Catch my Nord.
I've forgotten to fly the harrier
evening /wtg/
>unlock yak-141>won't get it in time for the event because poorfag
Question, I recently started playing AAB and i was wondering what should I do when someone gets behind me and starts firing? No matter what I do I always end up dead/on fire (yes I know the climbing thing and unless there is someone hyper fixated on you it works to get some early kill) also are bombers viable? And does it gets better or every br is just bomber going back and forth while fighters reach the middle of the map and unless you caught someone from the back they will wep at 1km and try to ram into you?
>>563083846It wasn't actually op for the event. Burgers were just seething that it was capable of fighting back
>5 games to get last star for B-52H>2 games to get last star for Tu-95Mhmmm no wonder they made these shitty changes
Can you fags just use a normal OP image and not this freak shit
>>563084182Where do you think we are?
BruuuuuuuuuuhhhAfter 8 years i finally caught one
>>563084050Normally it's an "ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" type thing where you are best served by being aware enough of your positioning to never let anyone get on your tail in the first place. After that it comes down to recognizing the relative advantages of your planes and leveraging something that you do better to gain an advantage. Or leverage teamwork. Teamwork tends to be op.
>>563084280what did you sayi've said some pretty foul stuff and never got it
>>563084270Why isnt it just an anime pin up? Why are there plane parts haphazardly stapled to the human character? It looks retarded and is just aesthetically hideous
holy fuck i won't miss this game modenever again
>>563084617i called some amerimutts and slavmutts arguing shitskins
>>563084825lmaoi start every game by saying in global that i hate niggers and jews and the french.i probably get a pass because of the french hate desu.
>>563084814You know it's coming back in a permanent fashion sooner or later?
>start nuclear match>rush mid>get some kills>die>leave>repeatThanks for the far apart airfields, dear gaijin retards & supporters. Now it's just not worth playing on the same match when the starting furball dissipates.
>>563085009im sure you do!
>>563084182this is the gacha board
>>563085289yea just like how world war mode was gonna come back new and improved!
>>563085289i could care less
why they give us a boring grey B-52 when it could have had the based SIOP camo
>>563085732Just download a user skin, they are free
>>563085810If you were invisible, would you bother wearing clothes?
>>563085810I did but they're slow as fuck to load because the game doesn't cache them, and they're all 4x the size of normal camos because the bombers use 8k textures
>tail gun on the B52 doesn't have infinite ammo
>OSA has black launchers/radar>is still able to launchhoneymoon period is over, I wont miss this dogshit
for me, it's the palm leaves
>>563086179doesn't have infinite ammo?fucking hell it doesn't even function for me LOL>press v>cycles through everything BUT the gunner
>>563086353I tried to shot down some asshole coming at me in regular RAB and it said 'weapon out of ammo'
papa daniel
>>563086267WRONG!for you it's the rope
>>563086353>>563086480He is reloading the gun nvm. I just died before I noticed it.
>>563086535and the boyosFab 9000+Cover also gave me an instant research bonus for completing the Tier IV mods
lightning and f106 chads roll out
>>563085686Then do.
>>563086569>'e didn't buy
I appreciate both bombers having 5 trillion chaffs but there's no radar missile planes at their br. Let us pack 10 billion flares instead....
>>563087062The best missile doesn't care about either.
>>563087062Your R511s? Your AIM-7Cs? Your R-3Rs?
literally FIX THE FUCKING AA BEING OMNISCIENT GODS THIS IS SO RETARDED AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>563087062>what is R-3R
>>563087062bonjour
>>563087187git gud retard
>>563087187more like omniscient cucks rofl
>take Tu-95 for a spin in arkaden>AI gunners shoot down enemy B-52 that flies past too close>get chased and shot down by Tu-95 on the opposite teamfun. Now to never play it again
>decide to fully spade the Chinese PBY4>Join match>Spend 10 minutes side climbing>3km from enemy base>Get team killed by a friendly fighter >Ask why>"Taiwan is china"Fuck Is their problem?
>be having a close match, actually enjoying it>well too bad))) F-14nigger with 30 deaths already spawned strategic bomber))))))))if it was within my power to physically and mentally make F-14 subhumans feel the most agonizing and debilitating pain until the heat death of the universe, I would do itI wish to become God just to make F-14niggers and chinks by association suffer for all of eternity
anyone nuked a grb match in the tu95 yet?
