Engine is outmatched. Doesn’t carry enough fuel or CM. Radar gimbal is worse than it’s predecessor. And as far as I can tell the PL12A is even worse than the PL12 outside of how hard it pulls.
Meanwhile fighting Rafales, Euros and Aim120Ds, this jet has absolutely nothing going for it and it cannot compete in lobbies where more than half the competition easily outranges you and has the speed to get away if you ever launch - the only, ONLY thing I can consistently say this jet is great at doing is dogfighting which is becoming more and more rare with just how many fox 3s are in the air the entire match.
Can I please get guidance on if I am doing something wrong, as the J10A was so easy to top lobbies with but the J10C I can barely get a kill a match let alone stay above a 1KD.
Not enough information was provided for its implementation is my opinion, unless you want devs to assume that the extra weight is from the two-way datalink antenna and GPS unit, and just add extra weight but same propellant.
Except the PL-12A in game doesn’t reach the 120km range that is marketed with. Not only that, but there are key visual differences between PL-12 and PL-12AE that hint at, if not outright indicate the presence of a longer, refined propulsion system, hence the sudden increase in weight.
Yeah I understand all of that, but those aren’t anything concrete, we all have to go by the same bug reporting rules and Gaijin has been explicit over the years that they want something that is explicit and hard confirmations, so while the PL-12A weight was accepted, they will probably have to put it on standby and do more research to supplement the report and find out (through explicit confirmations) what caused the increased weight. But until more information is supplied by users or Gaijin finds that other information through investigation of their own, their isn’t much to do.
