Its 12 hardpoints allow you to combine weapons to suit any scenario. For example, for long-range air combat, the J-15T can carry up to 10 PL-12 or new PL-12A missiles with extended guiding time and satellite guidance. When approaching adversaries, it’s best to use PL-8B all-aspect missiles, likely familiar to even the most experienced Chinese pilots.The J-15T’s use isn’t limited to air combat. You’ll have access to a vast arsenal of unguided and guided weapons, including KD-88 and KD-88A guided missiles and several types of laser- and satellite-guided bombs, as well as the advanced LS-6 (IR) with an IR seeker. Furthermore, as a carrier-based aircraft, the J-15T can also be armed with anti-ship guided missiles, which is an exotic option for higher-ranking aircraft! The J-15T's forward armament is the 30 mm autocannon with a 150-round ammo count. Its countermeasure launch system is another holdover: 48 large-caliber countermeasures, which may not be sufficient for a sustained engagement, so make sure to make them count.The J-15T will be available at Rank IX of the Chinese Air Force research tree and will be the most advanced combat aircraft of this in-game nation when the Ninth Wave major update is released. You’ll be able to use this aircraft in combat very soon; we look forward to the release of the major update with you!Please note that this vehicle’s characteristics may be changed before it is added to the game.

Vehicle History

With the arrival of China’s first aircraft carriers, the J-15 carrier-based fighter occupied a unique niche as a heavy ship-based interceptor. Its main advantages were its large payload and unified flight characteristics with the J-11B family of fighters, simplifying pilot training and enabling the formation of an elite group of carrier-based pilots. Decades of operational experience revealed the need for further improvements, particularly in the context of the new Type 003 aircraft carrier with an electromagnetic catapult.

In December 2021, the J-15T was officially unveiled to the public. Its key feature is its ability to operate from both ski-jump carriers and the latest catapult-based carriers. In addition to adapting to new takeoff conditions, the J-15T underwent extensive modernization of its avionics, which also opened the door to the use of more advanced weapons. The J-15T is expected to replace earlier J-15 variants in service by the late 2020s.

Introducing the J-15T!

A new top-tier jet coming in the Ninth Wave major update is the Chinese J-15T carrier-based multirole fighter, a fast and maneuverable modern aircraft equipped with one of the best active phased array radars in the game and carrying advanced weapons into battle! Let’s check it out!

Externally, the new J-15T resembles the Russian Su-33, which served as the basis for the 15-series fighters, but in many ways it is a completely new aircraft. The heart of the J-15T’s electronics is an advanced active phased array radar with a target recognition system, providing the pilot with maximum tactical situational awareness even at long ranges. Powered by a pair of domestically produced Chinese WS-10B engines, each producing nearly 14,000 kgf of afterburning thrust, the J-15T boasts excellent performance and can reach speeds in excess of Mach 2 at high altitude!

Interesting: In China, the J-15T is nicknamed Feisha (“Flying Shark”).

The J-15T’s armament is another clear advantage of this new aircraft. Its 12 hardpoints allow you to combine weapons to suit any scenario.
