The current implementation is detached from reality anyway in the case of Mi-28MN, it should have coverage under and behind the heli, and should only be able to distract 1 missile at a time.
Now tell me how that ball (L370V28-5L) can project a laser trough the heli, it’s clear as day that it’s meant to defend against manpads because of placement but Gaijin in their incompetence implemented it lazily and overpowered(wonder why?), while other systems like the MUSS on puma are literally useless with how bugged they are.
Cause only SLAMRAAM, Spyder (Derby), Type 81C (ARH missile) are immune to that while IRIS-T, Elde 98, CS/SA5, Spyder (Python 5) and SLAMRAAM (AIM-9x) are not.
Russian players always have ka-52 in their lineup, now they will only use MI-28NM due to the immunity it gives against almost every new SPAA. So other nations players are forced to either choose to buy another lineup for the old SPAA or sacrifice an MBT or IFV slot for the old SPAA so as to have an option if there is enemy MI-28NM up and you know how many helicopters the Russia spam each match.
Just a heads up the ka-52 will have this as well and if they fix the mi-28’s angles it covers the ka will be better as it has two of the lazer emitters
Unless of course there’s an image with the LDIRCM ball like on the Mi-28MN, it looks visually distinct as well so there’s no way it to not recognize it.
Why is it ML lol? need to change to MT. Funny thing, I tested and if u just sit there, no IR SPAA can even destroy your vikhrs now. Obviously other SPAA can but they can’t dodge.
I would love to hear the justification to applying this to eastern block helicopters, and neglectiing to do the same for western ones which have the same capability.
I would also love to hear the justification for doing it the exact same update that (some of us) finally get better air defence systems.
Is that another version of the Mi-28?
That might be a LDIRCM but it would be strange to put it on the nose where it would be highly unlikely a manpad could come from.
But even then it’s not the version we have in game and it’s stupid OP anyway because it can distract however many missiles at the same time.
In my opinion its skill issue. Because it really will be a lot of fun to play in the top tier and a SAM spawn kill helicopters , but as you can only see Russia did not even wait to see if the others will receive other versions or pods . Use the head that God gave you
