I feel like 12.7 AA BUK-M3 manages to destroy helicopters with IRCM better than any other 12.7 AA

I haven’t been destroyed by a single 12.7 AA in my IRCM equipped AH-64E (the missiles are diverted), EXCEPT against BUK-M3s. Their missiles do not seem to be bothered one bit by the IRCM tech.

Am I being paranoid, or the BUK-M3 is some kind of super 12.7 AA against helicopters with IRCM ?

Nope, that’s the fact so you not being paranoid.

IRCM doesn’t work against radar missiles.

IRCM does not do anything agains ARH missiles. It is the fact helis are mostly slow/not moving, so the missile seeker does not see them.

Oh its you again, srop crying dude you didnt even play 100 games is top tier.

Imagine LDIRCM not working against missiles not using IR tracking…
This is odd, you really should do a bug report…

Aah yes, must have fight against IRIS SPYDERs and other IR 12.7 missiles then

That’s odd, the Mi-28NM doesn’t seem to be bothered by my SAMP/T missiles, which are ARH

Interesting

Buk M3 missiles are LDIRCM/IRCM homing bro.

You only reached top tier Russia (thus never experienced anything else), but still affirm NATO MBTs are not garbage and russian bias doesn’t exist

I have equivalent or better winrates with my poor french VBCI/VBCI 2/Jaguar (I only use them at 12.7) than your russian MBTs

Your best performance being the BMPT

Laughable, not sure who’s the noob here tbh

ARH

Mi-28NM doesnt seem to be bothered against ARH missiles. Typo

As i said

In game rotor doppler return is not modelled. ARH missile seeker needs the target to either move relatively fast, or be high in the sky and not chaffing. So all helis are immune to ARH seeker while hovering/flying slowly, excluding the situation where the missile flies close enough to them while on DL/IOG.

BUK manages to destroy them better cuz 360mm bomb with 25m trigger radius

You know what the IR in IRCM stands for right? Infra-Red, as in not Radar Countermeasures

Mi-28NM basically never gets hit by ARH missiles, I assumed all helicopters equipped with IRCM were immuned to ARH missiles

I see other helicopters going down from these much more often, maybe it’s just a feeling

So BUKs are better than other 12.7 AAs ?

It does, if moving enough to be tracked by the doppler radar

Lot of heli players are smart enough to know how to sit inside the missile radar “blind spot”

Perhaps against helis yeah, tho i find its missile pretty easy to notch with chaff

Unlike you i am grinding germany and dont main only one nation.

Still at least play the game before saying non sense comment
