The Mi-28 is exceptionally strong due to its IRCM capabilities and the difficulty of intercepting its missiles, but other helicopters are also quite formidable.
I’d rate AH-64E almost as dangerous as Mi-28NM. It (US one) also has DIRCM and carries more missiles. JAGMs are rather quick compared to Hellfires too.
All of them are equally cancerous, the Mi-28 just so happens to be played the most and was not a separate aircraft people had to grind.
Also a 8x missiles = 8x frags factor
That Lmur heli is just unstoppable. It decides match after match. Why isn’t there any emergency fix?
Why would they “fix” something that’s working exactly as they designed it? Do you really think they don’t know what they’re doing? When the Puma was added, it got a BR bump one week after release. One week. They’re not ignoring us, this was planned, and it’s working exactly the way they intended.
And do you honestly think it’s a coincidence that they dropped a shiny new premium in the same BR bracket as the IRIS-T SLM in the very same patch they nerfed it?

I’m so tired with this underperform IRIS-T SLM. At least they can share some source for the change instead using imaginary logic and change. Even CM only can remove post instead give answer.
Edit
Spoiler
(And yep I saw random Su27 wallet warrior version using Kh29 and I can’t doin anything because the missile is nutz that 6 IRIS-T SLM missiles can’t even hit 1 missile, and another match 3 missile can’t hit a single AGM65F, luckily our MAMBA launched his missile on it)

How to tell Gayjin if the main issue of IRIS-T SLM ability against DIRCM or LDIRCM isn’t IRIS-T SLM nose cone. But the seeker ability in their noodle code and the speed (burn time and the max speed should be 1.030 m/s instead of 975 m/s).
I think because data link just stops working in IR terminal guidance.
let’s said the DL stop working in terminal phase. At least this missile should be able to differentiate it main target with enemy missile and have their memory intake which one target is their main target. The current nose cone issue that just jettisoned at 4km from target just add more issues instead to fix it. That nose cone doesn’t change anything in the game except only give limiter to the missile seeker capability. This missile using IIR seeker IRL that’s mean this missile not only using IR but using image too to identify his target. If Gayjin said this is engine limitation just add code to make sure this missile doesn’t change it target when already at terminal phase or make sure the target same as the target from the radar.
Even this missile can’t hit AGM, in “too” many cases.

They need to give it continuous Datalink guidance, this forcefield nonsense needs to end.

The IRIS-T SLM uses the HX 44M, it’s the Sky Sabre that uses the SX 45.
Too right, these vehicles are unable to engage munitions at distances below 9km.
Testing it in a controlled environment lead to a hit rate in the 20 percentages (one-by-one btw), in an actual battle with several going off at once delivered by vehicles that are either immune or can easy terrain mask it’s no wonder they’re unable to manage.
I should’ve prefaced this was tested with the LMUR and AGM-179, the most numerous of all munitions you see nowadays.
There is an accepted bug report on this issue… few days old… maybe few months
No? The Sky Sabre uses a HX 44 and the SLM uses a SX 45.
You have to make a distinction here, launcher and Radar use different trucks.
Radar uses SX45(L)
As for launcher, it seems to be HX77, but I lack definitive proof.
For context here is a comprised list of all the munitions shot down over the course of 113 matches.
I have reason to believe that a total of 84 munitions would be representative of that many matches if it’s capabilities were up to snuff.
If you could provide a source, I would love to see it.
Looked into it. The choice of the truck depends on the nation which operates the system as these systems seem to be transportation platform agnostic (Could even be a special semi-trailer pulled by a commercial truck).
Germany seems to operate their SLM systems with SX 45 according to this site (and every other I found when searching “IRIS-T SLM SX 45”). The presentations at military fairs were also done on SX 45 for the SLM system.
