Give it time and AH-64Es will be in War Thunder with DIRCM, and Spike missiles.
@Morvran
We are addressing the fact that the dev server IR AGMs are being changed and not DIRCM itself.
On top of that, the vehicles with DIRCM aren’t even usable at top BR as is due to SPAA presence. The IR AGM change quite literally changes nothing because how many AGM-65D frags are occurring against helicopters currently anyway?
Seems there is a dead zone, despite 360 degree horizontal and either 75-90 degree vertical coverage from the emitter. speaking of I think the emitters vertical is flipped to be plus 90 rather than neg 90 and therefore is working through the body of the helicopter and not directly below. Since this is the emitter iirc.
Correction to the coverage, it is 360° azimuth and either the whole upper hemisphere or lower hemisphere, depending if they flipped the values or not.
I’m sorry I don’t know what I’d be looking for, AH-1Z has a bunch of bits on it.

This says it has 360 degree coverage and some other stuff
Look at that UH-1Y. It probably has DAIRCM on it, but I couldn’t tell you where it was if my life depended on it
Very funny that this gets added together with the new SAMs even though the best one should be completely immune to it. You can guess wether it actually is :clueless:
The issue is if Z10ME got CM502KG, it will be the most dangerous heli at toptier, because the shoot range is over 20km and has a similar system like MI28NM, Considering Gaijin still refuses to add HMD for Z10 and buff TY90, it is pretty hard to say Z10ME really has hope to get that
apparently from what iv seen, 25km range is the absolute max against larger targets. Against tank sized targets lockon range goes down quite a bit to around 12-15km
Still hard, I don’t remember if we really have any IR missiles on helis that could have an over 12km shot range
Not in game.
I’m slightly surprised we aren’t also getting an F-102 as maybe a premium for the US and Italy (Turkey) to go along with the AIM-26.
i doubt F-102 is going to be a premium, at least the one that could be added, also Turkey got its F-102’s from the US which means the Turkish F-102 would go to the US
Not everything will go to it’s maker, stuff will get added where and when gaijin sees fit
As far as Turkey goes, all of its stuff so far has gone to its original owner. The reason why their F-104 is in the Italian tree is due to them purchasing it from italy
Just because it has in the past doesn’t always mean it will in the future I mean we even got double of the same vehicle in different trees, well in the case of this updates 3.
Turkish AMBT in US, the F-104’s were license Italian or something along those lines
Anyways there is no point for an f102 in italy
There is, so they can have a delta jet : )
Eurofighter Typhoon?
Also would like to mention that while the F-102 could carry the Aim-26, due to its size it could only carry exactly 1 of them and no other missiles
It better get the 250 ton warhead if it can only bring one
for the sake of WT, it would be the conventional warhead one
