One F-18 vs 2 J-11: please some suggestion. Thanks.

Hello everybody. I would like a tip on how to deal with a pair of J-11s (equipped with ECMs) against my F-18. Head on engagement.
I use DCS 2.7.0.5659 Open Beta (the latest update).
I fly at 32,000 feet and am armed with 4 AIM 120B, 2 AIM 120 C and two AIM 9X. Speed about 350 kts. I have activated the internal jammer. My radar is in TWS mode. Of course I have master mode AA on.
The two J-11s activated their jammers.
I have never been able to track either of the two Chinese !!!!!
Instead, the Chinese started launching missiles at me from about 80 nm away !!! I must be missing something because it appears that the APG-70 is a rather sophisticated radar, while so it seems to be that of a 1960 Mig-21. Not to mention my jammer. Of course, the two J-11s shot me down thanks to their (apparently) superior jammers, not to mention my radar which looks like it was built from scraps. I tried repeating the mission three times. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO LAUNCH A MISSILE and, in the end, they always destroyed me (before I could use my JHMCS). So, there are two possibilities: I am doing something wrong (most likely) or, with a pair of J-11s equipped with their prodigious jammers, the Chinese can take down a squadron of F-18s.

If they lock you, it will activate your jammer. If your jammer is activated, you cannot use your radar. 

 

Try it with ECM in RCV mode instead of XMIT.

You should be able to defeat a missile fired from 80 miles quite easily as long as you are not just flying straight into it. Are you going into the beam to break lock? Do you have E-2 or E-3 for datalink? Also, the Hornet is not the best missile platform because it just cant go fast enough to give the missile the extra kinetic energy to acheive a longer range...
