Because I like that title

Perhaps. But I heard that gaijin said he wouldn’t provide the Hellfire L radar-guided missile to the United States

Gaijin is currently against giving the US its Hellfire L’s because they would be difficult to counter

wich is why i said i would be perfectly OK for it to go up to 14.0 to get the c-5

IRIS-T SLM is more difficult to counter. We need more powerful ground-to-ground missiles

The problem with Hellfire L’s is that no ground based countermeasures would disrupt it like other optical or laser tracking missiles. The only thing that stops it is putting a physical barrier between you and it. The saving grace tho is still requires a laser based lockon to tell the radar seeker what to lock onto so youd have a warning if your tank has a laser warning system

they could just add chaff elements to smoke charges

It is sufficient to be able to penetrate the hot smoke

Still wouldnt be enough because chaff isnt thick enough because it uses an active radar homing sensor like with Fox 3’s, which are near impossible to chaff

decrease chaff resistance on the seeker so it gets spoofed by chaff on 1 smoke pop and copy paste said seeker for all MMW guided AGM’s, simple as

Once ASM’s are in game, Russian carriers will be balanced. Otherwise, it should in theory be mostly Ka-25/27’s and Yak-38’s, so painful to say the least.

Another issue is that smoke grenades have zero chaff elements in them. White Phosphorous isnt solid enough to disrupt radar lockon

Wrap the tank with tin foil lmao

gaijin is constantly making compromises on realism for gameplay purposes, the current no MMW rules open some gates that should not be open, they can literally add the Hermes-A to the Ka-52 if they think it’s balanced because it’s laser guided, yet this would have 20km range, which is more than unfair

Modern smoke rounds, at least 66mm NATO and 82mm USSR, has a good amount of chaffs inside them to at least throw off MMW guided missiles


It’s definitely a bad idea to open that can of worms for gameplay balance

John Wayne vibes, why must you tempt me oh Snail!

Its also, IIR guided, and has 25km range
Though I do certainly support a 12.0/12.3 Z-10 with 8 FnF missiles and modernized RWR

IDK how much these will be KH38 level cause it shouldn’t be too much, under MACH1 and from heli, should be just fine.
