Outstanding

Can the radar track targets (with their search zone) in TWS mode?

Yeah

Great! Now I can rest in peace…

I mean, seems accurate enough to me.
War Thunder search range seems to be for 3 square meter RCS target, 120km is about right for that.
Amount of DL channels is pretty good though, 8 when I expected 6.

TWS+ nice

Maybe Gaijin wants to give us double pylons so that there are 8 rockets?

Issue on the gaijin website rn, the radar seems to be placed too far forward in the x-ray.

Finally

I doubt it, most likely they have given 8 channels to be able to recycle this radar and put it on the J-15 the laval version that has 1 extra pylon on each wing.

I mean, J-15 is said to use the same radar as J-11B with minor modifications for anti-ship role, so not surprising.

I had faith that they’d fix it

No I don’t think so, for example the J8F has 6DL but only 2 fox 3

J-8F need Pl-8B

yes I also think it only has 6 dl targets but gaijin gives 8. But it’s ridiculous that J11B only has 6 PL12

Unfortunately I don’t think there is a source that Gaijin will accept on this matter, we do know J-15 can carry 8x though.

Teeeechnically there is a dual pylon in existence for J-10CE, if 27/30SM can have racks from another plane, why can’t J-11B?))

Spoiler

I’m not serious if you couldn’t tell.

I mean, honestly, maaaybe… if J-11B gonna show itself on live same level of scrap as 27SM use to be update ago, but by the looks it wouldn’t, for 11B fixes, it seems, all issues of 11A (poor radar, outdated RWR, poor BVR missiles) that we had. Still we should have 11B in the same update as all other Fox-3 slingers and in “Hornet’s Sting” see J-16 or, at very least, J-15

J-15 won’t be as good as J-11B though, it does have 2x more PL-12 but it is notably heavier and doesn’t get WS-10A to make up for it. Though funnily enough it seems that J-15 actually has an advanced HMD instead of HMS on the J-11B.
