any detailed change?

These AoA those missiles do are straight up silly now. I’d expect them to be reverted
Those missiles are not thrust vector, they are not stable in this configurations
hilarity ensues
What is that, a PL-12 or a MICA? Holy shit
Michael-12 to save J-16’s day
Makes sense, must be some secret model they have in production

I guess they changed the aoa limit to too big. as I know, gaijin isn’t knowing much about the things they code in files by themself.

Yo… This is not it man
The PL12s just got massively buffed if you would stop ranting for a second, all you’ve been doing is ranting over and over and over
The J-15T is easily the most ridiculous aircraft I’ve played in my 12 years of War Thunder. That’s not even up for debate.
The only reason I’m forcing myself to play it is because I bought a talisman for it, but honestly, I’ve had enough of this thing. It’s absolutely exhausting to play.
No bombs worth mentioning, no decent missiles, no speed, and the countermeasures are basically nonexistent. I genuinely don’t understand the logic behind putting this aircraft at 14.7.
This is a Su-27 variant, and there isn’t a single Su-27 in the game above 13.7. So what exactly is supposed to justify the J-15T being at 14.7?

I have doubts about this making it to live
Bro, the more I play this thing, the more I lose my mind. I’m seriously starting to tilt.
It seems like most missiles got similar aoa buffs and drag reductions, so it probably will
PL-12 is fox 3 only
You’re right. my bad.
I’ve unlocked all the modifications now. I’m done talking about it — it was just a ridiculous aircraft.
When did thr pl12’s got buffed?
I’m not sure if this was changed with today’s update, but the radar position of the J-16 got changed. Gaijin believes that the J-16 radar sits entirely inside the radome apparently.
Before:
Now:
At least the antenna diameter now more closely matches the diameter at that point of the radome, but it makes not a lot of sense. Either the radome length would be decreased (See J-16D, J-15T, J-15DH, J-15DT) to match, or the radar would actually have to sit further back (if fixed plate) and be likely larger, or another theory is that it allows for extra length to gimbal, akin to Bars/Irbis/Virupaksha (the latter idk if it will be fitted with gimbal, but it would maybe be the closest analogue), but even then it wouldn’t sit this far ahead still.
Anyways, this change is kinda weird. The radar model itself is unique and not copy paste, I think, so maybe Gaijin knows more or are just making weird assumptions (maybe more likely here).
