the day he adds the J-15 I hope he will give it WS-10H and not just AL-31F
They can’t do that because the ones that have those engines are the modern ones with aesa and pl15
The Al-31 is also a normal engine. The main thing is that it should be given already, a flanker with a normal radar and missiles, something at the level of myths or legends. Yes, and here on the dev server, the su33 has a good flight model
The flight model is disgusting as well as the exterior
Afaik it isnt “good flight model”, only that thanks to canards it can pull some good AOA
Other than clipping (stuff goes into other stuff), what is wrong with visual model?
mostly same, early version have no composites, late version have some in tails and horizontal tail, not much. No idea for J-15T, must be more but don’t know how much.
Yes, this is what is what I was talking about. I was sure that later j15 has composites, but was not sure if the first few had composites, thanks for clearing it up
Quick reminder since I’ve seen multiple people do so here… Once something gets deleted there is no need to ask for “what was said…” or “why was this deleted…” simply bring those conversation to PMs with moderators instead of creating even more off-topic here. Thank you :)
They made the flap and flaperon one piece, the front support sticks out strongly
J-15 is actually based on T-10K-7, not T-10K-3.
Otherwise while there are images of some composite used on J-11B, none exists of J-15.
So the only weight saving on J-15 will be from rewiring/new electronics.
J-15T shares more components with J-11D, which features composite vertical stabilizers and also inside the inlets. But this is not likely to be added until 3-4 major updates later.
Hopefully j-11D comes eventually. Probably the best air to air flanker in the world
It would be good.
Although I’m not entirely sure about Gajin’s policy on prototypes.
It seems to be arbitrary most of the time.
I mean they did give Yak-141 everything it was planned to have.
This is true.
On an unrelated note, I hope that they add the J-10B variant with TVC as well.
Only Chinese planes with TVC will either be that, or Su-35S which China bought.
Has all the Su35S been delivered yet? I don’t really know how much the PLAAF expected out of Su35 cause obviously in terms of avionics there is likely nothing they will get, the only thing I can think of is in fact TVC, which is sort of abandoned by PLAAF.
All Su-35S have been delivered and are being used to patrol SCS.

Funnily enough, this livery is actually in the game, available for purchase to equip J-11 and J-10A.
There are only 24 Su-35S in service with China, part of the 6th Aviation Brigade based in Guangdong.
Su-35S has flown against Chinese fighters in DACT, and have brought valuable experience to other PLAAF pilots.
In general, think of Su-35S as a friendship deal to show ties between Russia and China, but of course China was interested in AL-41F1S engine as well. I think one of the reason is for PLAAF to consider how viable thrust-vectoring technology is for the modern battlefield, and its strengths + weaknesses.
China thought that Irbis-E was good performing radar, probably the pinnacle of PESA technology.
In general though, China already has roughly comparable domestic Flankers and don’t see the need to procure mass amounts of Su-35S, or else they would be reliant on Russia.
Regarding armaments, it’s still R-77-1s right? or did they get any more advanced stuff.
