IF they are COMPLETELY covered,yes. But that’s the problem because doing is is very hard and probably down to pure chance.
But let’s see what adjustments they make and what actually makes it to the live server.
Bug reports have been created and partially accepted, now we can only sit back and wait to see what the developers do with them.
Here’s what dev have to say
Yeah basically theyre gonna let it remain broken until we complain loud enough for long enough.
It’s not a a system it’s a FORCE FIELD MADE BY GAIJIN
The AURA OF STALIN
arent DIRCM and “laser ircm” straight up the same thing in this context?
I’m pretty sure it doesn’t, if it did it should have looked exactly like the LDIRCM on the Mi-28MN, the one we have in game is the one from my image (L370-5) but with a different kind of cover to better spread the dazzler i assume.
It doesn’t make sense for it to be LDIRCM when no LDIRCM looks like that, not on the Su-57 or on the Z-10ME and Mi-28MN.
Examples:
Also the “LDIRCM” on the Mi-8 is probably wrong as well, because from pictures it uses the old L370-5 the Ka-52 uses, so it’s actually just normal DIRCM.
I have one question: How and with which weapon should a Tiger UHT shoot down the MI 28NM now?
Guns.
Kind of.
LDIRCM intend to decoy IR missiles how the shtora decoys SACLOS missiles without IRCCM.
By filling tne entire goniometer/seeker FOV with an over exposure of IR radiation.
However IIR seekers, especially the dynamic scan seeker types of the IRIS-T are immune to this since they scan the same image from different angles hundreds of times a second (or some high number).
Which it doesnt have.
Are you seriously suggesting we take a 12.7mm gunpod against an Mi-28NM which can not only shoot you down with long range beam riding missiles, but also iglas as well as a turret with EEGS???
yep.
It works because the IRIS-T only exposes the seeker for 1-2 microseconds to a target with Laser IRCM, thus the seeker doesn’t get damaged.
I am really sorry that real life is running a train through your fever dream of “russia stronk”, but the countless of shootdowns with Stingers, Iglas and whatnot kinda prove the opposite and that, if anything, the current IRCM on both the 52 and 28 is overperforming.
Where it can’t see anything because it is covered with laser heat. Be it, it doesn’t get damaged, it will be covered, or at least certainly the area of the vehicle. I am sorry but your real life argument is really useless because most NATO nations are looking for DIRCM just that every one barring US can’t afford it.
Also Ka52/50/28s don’t have that. We are talking about Mi28NM specifically which is the only one that has this. These things came in really recently.
Laser IRCM works by destroying the seeker via overexposure, not by making the vehicle “invisible” behind the laser beam.
Damn… u turn out to be trolling lol
Well when the seeker looks, there is a massive laser in its face, which is hugely hot, what can the seeker see? Nothing.
It uses a defocused, detuned quadrant type seeker to provide angular tracking of the target to home on jam it works in effect the same way Inverse monopulse seekers do, where angular corrections are provided by comparing the energy in the four quadrants.

You do get that the most common MANPADS are not in any way modern So these advanced systems are overkill for most threats that are to be expected outside taking on a peer threat, which is why for example the ALQ-144A stayed in service until the mid 90’s.
That takes far too much energy to be possible in a helicopter form factor (on the order of 10’s of kilowatts) let alone within the timeframe of Short range missiles especially for quoted minimum ranges of 500 meters that Stingers for example would clear it in ~1.8 seconds, what it’s doing is injecting a specific jamming waveform into the seeker which drives it off target.
Yeah, u didn’t actually thought I was gonna say 12.7 vs Vikhrs or what ever gun they had.
Or did u?
The IRIS-T has a small seeker which only exposes itself for miliseconds as it scans across and takes a whole image but uses a smaller over all size.
Not only is this better for IRCCM but also cheaper