>>563088471The "nuke" is a nothingburger, both the Pe-8's wartime FAB-5000 and the bong 12000 lb bomb are way bigger.
>>563088471nukes aren't in the normal game modes. Event onlyBiggest bombs you get are FAB-9000
holy fuck the gamemode is so shit now
>every death is to a roland or a hawk>SEAD takes most of the match to open a corridor and even then you're still getting launched at>barely half the points I was getting just running it down the center airfield before the patchthis game mode is just so ass. glad I'm almost done with it.
Who else is comfily nuking AA while listening to the retard pit seething about spawning 30 seconds further away from the frontline?
>>563090074Me, I like the changes (the gameplay ones anyway, the score shit can suck a dick).
I would pay good money to watch a gaijin Dev play this game mode on the US side for one niggering match while only using the planes the event gives you
>play russian>mig23 radar refuses to lock anything>missiles don't fuse 50% of the time>there is some death barrier that instantly gets you killed by an spaa if you go too far into enemy territory>ground attack loadout is so bad nobody is bombing>90% of the time you lose
>>563090213
they need to hotfix the event back to how it was on day 1, this is horrific
>>563090470Pidors, I mean valued customers were obtaining SL and RP at levels which went against the spirit of the game. The changes were necessary))
>F-4E radar refuses to lock to the ming front of me>F-4E radar will however lock on to the BUK missile fired on the other half of the continent I don't even have the energy to be angry anymore
>>563090470top tier bracket was more balanced when F14 iran was allowed, now US teams almost never win because R27s rape anything they look at and Miggers move so fast with nukes only tomcats can effectively deal with multiple of them.
>Nuclear thunder was balanced when Tomcats could ass rape USSR so hard they couldnt do anything about itthis is your average mutt brain btw
>>563091730hes right tho
Mutts are once again proving that the only radar modes that they understand are PD TWS and PD HMD ACM.
>>563090352play Su-25 with the ARM+Vikhr loadoutYou'll make 300 points in one or two flights if you're not too braindead to use the ARMs, then switch to vikhrs to take out other vehicles the SPAA was protecting
>>563091953>understand
>>563091953Phantom radar is shit though, it doesn't work at the altitudes this whole game mode forces you in toYou can occasionally get a lock if you manually tilt the radar to look up but that's usually somebody who is tossing a nuke and now you're flying directly to the blast area
>get back to airfield with nuke su24 after bombing, dodging four f4e's >packet loss right as i land)
>>563092069The other half of the issue is that I keep getting matched into games almost finished.But thanks, I'll try it.
every post with the word "mutt" in it in this thread always contains the most retarded "i have a kdr of 0.02 and also i live in the third world" sentiments i've ever heard
every post with the word "mutt" in it in this thread always contains the most based "i have a kdr of 20.0 and also i live in the first world" sentiments i've ever heard
It feels good loitering at 6km in the f4s on my side of the line knowing that nobody on the Russian team can touch me. I can just sit back and ponder my PDV search scope and orbital strike any suck24s that are trying to flank.
now that the gigasleep event is over give JRVG-1
>>563092612Yeah, that is another issue.The above works best on the forward flank airfields at the start of a match. I prefer the coastal side to the mountain sideBut you can do it around the centre furball as well because SPAA radars in the field will be distracted by your teammates. It just makes the process of taking other vehicles out, more difficult because you have to worry about enemy air in the middle while you're fucking around with the Vikhr guidance systemYou do get 2x R-73s and 2x R-60s as well though so it's not like you're totally defenceless
I golden eagled the mutt star
>>563093571you're jewish
why are these niggers so desperate for my SL?
>>563094336They know everyone decent with jets made a fortune during the first few days of the event
>>563094336you get a small chance for some dogshit vehicle i guess
>biggest bomb load with the three free unlocksthis will cost me my first born child
>>563094336i always buy them all down to my last silver shekel
>>563094336they're pretty neat if you have nothing else to spend the SL on. I take them just for the boosters, been ages since I got a vehicle I didn't already have.
>>563094336Victory Day sale soonThey want to tank the price of marketplace coupons so they dip even lower when people need funds to buy packs by selling event vehicles they've been hodling

