7a, three-array radar, mechanical+electrical scan radar and fixed-array radar. For the j16, only the last two types are possible
Like a Gimbaled ESA?
Like the Gripen-E and Su-35S Radar?
I don’t know which WS-10 variant that’s supposed to be. The nozzle schematic he posted isn’t the WS-10B3 — the blogger was talking about the WS-10B2. He said it has 12% more thrust than the prototype. If the in-game WS-10A is rated at 12,500 kN, then the WS-10B should be 12,500 × 1.12 = 14,000 kN, not the 13,790 kN shown in the game’s stat card right now.
Is this installed or static thrust?
The thrust mentioned in the paper seems to refer to test-bed static thrust.
That would probably explain the difference.
Some thrust is lost when the engine is mounted into the plane.
But the WS-10A’s test-bed static thrust is 13,200 kN ，in the paper, the WS-10B with a 12% thrust increase should be 13,200 × 1.12 = 14,784 kN. Is it really normal to lose that much thrust during installation? 14,784 − 13,790 = 994 kN, that’s almost 1,000 kN lost. I don’t know much about engines, so this is where I get confused.
It varies from plane to plane, I don’t really know how gaijin comes up with their numbers.
For reference, Su-27 is ~7%, Raf is ~2%, Euro is ~5%.
At the same time F-15 is ~20%, MiG-29 is ~18%.
If the loss is 7%, then the data might be correct?
