That's a nice looking aircraft. I guess I'll be adding a Chinese plane to the stable when they release it. I wouldn't mind flying that.

You're always going to find light fighters enjoyable, tbh.

Reformers hate him! This one weird trick found by a bush pilot will make gunfighter obsessed old farts angry at your multi-role carrier deck line up!

Yeah, that's true. They're all a lot of fun. I'd even extend that beyond light fighters to say that I find all aircraft enjoyable. But light fighters are sort of the sports cars among them.

I don't know if I've chimed in here yet, but I felt a desire to say I'm stoked, Deka Ironworks.

 

This sim needs some RedFor clickpits worthy of combatting the upcoming NATO hornets, vipers, and tomcats, and while my knowledge of the JF-17 is VERY limited, what I've seen from your updates as well as a little bit of reading this thing is almost definitely going to be added to my virtual arsenal.

 

I wish you all the success in the world, and I can't wait to see what you bring to the sim in the future.

Definitely not just for the Redfor Aspect but also for the sophistication of this aircraft. I don't think a lot of people realize this, but this could be the most advanced up-to-date aircraft in DCS on release. That is exciting to me.

Being a block 1 variant it'll be a little behind the F-16C and F/A -18C in some areas, such as no data link or refuelling capabilities. That's not to say its a bad aircraft, because well it isn't. I'm interested to see how some of the weapons are going to be modelled as it does bring a lot of weaponry that simply hasn't existed in DCS before to the table.

The refueling probe is probably the thing I would want the most, but at the same time it's still probably one of the most modern aircraft we're going to get.

 

I've been told that it will also be our first glass cockpit aircraft if it can beat the Tucano.

Im a bit out of date but what weaponery that it does not exist yet are you talking about? Viggen has antiship missiles, AA its all there excep for advance active radar seaking other than the 120, andregarding A/G unless it has a TV guided bomb its all ther eallready.. But i migh be mistaken.. just curiouse.

PL12 and PL5 air to air missiles I don't believe are currently in the game. Pretty confident all the air to surface missiles it can carry are not currently modelled and I don't think the LS-6 bombs are currently modelled with DCS either.

Be interesting to find out if we're getting the RD-93 or the WS-13 powerplant.

RD93 - slower

WS13 - Faster now in full production to replace the RD93's

 

currently, we use RD-93
