as if a semi competent aircraft couldnt already negate current anti air. hell theyre so bad you can defeat the missiles by just shooting missiles at tanks which is what youre already doing. datalink is more of a nerf than anything

It’s definitely much harder than before.
Now several nations have good AAs that are, conveniently, mostly useless against new helicopters, unlike against planes.
The iris-t slm changes showed that one nicely.
And how they had to revert kt
Spaghetti code = spaghetti pathfinding
And above all.
A spaghetti noodle in sensor view.

Had 2 bug reports on it, “Not enough info” and “Working as intended”
working as intended
the Intended is to make it perform worse by Depleting energy and increasing TOT to make it more Balanced for what it is (not Soviet)

Honestly the SLM is my 2nd worst AA to face as a helicopter. No.1 is the Pantsir.

in non-LDIRCM heli, sure. even with all of its issues, SLM is probably THE best anti air system out there just because it combines large range and IR terminal thats resistant to multipath.
It gets cucked by LDIRCM nonetheless.
Well I’ve been using the Rooivalk and Apache (12.0 one) so yeah.
Try any LDIRCM equipped helicopter and you will see the difference.
Its night and day, the thing is IRIS-T shouldn’t see those helicopters in the first place because there is no countergameplay when you are using non LDIRCM helicopters once you spotted by IRIS-T.

I don’t own any :/
That’s sad :/
Well tbh I only got Mı-28Nm and Z-10ME but still once I spawned in those helicopters IRIS-T is basically helpless against me.
I’ll get the AH.2 during the next round of sales
I stopped grinding helicopters cause I’m playing every nation and got no time to grind each for them.
Right now I’m focused on grinding new sam systems and spading new top tier jets in order to provide both CAS and AA protection for my team.
If I see any of LDIRCM equipped helis - I launch everything I have, then reload and launch everything I have. Maybe I J-out after, respawn and launch everything I have, then I reload and launch everything I have. Then I die/J-out, spawn flarakrad and launch everything I have. Then I maybe spawn a eurofighter. If you’re still alive by this point, that’s the treatment your heli gets.
Amazing match… Russia player definately will said “don’t crying, stop crying, there’s no Russian bias, this is exactly a fair match!, just spawn AA and stop crying” etc…

Yesterday I had a game where a single Z10 with unfailable DIRCM decided the match. I must have fired 10 IRIS at this chopper, but they all turned away as they closed in. Looked hilarious. He just wen’t on ATGM everyone including my Iris.
It bs. Mi-28 is almost the same. You can’t harm these choppers. Total imbalance. The worst thing is that most players leave frustrated, when they get mass killed from the air. A match might collapse within 2 minutes. Gajin should really figure something out. But DIRCM seems to be off the to-do list.
My post being removed at Next Major Update R&R just because I am asking Gayjin if they can fix this issue or not in next major update. Seems like Snail don’t like it…
