Auz.
I am sure the JF17 is a brilliant plane for PAF and its combat doctrine for next 30 years.
Its great it defeats the F16 as you say and obviously now you wont need more F16s in the future has they are sanctioned threatened anyway.
Good job on the thunder.
From my point of veiw there are some obvious weaknesses that could have made this even better
1. I would have built thunder with a fully unstable FCS because it dramatically increases agility with full quadruplex FBW system. ie gripen typhoon rafale and Tejas lca.
2. Far more compsites less RCS and improved strength. just like the planes above
3. Euro/western engines as the russian engines though powerful have less flyimg life and carry more maintenance .personally the rolls royce engines ej200 OR frances snemca would be brilliant .
4. Ability to use western weapons & not just chinease weapons.ie amraam mica and derby python etc.
i honestly believe a bigger western content of more variety will lead to more sales eventually for block 2 and 3.
All of this will add $10m per plane but it will gain credibility
