MI-28NM received DIRCM, protection against all missiles. DEV

I’m just saying that the Mi28NM and Ka52 are now immune to all guidance besides SACLOS and ARH and both have Vihkr which is still very good

But Ka-52 didn’t get it though.

Not yet but my point is that Western nations still have the same Apaches from many years ago and haven’t gotten anything new along those lines and now the NM has something that the West can’t defeat 4/5

No, it literally cannot get it until probably the Ka-52M, because old style L-370 uses IR Dazzlers (or something of that nature)

That’s what I’m talking about. I know only the 52M has it

Different helicopter though? Probably will come around the Same time as AH-64E

No it doesn’t tho, the Ka-52M doesn’t use LDIRCM, only the Mi-28MN (and apparently Mi-8), the Ka-52M uses the L-418-5 which is kind of like a dual IR/UV lamp i guess?

Although some articles say that instead of the L370-5 they can mount the L-370-5L which is the one the Mi-28MN has and is effective against IIR currently.
But without any images i doubt it will get implemented, and the Ka-52M only uses the new L418-5 DIRCM anyway.

Sure and then listen to all the complaining about the LMUR 305 and the Khrizantema 9M123M-type (MF) when they get added as well…
Oh and…

Spoiler

KH-38 is being tested for helicopter launch, I believe only on the navy KA-52Ks so far though.

FUN. We can get KH29s already no?

In game the implementation is severely wrong.
The LDIRCM is only effective against IR missiles. IRIST, having an IIR seeker with Home-on-jam capabilities should not be decoyed from this.

Secondly, there is only 1 module of the LDIRCM hence it can only decoy 1 missile at a time.

Thirdly, the module, being mounted below the helicopter, should not work above the helicoper meaning missiles coming from the blindspots of the module should not be decoyed by it.

All these are changes that SHOULD happen.
But havent yet

They are still seriously affected by it, and it is down to sort of chance or angle whether some parts of the recognising features are still visible, they might well be lost and at which point it is down to IOG.

When fired km away the blind spot is smaller than u think.

It received LDIRCM which can now decoy everything. Even things that it should not.
We have sources from the manufacturer that show that the current implementation is wrong and things like the IRIS-T and IIR agms as well as TV AGMs should not be affected

The current in game model of the ka-52 has the LDIRCM pods not the dazzlers just a heads up

In the game, yes
Should they be? Not at all.

They are 5th generation missiles, and the manufacturer of the system warrants effectiveness only up against 3rd gen missiles

Huh. Well, if the module doesn’t have direct LOS to the incoming threat, then the threat can not be neutralised.
Simple as

that’s a Kh-35, an anti ship missile

the LMUR (izd305) will probably be added only as a spyke at first and recieve it’s MITL guidance when other munitions do.

They still should. I think u should have a look at what DIRCM looks like on thermals, literally a massive white spot. This could potentially block off all the IIR signatures which are used for tracking, thus track is lost. Sometimes they can even break IIR seekers, certain parts may even be burnt.

Anything along side similar alt is within field of view, anything above is obviously a different story, likely it is against MANPADS mostly.

especially with a LDIRCM that has a high enough output power

I mean we don’t specifically know but very well could break something especially vs long range launch where it gets a few seconds on target.

Actually the kh-38 is being tested on the 52M and they have been seen carrying KH-25 variants as well as the anti ship missiles you mentioned

No, they should not.
Especially when we have primary sources stating that IRIS-T is immune to auch countermeasures.

Yes