>>563095973nah dude. You have a k/d more like 36:1I saw your statshark stats
>>563093320it's not for me, both the arm and the vikhr needs too much fiddling and I don't like the platform to begin with
>>563096740Is it good?
>>563096596>No T-34Unusable dogshitBack to the drawing board
>>563096790i was a bit humble the kd for this month is 13.5 with 3000 kills
>>563096949absolute niggerwagon>>563096961i really hate the turd-34 and piss-4most boring and unfun tanks ever made
>>563097263My k/d dropped way down to 12:1 because I had been playing so drunk I had to cover my left eye with a rag because I was seeing double.
I love how people pretend that NATO MBTs with high reverse speed, internal dead space, and gun depression don't completely outperform slav MBTs
hey, finally spotted one of you guys in the wildIf you like the furball you should really use the F-4J instead of the E
>>563097862right but imagine one of us was only half kidding
>>563096596>sherman without hull mg weakspot>time traveling heat slinger>nigger car that goes -70 in reverse>time traveling aphe slinger that has an autoloader as a bonus>light tank menace of low tier but better>niggerest variant of the kv1>p51 but premium >niggerest 4.3 plane in the gameFuck you
>>563098038hes lowkey right about the furball
>>563098217>>sherman without hull mg weakspotThat's neat, but the really great part is the way stronger engine. It's easily the most mobile sherman.
>>563098297Yeah, if only because the PvE part sucks balls due to absurdly strong and frustrating AA. PvE is fine as Russia I suppose, when you're orbitally nuking Hawk sites from 9 km up
>>563098217better to just play 3.7, really
Lucky with B-52, not so lucky with Tu-95Also how would you spade these things? I never played dedicated bombers in ARB, only fighters
What the FUCk am I supposed to do in a fucking t-80 on knife fight maps against leopard 2s and abrams
>>563099078you want two to three months until these things stop being so common that everyone and their mother specifically seeks out their BR range to abuse them as SL/RP pinata. Then you play ARB and fucking pray everyone leaves you alone.Or you just don't, until they get some sort of use.
>>563099078the only times ive seen these bombers not instantly die is by spawning on the runway and praying they dont run into anything on the ground then bombing either bases or ground unitsif you spawn in the regular bomber spawn there will be at least 3 vautours / mach 1+ lightning/su7/f106/f104 players flying straight towards you and holding left clicktu95 at least has more turrets so you can gunship b52s but it doesnt matter at all for any other plane unless someone retarded just decides to stall out directly behind you

