okay, no seriously. ive shot them down. in the JSF. ive shot them down in the F/A-18. ive shot them down using the AA on the Essex. ive shot them down with another J-10. ive shot them down with the F-15E.

*what matters is not the plane, but the person piloting the plane*

the J-10 is a strong jet versus your average pilot. it is not invicible. all other things being equal, two pilots of the same skill can dogfight with a J-10 and an F-18. (JSF is a little crappy, so i wont include that). The problem is, most people are uneducated on how to properly excecute low altitude dogfighting, so they think, hey, i just turn in circles until the guy is in my sights, right?

Try a few break-s's, a few split-s's, maybe even a hi yo-yo or two. do not try a scissors, because the J-10 has a faster turn rate. try dogfighting using intellegence, tactic, and wit, instead of just raw turning, and maybe youll understand that the J-10 is not invincible.

the only thing that DICE (because EA doesnt design the game, they publish it) needs to fix on the J-10 is the missle hitbox. J-10's can seriously dodge some missles. but then, i dont see that you are complaining about that, you just think the J-10 is teh uber.

Here are some simple truths:

1) J-10 with a good pilot vs. JSF with a bad pilot = J-10 wins.
2) J-10 with a bad pilot vs. JSF with a good pilot = JSF wins.
3) J-10 with a bad pilot vs. JSF with a bad pilot = J-10 wins.
4) J-10 with a good pilot vs. JSF with a good pilot = J-10 wins.

See the problem? Yes, you can argue that they are different units, different strengths... J-10 is better at air-to-air and JSF is better at raping the ground (due to having so many more MG rounds), etc. Purely comparing dog-fight capability, the J-10 is superior.

Is that worthy of a change? Maybe, maybe not. But it is true that the J-10 is a better jet, more maneuverable, AA missiles hit more often, easier to evade AA missiles with and is faster.

Ahh, Just bring back the F4 Phantom from BFV, It'll rape the J-10

I'll admit, I've not really flown the J-10 much, but been base raped by them many times on the deck of the Essex. I'll agree with changing your tacticts to overcome a more powerfull aircraft. Mainly, use guns + bomb sights, barrel rolls, steep verticle climbs with reverse rolls and dives and short and long s-turns. I've even evaded one by flying under the bridges on wake.  I've gone up against the J-10 with the Essex AA, and have shot them down.

I'd be afraid if EA was to make any more changes for balancing, who knows what else will get messed up. If you want it balanced, press not to equal out the speed/maneuverability....but add a more comparable jet to the U.S's roster, or change the jets going against to something more comparable.

I love the J-10. If i get the J-10, no other plane is going to shoot me down. Unless... i dont pay attencion. For example, if im taking out a tow or what ever and out of flares... and it gets a lock on me and i take it out... a plane behind me also got a lock on me at the same time as the tow, witch i did not see. Didnt check my rear. If the J-10 has a normal speed, no flares and going straight... you can very easy take it out with some missiles. Yes  it can turn harder and such, but in those situations, its too late. If you got a lock on a J-10, and it just starts to turn, it is dead. And, not 100% sure about this though but, if you lock on a plane and it drops flares AND uses the afterburn at the same time.. the missiles will go straight for the plane instead of the flares. Correct me if i am wrong here. I never use the afterburn when i drop flares... maybe if i am already turning, but not when im going straight forward while droping flares.
Its overpowered? Hmm... a J-10 is a J-10. A bomber is a bomber. It has 5 bombs!! A J-10 has 2... ITS UNFAIR!!! Just kidding of course. The F-35 has 500 or was it 600 mg rounds? The J-10 has 300. Damn, now i actually dont remember. But the point is... thats how the things are!!! Some planes are better than others. Some have more of this, some have more of that. Bushviper has great infantry stats... and aviator stats too of course. But he would kick the shit out of me on the ground. So make a patch where it will be easier for me to kill him on foot!!!!! Ridiculose to say such a thing, right? Yeah, same with planes. I suck on foot... im decent in the air. Maybe better than decent . The whole point is that people are asking Dice to fix the game for them because they struggle with certan things! I always get killed by people playing support.... spec ops... and so on. Its because i suck on foot like i said. Making a patch so it will be easier for me to kill others is wrong. My english sucks also... ridiculose that they didnt make the exam in school easier so i got an A!!!!!!

Btw..... who has the best aviator stats that you have seen?? Best ive seen so far is Bushviper. |ccc||planewhore had.. what, 66 or something, but that was before patch 1.2. Easier to take down a plane now.

The J10 has an insane turning radius. Almost everytime I get locked on by a JSF I just bank left and keep turning until I pop in behind. Easy kills.
Yeah, i'd agree with the turning!

But to the guy who recons the missiles hit everything... I've found that on Wake, I get target lock on the f35 and fire 3 missiles and sometims they all miss, even if the pilot doesnt use flares

I'm no hardcore jet pilot but the few times that i have flown them i can tell ya, i get most kills with the J-10. It really is the only jet i'll ever get in (besides the bombers).

Reasons why i like it, my missiles tend to hit other planes when usually they skim off. That and it's really manuverable.

damn straight.if they wanna whine about J-10's they can take it back to ace combat.hell,i dont even pilot much and i can down a j-10 with moderate effort.if they want to learn how to really fly,they should pick up a cheap simulator (f-22 raptor by ubisoft,and microsoft ww2 european front combat simulator are great games for learning how to dogfight properly.).its not that damn hard,most people that complain their ass off are the same noobs that kill each other over a plane,then crash 15 seconds after take off becuase they cant tell the sky from the ground.sure it has a speed advantage,but has lessened stabability,ive seen it outmanover it's pilots ability to control itself,and thus i see alot of kamikazing,especially when the pilot gets spooked by a missile.the j-10 is a paper plane and cant take a hit worth anything in my opinion.use your wits when your in an air battle and youll end up on top.spinning in a constant circle will get you killed by any pilot that knows what he is doing.

I was thinking of a possible reason for the J-10 being so much better. Do you suppose the fact that the USMC gets an essex makes up the J-10 being so much better? I mean does that balance it out? Although in the case of Daging Oilfields that is thrown out the window. But with all the other maps it applies.

Shh! Be quiet! If EA and DICE get the idea to tone down the J10 it'll be made into a flying paper plane! I've just noticed a trend you know, we say "improve the AA/Support LMG" and suddenly they are overpowered, we say "the G36C is an awesome gun," and it is made into a spitwad shooter.

It's just a trend I've noticed. I think we all just need to accept the way things are.
