That is DIRCM vs proxy fuse. No proxy fuse and the chance drops yet again.
There are no IIR seekers as far as I am aware on AAMs, except from the new SPAAs which IDK how they work as of RN. The new SPAAs for sure will change that but IDK how well they will work vs helis in the first place.
Not all apparently, they differ by LDIRCM and DIRCM, in Gaijin’s implementation too. Actually, Z-10ME got added right now to the dev server and it shares it’s DIRCM type with Ka-52 rather than Mi-28NM, which is much less effective. Ka-52 does not use lasers.
If Z-10ME’s is laser based, like Mi-28NM’s, then we should get it corrected.
Z-10"A" appears to be a premium, by the way.

Erm I guess. But IDK, Gaijin can still reject it.
all DIRCM should use lasers, including KA-52 I think

Do we know what missiles yet?
There is a caution laser marking on it …
still no changes. Could be unfinished, even they don’t want add FNF missiles, things like FS70A should be there

I checked dev server and datamine, seems no any IRCM yet, still unfinished
Do you think gaijin will give us the x19 pod for the Fs70? I’ve been asking them for a while now, but still nothing.
and also the Fs70A guided rockets
I like the rocket gameplay and making curved shots to destroy the anti-aircraft guns, but with the small rocket pod it’s complicated…
not sure if this Z-10ME is still unfinished, maybe time to start preparing some early work about issuing weapons?

Also, does anyone have anything solid on the powerplant of Z10ME? I do hear the 1200 KW figure often, but I do not know where it comes from. Currently Z10ME shares the same 950~~ KW powerplant with base Z10 in the tree.

It should be a WZ-9G from what I’ve seen, having 1500hp, but I could be wrong
Both use the L370 Vitebsk (Laser Based which most DIRCM systems are) system, the Ka-52 just has 2 modules for more coverage above and below the Helicopter whereas the Mi-28NM only has 1 fitted underneath the fuselage.
I hope the Z-10ME at least gets the CM-502KG or some sort of F&F missile, HMD, more rockets (guided and unguided), upgraded DIRCM, x16 AKD-10 loadout, and proper RWR
If the DIRCM stays the same way as it is in top tier it will basically be useless against modern missiles anyways, and we would have to grind ANOTHER helicopter just to get a radar as the only real upgrade.