Since the Object 279 is so good, why didn't the USSR just go all in on production of it and invade Europe? A gesture of goodwill I'd guess.
crazy how german, american, and russian tanks don't have holes in their mantlets for the coax but everyone else does

>>563101006It's not that bad if you play it slowly. Especially now that 10.0 is full downtier zome. The small ATGMs mulch light tanks and the fnf ones are very useful against helicopters.

How the hell are mutts losing against MiG-23/29 and Yak-141? They have the entire American tech tree and early fox 3s at their disposal.
I really dont see why they couldnt give the Tu-95 subsonic cruise missiles (non nuclear warhead of course) at the cost of raising its BRit's not like it has any targetting optics, you would just set a point in the map and sling it at those coordinates

who is blud talking to?
>>563116593>>563116694it's because the game is trying to rig the match, it does the same when you activate a booster but finding a rigged match takes longer than just shoving you into a game.
>>563119061

Hmmm...Anon's hearing voices in the walls again, I better increase his dose...
I should not have to share matchmaking with these inhuman automatons that masquerade as real players in Naval. I would rather spend 5 minutes waiting for a 99% gaijin bots match than deal with these subhumans. 6.7-7.0 drones who somehow die within the first 3 minutes of the match while forcing all the bots to spawn as battleships is bullshit.
>>563103703the most handheld jet in the game, just play like a rat since your radar is useless. HMS is great for it though because of r77s
>>563088662What's even the point of the FAB-9000 when you can bring four FAB-3000s to kill all bases in Air RB, possibly the best loadout for Ground RB too, unless you want something bigger with two FAB-5000s. What's the use case?
We did it plebbit
>>563123669I got bretty gud rng methinks
>>563123368there literally isn't, it's really just for clickbait. im still pissed at how heavily they nerfed all bomb kill radii so its even worse somehow.
how come only the kv-1 gets to sit at a BR where it's immune to any gun at a lower BR than it, even HEAT
>>563124461filtered
>>563124461git gud
>>563124461Should have won the war, cuckold
>>563123669Catch my Nord.
>>563124461ah yes because the tiger ii is not immune to basically everything lower BR than it
>>563124850w-wha
>>563125000The replay doesn't show missiles properly ignore what's flying there.
>>563124998You can shoot the konigstiger in the side with a bad gun and easily pen it, you shoot a KV-1 in the side and it bounces straight off
>doesn't do SEAD at the startall crying about OSAs does is making you a ridicule target
it's beneath my dignity to shoot NPCs, I only shoot at players
>>563125650there's a tiny russian podpivkas inside every single supposedly AI osa
How do I do that when OSAs shoot down all my HARMs
>>563125746You wait until it's shot at you, than fire an ARM and it dies before it's missile hits you thus nullifying it.
>>563125308you can shoot an abrams in the side with a BT-7i'm talking frontal engagement
>it's beneath my dign-BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>USSR gets OSA with abysmally slow missile which then paradoxically become super maneuverable and nearly impossible to dodge>USA gets Roland with a 50/50 chance of the missile being invisible and silent sudden death syndrome
not bad. I missed day one of B52 so I guess I got more work ahead of me. Compared to the past few days, Nuclear Thunder's SPAAG has been manageable. But I was playing Russian. So I'll find out tomorrow if it's better on the other side. From what I've seen though, doesn't bode well.>>563126074>>USA gets Roland with a 50/50 chance of the missile being invisible and silent sudden death syndromeI have jumped out of my seat on more than one occasion from those fucking silent Roland strikes.
>>563126074>>563126339I have watched a roland missile hit the ground and explode, and then telepathically kill me seconds later
>>563126339I got flares, FAB-1500, FAB-9000.
>>563123831>>563126731Do the biggest bomb payloads have high drop rates?
>>563126074My issue is that OSAs spawn in fucky angles sometimes where you can't fuck them without exposing yourself to at least a couple more batteries, or sling a nuke their way.My issue with Rolands is that they don't launch until you're so close if you fire a HARM it won't reach it before the Roland kills you. Don't know if it's just me but convoy Rolands won't fire until you're at 3km at which point depot Rolands fire at you and you're fucked because they intercept your HARMS or viceversa.
LowIQ specimen spotten in the KRAB event.
HighIQ specimen spotten
>Roland seems to be reloading or out of ammo since it's not shooting at me at all>lock and launch HARM>arcs and then smashes into the ground ~500m short>what the fuck>turn, lock, fire another>missile nose dives 4km away>turn, lock, fire another>missile phases out of existence when it should have impacted>turn, lock, fire the last missile>flies off into the distance>respawn a few minutes later>launch 1 HARM from 7km away at the same Roland>it dies
>>563128886Is that a thread celebrity or something
Reminder that all the best players play top tier AAB.
