J-8F problems collection(MAWS, PL-11, IRCCM missiles)

True, and the seeker is 90% copy & pasted from the AIM-9L, bar the gimbal limits

To be fair most chinese vehicles are Ctrl C+Ctrl V

PL17、PL12、毫无疑问飞豹A可以打雷达弹,但是发PL12说不定会提空战权重。

我tm不管,升权重就升吧,主要是我们这样还能维持真实性,大概和新鹞子差不多,但是陆战权重就没法保证了

too many to be RWR

some are definitely RWR antennae
but which are the MAWS
do we take it to mean the J-8F has rear and front aspect MAWS?
and possibly below as well?

@David_Bowie
is there an internal report about the lack of MAWS on the J8F?

yes
J-8F lacks MAWS // Gaijin.net // Issues

the small transparent one below the RWR antennae

I’m pretty sure the maws is rear aspect only

going by the supposed sensors… imo its all aspect

Those are likely rwr antennas

too many for that lol

it is.
I mean that’s what thee original issue suggests.
I re-checked some of photos and didn’t find anything looks like a MAWS, could be a misunderstanding.
I remember some retired J-8F are exhibited to public, maybe someone can take some close photos

J-8F

JF-17 (block 3 MAWS moved to top of tail)

image

front aspect sensors also added

so imo the J-8F had all its sensors on the top of the tail

That here is no maws
