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…
Was that sand of Sinai match?
No, one of the winter maps. Theoretically with lotsa cover… But this Z10 was hovering high above the battlefield and shot right from above. No cover possible. They just climb up there, while ignoring like 10 IRIS SAMs^^ Once they’re above the battlefield, they look 90 deg down and see everyone.
Was also mainly a German team with everyone sporting IRIS. For these cases you need Flarakrad or Roland. Its just meh, this whole DIRCM mechanic. Maybe thats the way, wasting another slot for an old SACLOS SAM vehicle. Cause up to date systems can’t deal with mighty DIRCM.
Funny that i just got clapped in it by the first IRIS-T missile.
Mi28 DIRCM coverage is not 100%, thats true. But Z-10 is…
Oh so that’s why I never get clapped by ir missiles in my Z-10ME but happened when I was playing with Mi28NM.
Make sense.
It doesn’t really matter though? Once the IRIS-T gets hit by the LDIRCM its basically dead. Basically any helicopter makes the entire system more of a detriment to the team.
a barrel roll while flaring is enough to decoy an IRIST. stop these lies man.
Messes me up as a Typhoon armed with crappy Brimstones, you either end up spending the whole game defending and sooner or later one of those missile will ignore your flare and smack you.
Or you try to make the attack and the Brimstone doesn’t kill and you die to another system.
Also hate that Gaijin allow Russian mains to spawn a Pantsir as a “free vehicle” Great work Gaijin.
