This is just beyond bullshit. Did anyone figure out a way to reliably murder these flying cheats?
Plane is your only option
What vehicles specifically? Im gonna assume Russian, if thats the case the answer is to play Russia.
He is talking about the helis with dircm
Its kinda hard to at times depending on whats up in the air and the map. Tried playing CAP to deal with some SU-34’s firing from their airfield. Got one of them but a BUK M3 got me.
Not suprised gaijin hasn’t bothered fixing IRIS-T though im pretty sure both the SLS and SLM are not even a slight concern guven the state of the other new SPAA.
Every game I had for now, both the Z-10 and Mi-28s were hovering without reaction just lobbing missiles everywhere and nothing my team threw at them came even close to them.
This is absolutely pathetic!

Wait for more US players to get the Ah64e and it will only get worse
Nope, they’re on our team mostly, lol.
What’s gonna be a problem is them abandoning the ground just to be killed by BUK.
How? Well it’s just too fast for them to get into multipathing zone.
If a heli gets killed by anything radar guided, that is honestly a skill issue
They are basically impossible to pick up on radar if they just hover or don’t move too much
We’re talking about russian heli pilots right here
You were talking about US pilots and so was I
if u spam 3-5 missiles back to back (within 1s) it will hit. works on the mi28 not sure abt z10.
Well, SAMPT and another thing exist anyway.
Wellp

Helis can’t be reliably killed by radar missiles. Tried it often with AIM-120. I guess hoovering helis have a bad doppler return (just ingame, irl the rotors will likely light them up af). IR missiles are bad as well, thx to MAW or this new DIRCM forcefield-like protection.
Maybe its possible with Rafale and TWS mode + Mica. EF2000 and ICE Phantom’s TWS won’t work either, tried it as well. Its too bad.
What would probaly work is to downgrade the SPAA to one with mouse guidance (SACLOS mode) like the Rolands or VT1. You simply eyeball it into the heli. Sadly LMURs have bit more range than VT-1 but this should mostly work. 12 km vs. 14 km isn’t a big deal. So put out Flarakrad over IRIS-T?

The slight issue to the SACLOS tactic, is that the heli no longer needs to keep the LOS. They can pop, fire and hide, before any CLOS/LOSBR missile gets to them.

They need to climb quite a bit up to get sufficient battlefield view. Need a few seconds to spot targets as well. If you’re waiting for them, VT1 could probably connect before they finish their attack.
I know this from UHT times (played it often as PARS still did damage to tanks), you can’t just pop out shoot and get down again. Not even with this higher up periscope optics. Map design, trees, buildings just block your view. You need to get higher up, which makes you vulnerable. There are just very few map exceptions with high up mountains and other special terrain features, which might serve as solid cover.

IRIS-T SLM’s radar being only able to perform vertical AESA scan is correct? Seems weird
