Ah so now you know how bug reporting works
That aside yea it should be changed back to 10km
And who flagged this? What

They have changed the system from a good anti-air system to a med or poor one.

There is absolutely nothing that warranted this nerf, I just can’t understand why they thought that decreasing the lock range would somehow aid in countering LDIRCM? When the actual problem is THE LDIRCM IMPLEMENTATION ITSELF, and not how the missile works.
They simply could’ve fixed LDIRCM in this whole time, by doing this, the devs are doubling down on not changing their IRCM implementation, which is overperforming in nearly all areas.
Which is honestly baffling given that they have accurately depicted so many complex systems before. Is the competency crisis also affecting Gaijin development, or are they so conceited as to not want to give the community what they expect? This just reminds me of the “we think this is clearly a marketing lie” fiasco and turning a blind eye to the evidence that Kh-38 was overperforming a year or so ago in that massive thread.
I honestly think they are just messing with us at this point. They obviously not want to depict LDIRCM properly, no realistic coverage angles, no cool down between missile jamming, and not being able to overwhelm the system. And we don’t need an encyclopedia of data to prove this, it’s pure common sense.
In my honest opinion, there is a serious cultural and moral degeneration within the company staff, I just can’t believe they would allow the broken IRCM to make it to the game in the first place, to then ignore all bug reports and double down on not wanting to fix it. This is both incredibly concerning and sad.

Gaijin Developers and now I’m going to say Community Managers are so pathetic.
Lets add a ‘FEATURE’ to the game, but oh we won’t actually implement it properly so you guys deal with god mode helicopters because ofc everyone is running a SACLOS/BEAM RIDING SPAA in their lineups.
If the Community Managers genuinely cared about our feedback, they would persuade the developers into VAULTING/DISABLING this ‘FEATURE’ until it can be implemented properly.

Yeah, I agree, it should be back to 10km.

I have one secondary source that says that the cone covering the IR seeker opens when it enters range, which should be at 25 km

You can´t really compare the FB-10 ot that though as you can shoot it without a radar lock at ranges up to like 18km.
This is absurdly insulting and comes along with the comically broken LDIRCM changes.
Gaijin is full of the most putrid malice towards logic, in the 3yrs the Pantsir absolutely molested all other CAS gaijin did nothing but buff it, even when it was clearly the best SPAA in the game bar none.

Watch out you’re going to summon the weirdos that say there’s no such bias, or that the Pantsir was never OP.
You know, people that don’t actually play top tier that seem to base their entire opinion off of custom battles, and stat cards.

I like the fact Stona (as dev rep) mention in War Thunder "Spearhead" - Changelog I quote “to increase resistance to IRCM”. In fact in the game nothing changed about the IRIS-T capability against magical forcefield, it just makes it worse.

I am happy to aggressively violate (with the Pantsir) anyone who harbors notions of the Pantsir not being top 3 even to today.
I have played it for years, and I am happy to show how utterly un-fun it is to play against. If played right, it will either kill you, or effectively remove you from the game.

So we had AA what actually worked nicely.
ONly issue was these ldirmc’s ( and funny how people cry about mi28 when apaches works even better :D )
But now you NERF iris, and trying to sell it as a BUFF to players.
So now we shoot some broken *** plane , example rafale , before it could track it on 10km by own seeker, and now we need to keep radar ping until 4km, dont get me wrong but please lighten me how this is a BUFF? And how this will help us to counter CAS.

@Smin1080p_WT Can Community Manager give us an explanation? GAIJIN refuse to provide Germany with a usable helicopter, won’t buff the PARS3, and now nerfed the IRIS-T without any justification.Right now I genuinely wish Gaijin could refund all the RP and SL I spent on Germany—just let me go grind the Soviet tree instead.

LDIRCM helis aside, which is a whole other issue, the IRIS was way overtuned.
Havent played against it yet since the update, have to see how bad it is now.
Did people really thought Gaijin will let SPAAs dominate over CAS ?
well the main issue currently because this IRIS-T only works again drones now. You only have very small chance to hit heli or plane.

I don´t mind that
You might not, but the other who use it as shield to protect teammates from CAS will mind it. And this place is for people to discuss who care about this issue.

Title: Why is Germany getting nerfed when the stats say otherwise?
I honestly don’t understand Gaijin’s logic anymore. According to the official statistics, Germany’s win rate is only around 45%, clearly below average. Yet the IRIS-T gets nerfed. Meanwhile, nations like Russia have LIMUR and Kh-38 with over 60% win rate, and nothing gets adjusted there.
People on the forum keep complaining about “OP Russian weapons,” but instead of balancing that, Gaijin keeps weakening Germany. Where’s the logic in that? If you look purely at the numbers, it should actually be the other way around to restore balance.
Can anyone explain why Gaijin is doing this?
Or are they just ignoring their own statistics?
