J-10B TVC (tech demonstrator) is the one with thrust vectoring WS-10B, the J-10A still uses a russian engine so it falls behind in TWR

the russian engine is the same as the flanker so shouldnt it have it stock

Think the f16 adf might give em a run for there money if it’s just pure dogfighting?

Not really, it lacks the pure low speed performance to keep up with the deltas and delta-canards

25

Iirc F-16s have better ultra low speed handling to the delta-canards. So if they energy trap their opponent they could win. But just don’t go low and slow and the delta-canards would be fine.

Eurofighter by a good margin, the people telling you Rafale also believe that the Eurofighter suffers, so do with that what you will.

The only time you get a 1 v 1 gun fight is if after you have rearmed you expend all your missiles and merge.

Typhoon being marginally better in this area makes literally no difference.
Slightly better at a gun fight or a MICA EM and Magic 2…hmmm

Long moment arm from the canards

How many games do you have on 14.0-13.7 to say this?

Alternatively you take part in a lot of 1v1 gunfights when you join 1v1 guns only tournaments.
