Definitly looks similar but its not a DAIRCM sensor. It may be something nee the germams did but have not mentioned.

i mean, you can say what you want but hes objective. you do have a magical missile shield

what is your idea of irl lol, these system’s working against imaging seeker is a VERY dubious thing, its unlikely to be the case at all, let alone to the level they work ingame, not even russia markets their LDIRCM as capable against modern imaging seekers. and the us currently has what is arguably the strongest Ldircm system in service on AH-64E fleet(CIRCM) which we dont have ingame yet for some reason.

the ah64e could also recive a similar system. these are Circm wingtip pods https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTAcZrvIY0A
From 2025’s Marine Aviation Plan:
So, the DAIRCM is still being fitted to the AH-1Z whic means the one in the game is basically missing the capability.
Unfortunately, from my research, the AAQ-45 DAIRCM is electro-optical only, which means it will work like the KA-52’s instead of the Mi-28NM/Z-10ME’s. The AH-64D/E and MH-60M are the only US helis with laser IRCM (not counting stuff like CH-47), unfortunately again the MH-60M is not modeled ingame but the earlier MH-60L (I might make a suggestion on this for a remodel). It would still be a great buff for the AH-6M which has no laser warning or countermeasures.

What do you mean by Electro-Optical?
There is literally no difference in the waveforms that they can send (only benefit is range / reduced power draw / system volume for equivalent protection), and difference in performance entirely “gaming convention” based on absolutely nothing.
As far as I understood it, the laser IRCM such as the CIRCM are more effective than EO systems like the AAQ-45 or ALQ-144 etc., but even if that is not correct, the current LDIRCM overperform wildly in-game and the AH-1Z won’t benefit from that because the DAIRCM doesn’t shoot a laser like CIRCM and Mi-28/Z-10’s LDIRCM do.

Not to build them on idea of superiority complex.
blud is just saying stuff
So, from the excerpt you have provided stating that it;
- “The system uses a single-centrally installed laser that can feed all of the beam directors.”
Means that it’s powered an incoherent source (Black body), not a Coherent (Laser ) one?
I have a feeling that it, in fact might use a Laser.
Not that it should matter.

I feel like electro optical might refer to the way it detects and tracks the missiles
I mean I’m not sure but all the LDIRCM systems like the CIRCM use a turret that point a laser to defeat enemy missiles, while the DAIRCM replaces the AAR-47 MWS and doesn’t seem to use any turrets so understood it that it wouldn’t be able to shine a laser at a specific point?
Theres informnation in my sources that explain how it works. It does in fact use and IR laser. And it is directed through the sensor/beam directors. There is at least 4 of them and the laser can feed all 4 beam directors.

Someone else that’s more knowledgeable than me should make a bug report lol
Ah64e too
This is a different system there is no evidence that ah64e has been installed with DAIRCM as of yet.
what is even the diffrence of circm and daircm. i could see in the dev server that it has the wing mounted circm pods but not that they actually worked…

DAIRCM means Direct Aperture IRCM. Its how it works essintaly. Its a fairly new system that uses a single laser that focuses it through these sensor/bean directors that a computer controls to make the most effective defense against missiles.
Isnt this literally what circm is ??? Like the northrup grumman video?
