They chose to model the missile as though it has conventional fins and drag profile. This means the drag coefficient is adjusted to account for the wave drag in transonic region and matches the subsonic launch charts but will underperform because the additional drag is also accounted for when launched beyond 1.3 mach anyway.
Launches at speeds more than ~1.3 mach will heavily underperform due to this but it is the dev decision since fixing it would require a major alteration to their physics model.
Well yeah IMO we go back to the fact that they had to sacrifice something or somebody for the update since it was this big and they sacrificed the minor nations… in particular China since when it comes to AIR we are literally about to have either the J10A or J11B, they could copy paste a mirage to Taiwan but yeah… whatever…
I wonder if the Mirage used or not the MICA-EM, i could accept a copy paste like that if we get another fox 3, it would be hilarious to have so many different Fox3s
Another issue I’m aware of is the Harriers and their spicy engines, Gaijin treats each nozzle as a separate engine and this causes the temperatures to stack to crazy levels making it impossible to flare things like the AIM-9L from rear aspect.
Gaijin has a bad issue with modelling special things like the fins of the R-77s or the nozzles of the Harrier.
I honestly believe the J-10A is next alongside the F/A-18 for the Americans in the next major update, if Gaijin manages to avoid the addition of the J-10A then I’ll have to sort some things out with them (through diplomatic means of course).
Well the J11BGH will be much superior to the eurofighter since it has HMD (I think) with AESA comparable to Rafael and even stated as better than F35 since it is first seen in 2020.
It can’t be cause there is a gap that they have to fill since there are so many variants of J7 they could implement and they then need a new line, and J10 will save them so much trouble, giving them ability to fill both J11/J8 line and J7/J10 line with copy and paste vehicle. It will be much more convenient for them to make the J10 since after that they could just copy and paste it into J10B/C which have very minor difference except air intake.
The J-11A is so rushed it still has the same textured pylons from the SU-27SM lmao, Gaijin really did try with China I see. You copy the base J-11 which is a copy of the SU-27, you refuse to add the J-10A then completely forget to reskin the pylons for the J-11A in the live server?
the blue kinda adds to the plane ngl maybe gaijin should add missile skins . so you can make them the same color as dummy missiles or whatever they are called don’t remember the name for them
Well look at the front glass of the cockpit, it is even more obvious it is yellow, and J11 has transparent ones, so it is just a copy of Su27SM. All J11s have transparent cockpit glass and hood, so we should make a bug report on this.