reminder that i'm shit at the game and i don't care
a*ton did somethingI just keep getting 9.7 matches with the F-106 nowthis is unacceptable
My takeaway is I have enjoyed the nuclear amount of salt and inability for monke to adapt to his circumstances. I need more of this.
How much does destroying an AF with a mid nuke net you in terms of score and SP?
>>563125746try to go for forward lone SPAAs or convoy onessometimes it seems like they run out of ammo for a while and just turn on their radar and eat a HARM without doing anything
>>563130772i think it's around 1.1k score for a 12.5kt strikethat includes the spaa on the field
>>56313077230kt? 1k or so points, sp you get is literally half
>>563130396And yet you cared enough to let us all know.
>spawn in stratosphere when there's no CAP>turn on infinite countermeasures>line yourself up with any contested cap/hotspot and enemy spawn>drop one FAB-5000 on contested cap/hotspot and one in spawn>J outalmost always nets you 5+ killsthe 2x 5000 FABs seems like the superior loadout compared to the 9k
>>563130874>>563130923is score from damaging bases tied to the 12.5kt max you can drop on it? is it given to you only when you deal the killing blow to it? can you get 300SP for dealing the last quarter of damage left with a small nuke?
>>563131453minor airfields have 12.5kt worth of healthi think they used to be more on the first day but might be misremembering30kt nuke will always ohk it
wow getting attacked by a cursed technique
>everyone bitches about the OSAs>rolands don't even render, make a sound or show a diamond not even while it's still burning half of the time
Waiting time is longer than my time in game with the Bomber, lol!!
>>563131679yes but i'm asking if the 300SP you get from destroying it only comes from OHKing the airfield or do you also get 300SP if you toss a 5kt nuke to finish it off
>>563132214nah it's like finishing off a baseyou only get a lil bit of points for that, the act of destroying the airfield only gives some points; most of them come from the damage dealt to it
>>563132284damn i gotta hog 2 airfields without dying just to break even then? that doesn't seem that fair and balanced tf
>>563132381yeahfeels like the smaller nuke gives a better bang for buck on account not feeling like a waste to drop it on a depot or whatever
Theoretically could the b52 be given a dozen or so Aim-9xs?
>>563132446eh some of the juicier depots in the center are worth a 30kt nukeI've gotten 30x destroyed ground units just from one. That was around 2000 score just from a single nuke
>>563132568yeah 12x AIM-9Xs at 8.7, anton confirmed it to me personally
If the B-52 had access to guided munitions, it would simply become the best American plane in the whole game, I can't wait for the premium version that carries said ordnance
>>563133827>gets NORD'dejjejejejeje
Does it not let you bomb the airfield anymore? been so long since I played with bombers and got this far
>CCRP refuses to let me drop bomb in BUK encampmentenough with this fucking garbage piece of shitback to CCIP and freecam
big ass chute tho
>GRB>4 (FOUR) Tu-95Ms up in our team>ALL of them fail to get a single killlole
>>563136161People haven't caught up to the nerf that bombs got like 2 patches ago.
>get tu-95>chinknigger that camped spawn since the start of the match rams me
fucking airfield nuking niggers always forcing matches to end early before anyone gets the big bombers they should get sent to the ukranian front without guns
fucking airfield nuking chads forcing matches to end early before niggers get the big bombers they should get send complimentary fruit baskets and cheese assortments
i bomb
I shoot.
>want to try Tu-95M>play GRB after months of not touching it>T58, XM8000T, XM246, XM1 (GM) all in the same matchyeah, see you next event
>>563135358for (you)
>>563133514I've been ignoring the depots. Some of them are nice, but everyone and their mother is gunning for them, they're surrounded by saclos from all of the convoys and adjacent depots, and members of the furball might bump into you. Instead I just vaporize the theater AA. The hawks/patriots/buks/S300 are worth more than the average ground target, and the drooling masses don't seem to fight over them like they do depots and airfields.
it's not fair that i get rigged matches, i want to drop the big nukes tooi earn them all the time and yet always some bullshit from enemies or teammates prevents me from dropping
>>563137148There's always some 200 point loser (or four) who decide that they have nothing better to do than loiter up there for 30 minutes making zero score.
>>563137357I don't know what pissed me off, that or the fact that my team of half spicnigger ESLs half chinknigger ESLs ignored my requests pleas and begs for escort around the spawn for a full 10 minutes while I deleted the airfield and SAM sites on the side I was gonna spawn in and let me get killed.Fucking game mode is rigged unless you luck out and get a mostly-English speaking, actually communicating team or play with squaddies but all my WT friends are retards who only play for the tanks.
When is gaijin stealing the rights for anime collabs with shit like Girls un panzer and idk Kancolle or AL from wargaming instead of ironic homebrew anime slop?
There should be less anime.

