“Digital” RWRs may be able to specify the specific Threat type, isolate a given contact’s Bearing, “in-range” cues and be able to direct other “Electronic Support Measures” (e.g. Hand-off to “Self-Protection” stores & cue Targeting aids, Jamming, Countermeasures etc.). and provide specific “Head-Up” Aural warnings (e.g. SA-6, 10 o’clock, low) & defensive / maneuvering recommendations to crew members.
An analog system basically should only be able to provide Bearing / Quadrant / sector detection, and Received strength / net audio pickup for a threat in a given band.
They’re gonna get JAGM-MR 100% because the JAGM itself is compatible with the Hellfire rack so the devs will just says the JAGM is compatible and give them that instead of AGM-114L.
Should they get JAGM-MR? No. It’s a US development not even fielded on US helis, let alone foreign countries.
At least with Spike, it requires different pylons so they can’t just give it to other AH-64Es.
Yeah, I saw it too. I’m so disappointed. I’m hoping they only give these helicopters it’s actual loadout rather than what the US has.
It just sucks overall because it disincentivizes players to play the US as a whole since what’s the point if all other nations are going to get what the US gets (even if it’s weapon systems are unique) but just at a later time.
yeah they should not get LDIRCM or JAGM-MR because neither of those have been exported for it
and to get stuff added for US vehicles you need proof they used them operationally not just of compatibility (and even then they probably wont add it see BOL for f15s, and LJADMS for f16c and f15e)
