for those that are willing, does anyone have any sources that tell us what the LDIRCM’s power is? and how strongly it can fry a missiles seeker?
thank you

Watching a video on YouTube, I can say that the Z-10ME completely ignores all heat missiles fired at it. But the Mi-28NM for some reason misses the missiles and dies.
I shot down some Mi-28 with Iris SLM. However can’t tell which one, since there are two versions.
Irl DIRCM (DIRECTED !^^!) just works for one incoming missile and covers not all angles. I think the Mi-28 DIRCM just the frontal part and below. I always shot 2 Iris on every target with a few sec delay. Iris also goes right up into the sky and usually attacks helis from above. I guess in WT its also modeled like this. Thats probably why I dont have issues to down Mi-28.
Can’t comment on the Chinese one, though. Its an ingame niche nation here, not that much played on our server. So no clue.
This is what I’ve noticed as well. My Mi28’s side was facing an Aim-9x and it was still able to track and kill me.

It wont fry any missile, it is a dazzler. LDIRCM role is not to fry a seeker, it is to blind and confuse it, making the missile change trajectory.

one important thing to not is that this system probably does not work on IIR IRL, and can only dazzle one missile at a time (one for mi28 and one per hemisphere for the z10)
Ka-52s lamp style DIRCM doesn’t, Laser when tuned properly does.
there is no evidence to suggest that it does, and ive seen images claiming to show IIR being lased by a similar system where the seeker could still identify the target and get pretty close due to its programing to go to the center of the induced thermal gradient
its not a question of “tuning” its weather the laser is diffused enough to not produce a clear thermal gradient over the seeker and offering it a very bright and obvious target that happens to be co-located with the aircraft mounting such a system
