the only apachee in game is from 1998 fighting brand new state of the art sams…
and doesnt even have its contemporary missiles
and the hellfires in game are modeled terribly with an awful flight profile that combines the downsides of of its direct and top attack profiles with none of the benefits of either
Im aware, the Hellfire k we have in game is the Hellfire k block 1, not even the extended range or added tracking systems. The hellfire K2A could give us longer range while still be laser guided, or gaijin could just add the long bow…
even if they just fixed the flight profile it would be nice, right now they dont top attack like they should while having the time to target of the highest lofting flight profile

With the new sams the only way the apachee could be competitive is with the hellfire Ls or the hellfire M
Therefore, the US should have been engaged not in the military-industrial complex, but in developing magical skills.
Notice how the roundel is not the US

You say that like the AAQ-24(V) doesn’t exist.
Common Infrared Countermeasure Systems Approved by US Army for Early Fielding
Feb. 9, 2023 – Northrop Grumman Corporation’s (NYSE: NOC) Common Infrared Countermeasures (CIRCM) system has achieved Initial Operational Capability (IOC). With IOC, the U.S. Army demonstrated the ability to field, employ and maintain CIRCM in significant quantities on its rotary wing platforms. This milestone advances the accelerated fielding of CIRCM systems on more than 1,500 Army aircraft. CIRCM has met the IOC requirements for UH-60M, HH-60M, CH-47F and AH-64Es.
It’s also worth noting that it only uses ~200 watts of power so it’s not achieving missile defeat by destructive methods either.

Unfortunately it’s on a different platform/helicopter than the current one in game

Ah-64E - plane?
No
They had that on C17s
Garbage argument for a helicopter made in 1998, not even with upgraded packages either just stock 1998 Apache. The AH64 E should’ve been here with the pantsir, along with long bow hellfires.

I’m just using Gaijin logic though. Same as how LMUR will never come to the current Ka-52, but to the Ka-52M which they will add in the future probably
also…
Notice the american roundel???
Notice the same EXACT DCIM module???
Gaijin cant use “it never had it” logic with photo proof of it being used

Ain’t that an AH-64E?

could be but i just looked up the dcim system.
Even then the 64E should come this update, it would fit against the sams.
Well, Russia have LMUR and China have AKD-21 that are F&F but because adding that would mean US also have to either get 64E with Spike/Hellfire-L or add Hellfire-L For 64D and AH-1Z. Because the whole reason why it isn’t added is because it uses MMW that Gaijin so much hate.
And fair for Russia? definitely not as it their Vikhr ATGM that killed Helicopter PVP mode and why we hate the russian heli’s so much, better than hellfire in everything.
As for DIRCM/LDIRCM, I know that 64D AMASE have modified pods that include 2x DIRCM in it and 64E also have it. For LDIRCM however, i cannot be certain but as what people have posted so far above me, it seems to be true that US indeed does have LDIRCM since 2000s.

They use circms as well on the 64 E which could be more advanced
