Apparently IIR-seeker do not really care about DIRCM.

afaik 9X is IIR right

57

afaik, yes

58

so DIRCM wont do scheibe against it?

59

That is one part of the story and that is one IIR vs 1 DIRCM. However IRL it looks much worse and some parts of IIR seeker could even be damaged by high energy DIRCM. There is more to it than that but it does have a sort of flare vs IRCCM kind of feel cause it is down to angles and DIRCM can also adapt to scan patterns.

60

complete immunity is never guaranteed but looking at the video at the top the effectiveness of DIRCM seems kinda absurd, almost like 500m no no zone against IR missiles.

Yeah it is modeled a bit aggressively in WT but it is not final.

Yep , adats is a dual-purpose short range surface-to-air and SLAMRAAM is a medium range surface-to-air. One is designed to kill aeroplanes, missiles and other things and the other helis, ground attack planes, drones and others.

I love your datamines.

is the power output of L370 DIRCM known ? (in watts, preferably)

66

Helicopters have always been tricky to target because of this, and the fact that the rotor blades don’t really give a consitent return (one hemisphere of the rotor gowing away, one going towards the radar). Since the 1990s though, most missiles can probably, with the use of a bit of signal processing, target helicopters successfully

67

Not confirmed anyways.

Issue is these things are not in WT, multi path is 100% effective and signal processing will also struggle against really low flying heli.

68

Unconfirmed ?

Does it means there is a value somewhere, or is it just completely unknown ?

69

Might be, but IDK. Definitely not set in stone for a vehicle / system in the past decade or so.

if said heli flies lower than 2m high, maybe.

For now, they mostly stand very far from long range SAM sites, and their best defense seems to be… goold old earth’s curvature. Even then, they look more and more like an endengered species more than anything else these days.

I think getting DIRCM to be implemented realistically (X missiles jammed at a time, X being the number of lasers onboard) with a reduced efficiency on IIR seeker should be easier than Gaijin having to rework all fox-3 seekers (not to mention the potential impact on air RB)

Currently DIRCM is just some sort of invisible force field against anything IR guided, which is not realistic in any shape or form

71

Well I mean we haven’t seen any sort of heli action for the past decade, except from being slammed. Russians are basically using heli as artillery at this point.

Thats dumb. Helicopters are literal radar disco lights.

Su-57 apparently is the first fighter to receive it if they really put it on the felon and not them lying to make it look better. Some cargo and transport planes have it as well
