It has been long said that Chinese helicopters have unmodeled RWR, which seems weird as they are mostly manufactured in the past two decades and are subject to the newest technology just like Q5L and J7E which are upgrades to 1970s planes. There currently is no bug report on this issue and I think maybe we should hand in a suggestion as I don’t think any primary sources we will be able to provide, mostly tertiary.

There’s an acknowledged bug report for Chinese helicopter RWR, but it’s been about 5 months since it was acknowledged. I’m not sure what’s taking them so long for them to modify the helicopter RWR so it isn’t the old pre-rework RWR model, but I personally suspect it’s because they cannot find any details on the RWR itself. (We currently know that it has IFF and distance display, but not much else)
I wouldn’t even be mad if they copypasted the RWR from the J7E or A5C or something because the RWR currently is absolutely awful on Chinese helicopters. Even giving it IFF in its current state would already be an upgrade… fingers crossed they’ll do something about it in the next major update.