>>563140343Guess where the m1a1 got shot
I was wondering why does the J-15T feels so slow when in paper is like 99% equal to the Su-30SM2 minus the TVC nozzles.Statshark says the J-15T's engine is abysmally worse at every regime that matters despite having a bit more dry thrust. Why did Gaijin model it like this?
>>563139369Not with that attitude
>>563140794because it's accurate
playing mutts to get the 5th star is making me want to kill myselfi definitely won't be doing the 6th one
>decent at SEAD>enemy notices>gangstalks me in su-25 wherever I spawn
>>563140794you now understand that paper performance means literally nothing. also did you really think that rustrannies in their ever-asshurt nature would EVER allow chink flankers to be better than theirs?>Why did Gaijin model it like this?real, raw and unfiltered pettiness
>>563140794>why does the J-15T feels so slow when in paper is like 99% equal to the Su-30SM2 minus the TVC nozzles.???It's a su-33 clone with supposedly some extra composites for the airframe, it's a giant boat just like the su-33
I love the J-8B (⸝⸝๑﹏๑⸝⸝)

>go for another round of cock and ball torture for +3 modulesI think I'd unlock more modules by just playing the fucking plane regularly in that same timespan, thank you.
>>563143950KEK
all they had to do was make the spaa ai not broken and overpowered, and make it follow the rules of the game, and this event would've been great
>want to use F-111F>stock syndrome painfuck
>>563145267for me it's just retarded that it drives aroundyou think a certain path is safe, then 3 minutes later there are OSAs driving through at 80kph and noscoping you (which they can't even do IRL, they have to stop to fire)
>>563146014They're retarded that they can move and shoot, and it's retarded that they have PERFECT munition interception rates.
oops...
911th nuke, funny number.AMX-30 Super full uptier. It really is a fantastic tank. What a shame the tech tree 9.3 is dogshit slow.
in fo wha?
>>563147442why the fuck wouldnt you just get the j11b
>>563147726maybe he wants something chinese
>>563147976so why would he play an israeli jet

>>563147442Best 13.7 in the game with the best mechanical PD radar. UFO flight model. The only downside is the 23mm piss gun.
>>563148132The J10 is a derivative of the IAI Lavi with a hodge-podge of foreign technologies thrown in for good measure.
>>563148409>its realholy FUCKKEEEEEEEEEEK
>>563148495>hi J10!>not what I'm called
>/wtg/ complaining>R*ddit complaining>In game chat complainingYeah sure SPAA shooting on the move and a lot of it or whatever. This is the most fun and engaging time I've had in this game ever. My main issue with being thrown into high tier planes. Is that there doesn't seem to be any good info on how to actually use the systems. I've played enough DCS to be familiar with a lot of the weapons. But there you can at least look shit up if you're confused.
>>563148409wrong, it's a derivative of the J-9, Lavi data was acquired late in the projects life to refine the electronics on board the J-10 but the general shape of the airframe was already done by then
>>563148885ask here
>>563148885The only unanimously bad change was the air to air score nerf, every other change so far was great, especially the airfield repositioning. It's not enough of course, the SAMs still cheat, but there was definitely real improvement to the furball situation at least. The ones crying are mostly PvP-only trannies who can't get as many kills in as short a period of time as before.
>>563148984https://web.archive.org/web/20080526183625/http://www.janes.com/news/defence/jdw/jdw080519_2_n.shtml>Russian aerospace engineers have confirmed to Jane's that China's Chengdu J-10 fighter aircraft benefited from significant, direct input from Israel's Lavi programme - including access to the Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) Lavi aircraft itself.>Senior Russian engineers who spoke to Jane's recalled their many visits to Chengdu, and elsewhere in China, some of which began in the 1980s. Jane's was told how Chengdu officials of the highest level stated how they had one of the IAI Lavi prototypes in their facilities. Describing his conversations with Chengdu concerning possession of a Lavi aircraft, one Jane's source commented: "I did not consider that to be a revelation ... doesn't everyone know that already?"
>>563149161this does not contradict my statement, everyone knows that most modern chinese avionics and missile development can be traced back to israeli sales
>>563121321I am here daily since the event begun
>>563149161>russians>spacechoose one
>>563149321let's go back to your original statement then>general shape of the airframe was already donethe j10 has different air intakes, canard placement, hell even tail. my point is that the j10 looks a lot more like the Lavi than the j9.
>>563149007I will. Once I'm back from work to know what to ask
>>563134831domt you need to destroy bases for that? i only remember being able to bomb airfields in low toer after destroying all 4 bases, but never in higher tiers
>>563137357>join game>its almost over>the only useful thing you can do is protect your base>this makes u a loseri cringe
>>563134831Not anymore noEventually bomb targets will respawn, but you can't outright win the game like you used to be able to do
>>563149537>the j10 has different air intakes, canard placement, hell even tailalmost as if there's 17 years between the J-9's cancellation and the J-10's first flight, during which they gained access to a wide variety of technologies that didn't just provide the aircraft with more capabilities, but also streamlined the design process with shit like CAD and aerodynamics simulation becoming commonplace>my point is that the j10 looks a lot more like the Lavi than the j9https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergent_evolutiononly so many ways to do a deltacanard
>>563149932>gained access to a wide variety of technologieslike a prototype of the Lavi, yeah
>>563149932>only so many ways to do a deltacanardAnd yet the Ye-8, Eurofighter Typhoon, Rafale and Gripen all look very different from each other.

>>563150076They don't really from a top-down view. Same shit in a different toilet.
>>563147726Well thats the next plan im going to grind after the J-10A kek

how do chinkshills even have the stamina for this level of mental gymnastics
funny that the j-10 can fire pythons
