It was allegedly confirmed China won’t be getting anything for aviation. We’ll probably be getting both the J-10B and J-11B sometime next year.
They were only rumoured to currently be being worked on, not confirmed to be coming this update.
U won’t understand,I’ve waited them from June to December.By the way,the J10B used PESA instead of AESA.

The J-10B uses the PESA radar instead of the AESA. What’s more, the J-10B can carry a variety of indigenous Chinese A2G weapons, it is a good multi-role fighter, and it is of great significance to China’s CAS.

No Chinese gamer will accept this reality. It’s heartbreaking.

It shouldn’t be like that. In the March version of next year, when other countries get better things, China will only have these guys who are already lagging behind. In fact, the J-11B should have appeared in the previous version, and it was at best comparable to the F-15C. What’s more, the J-11B model does not need to be modified, only some other data needs to be changed.

That’s only a seven months, and not life changing, I don’t really see the issue. China’s air isn’t really competitive in war thunder, and that’s due to the makeup of the PLAAF being very mediocre at everything, China at least gets the F-16MLU.
Some people have been waiting for the PzH-2k since the early days of this game.

Bro what. The j7e is the best dogfighter before the gripen. The j10 is one of the best top tiers right now. It gets 5 ARH carriers, using 3 different ARH missiles.

Someone heard through the “grapevine” that a stock was going to rise sharply, and then the stock fell, so he began to insult the regulators and the exchange.
Why? Gaijin never officially said they will add J-10B or J-11B this patch. Don’t forget A-6E SWIP which appear in at least 5 leaks…

What does F-16A MLU and PzH-2000 have to do with anything?
What are you even saying in general? Please reiterate.
First you say that the J-10B & J-11B won’t fit the current meta because they have AESA radars. (Elaborate?)
Then you say that J-10B’s AESA radar was underwhelming compared to its contemporaries (Does that not contradict your first point?)
Then you say that China’s air tree being uncompetitive is due to the makeup of the PLAAF being “mediocre at everything” (Again, elaborate?)
You pose several fragmented arguments that are hardly connected with each other, all of which hinge on either your own preconceived notion regarding the combat effectiveness of the PLAAF, or the fact that “other people have been waiting longer for other vehicles”, or that “China received the F-16A MLU two years ago” (The F-16A MLU, which still has the wrong number of countermeasures…)

Let’s just wait. I don’t want to fly a plane which is added into our game just in the next release but has a lot of problems. For example, J11B can fire PL12B/C and PL8B A-Amissiles and KH series AGMs with 1493 radar. I want to see them on plane when it joins,instead of seeing J11B with only 1491 radar, PL12A and PL8. So let’s be patient and watch the news.

rather blatant ignorance but i’ll leave you to it :)
Well, Gaijin is just too busy selling new copy paste packs.
Maybe not the J-10B, but the J-11B seemed like a good addition for this update.

MLU is a good fighter

PzH-2k is an addition even non-german mains have been waiting for.
They have very lacking or underpowered AESA radars for their competitive airframes like the Gripen E, Typhoon, and Rafaél.
Their planes are all “higher quality” than their Russian counterparts; yet if you ask the general aviation enthusiasts, they will just write off the PLAAF as a government funded airshow. While I don’t believe the equipment is the greatest for their intended mission, they aren’t bad planes all around.
I simply directed the argument in the direction the other commenters pointed; as I was responding to a few people over slightly different subjects at once.
Thats why they also produced later variants of J10 and J11 models but one thing for sure is J10B does have both PESA and AESA options that will boost its performance, not to mention J10B is lighter than J10A while also having better engine,less drag due to revised design,better air intake,IRST and more advanced missiles.
J10B with AESA should’ve been added with Typhoon and Rafale.
The must be decent enough, Pakistan has been using Chinese aircraft for a while and Egypt who have military ties to both US and Russia and would surely have the option of better aircraft if they wanted, something made them decide on the J-10C and I doubt it was just cost with all the tension in MENA at the moment.
Besides the J-10A is one of the better aircraft on the current patch IMO
Lol, yeah, okay buddy.
Yes, because a high precision ES-05A; literally one of the best, if not, AESA radar systems, on a .9 TWR monster of a jet is comparable to the J-10B/C’s AESA. (Not even starting to mention the fighter to fighter linking systems these jets have had since the 1980’s, something the PLAAF hasn’t even began investing in)
And that’s just the Gripen, the Rafaél F.3C is a whole different beast.
The J-10A project started in 1988, the intro year of the JAS-39A, a “Four and a Half” gen fighter, compared to chinas first domestic 4th gen development starting in the same year.
And let’s not start on the J-11, a jet that was negotiated with the Russian Sukhoi design bureau to give them 200 Su-27’s in 1996, arrive all in 2000. When China already developed a better fighter around 10 years earlier, it made no sense in my eyes, but there must’ve been a reason to it. (Taking an odd guess it’s because the J-10 project took too long, as the first one was finished in 1997, and flown a year later)
Didn’t really want to shit on Chinese fighters, but, you know, had to set the record straight.
