Add "Lock-On After Launch (LOAL) - CEC Capable" to its DB properties (same as AIM-120D, Meteor and AAM-4B).
The cooperative engagement capability of this weapon has been long rumored. And now we have sufficient evidence (including confirmation from a leader of Missile Institude in China) to give it this ability in game.
