With the F-35 and its capabilities, the whole thing becomes rather complex when packaging a bunch of technologies together in a WVR engagement.

There is the F-35 with the HMCS, EODAS (AN/AAS-37) and LOAL
There is then the AIM-9X II with trust vectoring

Their combined capabilities give the F-35 a very wide engagement envelope in any WVR fight. The HMCS (from memory) has a 120 degrees HOBS capability. This together with lock on after launch (LOAL) combined with the AIX-9X II with thrust vectoring gives the F-35 over the shoulder shot capability. In addition because of DAS with 360 degrees view and cueing, it theoretically gives the F-35 unmatched capability not found in any other plane. It is the combination of these reasons that is expected to give the F-35 an edge in WVR engagement.

A number of post back we already discussed it that AIM-9X II is only available in 3F but carried externally. Block 4 development will provide capability for internal carriage.

(dated Jul 22, 2013) found
F-35 is currently cleared to carry two AIM-9X underwing, along with four AIM-120Ds are carried internally. When fielded, the fighters are likely be carrying Block II missiles internally, which can acquire targets after being launched, (lock On After Launch – LOAL), therefore enabling carrying the missiles inside the weapons bay.

so ... so I'll just say it's important not to confuse LOL with LOAL
