Yeah this was my experience too. I barely moved my mouse or I tapped one of WASD for a second and you go from mach 1.2 at alt to 0.8-0.9. And the problem was that it also takes ages to get back up to speed for a non spaded J-15.
When I flew my non-spaded J-10C, AESA EFT and F-16CM the getting back up to speed part didn’t feel nearly as slow.
But yeah wait until you get the engine mod, it feels like a whole different flight model.
Yeah, I know, it’s that at 14.7 it just doesn’t cut it. I like the Pl-12, and I feel the PL-12A is more consistent than the base model, I used it in the J-10C to research the J-15T and it felt good when you were in a 13.3 downtier, in an uptier not so much…
Yeah, the fuel burn is really bad, like x4 probably. But considering matches at top tier hardly last longer than 5 minutes it’s difficult to run out of fuel. Though I did ran out of fuel once.
If fuel management is an issue, then could be worth it either way. better to have 6 PL-12As that you can fire consistantly from a high speed because you are always on reheat, than 8x PL-12As fired from lower speeds because you have to fuel manage
Nah, as I said it’s not really a big issue, you have ~7 minutes of fuel on full AB, which is enough for 90% for the matches at top tier, from my experience is better to have the 2 more Pl-12A.
I haven’t played it much since I got the engine mod with GE, but the first game with engine mod I got 3 kills and the second game I got 4 kills.
So yeah flight performance wise I’m now very positive about it. Although the whole package still makes it a challenging plane to play (48 countermeasures means that you have very little room for error).
It’s pretty decent. It just feels like your standard 70° horizontal scan limit AESA. Not a god tier radar like on the AESAphoon and Su-30SM2, but also not as limited as the F-16CM radar (60° horizontal limit).
We indeed do. It is well sourced in the public domain:
