Fact still is that not even the producers themselves expect it to be effective against IIR.
Thats not the only method DIRCM resistance works. The seeker can guide off a brightness gradiant where the dazzler/laser is at the brightest point.
IE: it just tracks the laser source directly until it "see’s its initial target again.
There is an upper limit to that. And as seen from irradiance, that too increases with range. Afterall it just depends on the power, if high enough it can definitely saturate the seeker.
You cant fully obscure a IIR seeker with lasers, you have kill the seeker, these missiles can home on jam, and as long as psrt of the silhoutte remains expoaed which always happens they can retain accuracy
Are you talking about this?
Yeah, its the same DIRCM as on the Ka-52, which is to say, not a LDIRCM.
Im not sure if its the same in game because i dont have the spaded Mi-8, but if it is they implemented it wrong.
So the Mi-8 has the actual LDIRCM the Mi-28NM has so its correct.
its is completely ineffective against late model stingers because it doesnt work in both IR and UV ranges, it likely is purely IR and as such the UV seeker in stinger would still be able to guide the missile
Thats probably the case for the older ka52 dazzler, but the new dazzler has 2 effectors, which i think is for IR/UV and not just IR.
Does it have wing mounted ones too or only 1 back mounted?
yes the new dazzler does, but the laser DIRCM on the 28NM in game should not
Su-57 I’m pretty sure has a turret
It hss 2, and looks a bit different than the mi28 one.
Slightly, much the same.
Or you could just strap an IIR on a manpads
The Stinger’s POST seeker is effectively already an (Pseudo) Imaging seeker.
Thingy on 25T isnt DIRCM
