J-XY/J-35 carrier-borne fighter thread

JL-9G supposedly mimics the landing characteristics of the J-15.
Do we know if the new JL-10J is suppose to mimic the landing characteristics of the J-35?

uhmm, I will question if J-35 actually has the main weapons bay in the same dimensions to J-20's
I know a lot of noises from China says that J-35 has the same weapon bay as to J-20, but back in the day, someone did post this

from left to right are: J-20/F-22/F-35/FC-31(V2?V3?),
Yes, this is a rough estimation based on the weapons bay cover, but it should give an idea that J-35 may have a slightly small weapon bay in compare with J-20.

as long as it large enough for 4x PL-15 , a bit smaller isn't a problem

i don't think china will be "funny" enough to the point design their newest stealth jet for old smaller and shorter PL-12 or just for 2x PL-15 ammo load because smaller weapon bay

while US currently trying to ram 4x AIM-260 inside F-35

some people still think real aircombat are similar as DCS AI control aircombat wargame : where modern fighter keep heading toward each other after launching their active radar one to the point both side can lock and fire IR missile toward each other

bonus : AI control aircraft in DCS alway choose acrobatic dodge maneuver first when they detect enemy BVR missile head toward them (hope enemy missile miss so they can fire missile back right away ) instead of ....360 degree after burner back and GTFO in opposite direction , then wait for another+better chance

personally i think stealth fighter jet only need side weapon bay for short range IR missile if real life pilot do extractly the same as DCS AI pilot

The right defense tactic would depend on the kind of missile fired at you. Many missiles use proportional navigation homing and evasive maneuvers like barrel rolls can bleed those missiles out of energy, while still being able to fire off your own missiles from a shorter range at the enemy. In the endgame a sharp turn will be enough to defeat a missile that has lost most of its energy.

In CMO, aircraft AI behaves more inline with the tactic that you proposed. However, this will not work if you are inside a missile’s NEZ.
