nah J-20 is mid because the chinese forgot to give it a gun
It’s beautiful though, enough for me :)
isn’t this should be for a “normal” loadout? Considering that IRL jets almost never fly with full loadouts.
well
we dont use normal loadouts in WT
that is why i used one with a full missile load, simply because it is the most relevant for WT
And to be fair only pylon drag profile is considered/modelled IIRC
no pylon drag isnt modeled in WT
the missiles add a bit of drag but not the pylons

This is why the F-18 can go mach 1.02 with and without pylons attached.
When it can only do that IRL without pylons.
Ah I got that mixed up then.
Haven’t seen much on supercruise figures for it
It was stated on CCTV iirc that it can supercruise at mach 1.8.

is funny considering its max operating mach number is 2.0 from what i have seen (tho with unknown engines) anyway off-topic

Curious to see how those numbers would bump with WS-15’s, since those look to be quite some powerful engines.
would have to know anything about them first, even info on the current WS-10C/C2 is scarce to come across
as thrust estimates vary widely
True that, still if it’s in the realm of 16000/17000kgf it’s pretty impressive.
For stealth aircrafts operating speed isn’t necessarily based of off engines. Stealth coating doesn’t really like being heated up, and even if it is sturdy enough to survive the heat - molecular structure will still shif due to heat expansion which will lead to deterioration of absorbing capabilities

which is why its top speed is prolly capped at mach 2, and itll also prolly not even operate close to that speed
and ingame top speed isnt that important but acceleration and energy retention is
for a second i thought i was looking at a canardless Su-34
depending on the year CCTV said that it could be for WS-15’s
