All they have to do is implemented a similar system to beam riding missiles, except, this time, it is a beam that deflects 1 missile at a time and respects the placement of the DLIRCM dazzler and coverage angles. Not this dumb jank ass hitbox that deflects everything with no cooldown.
Which would mean 1 IRIS-T for Mi-28 (since it’s placed at the bottom of the tail and cannot look forward) and 3 for the Apache or Z-10 since they have true 360° coverage with say a few blind spots.
You havent played top tier sim do you?
No i am indeed clinically sane, thank you very much
The BUK can’t hit helicopters reliably, just like other similar vehicles. Helicopters don’t give off consistent signatures for missiles and often sit at multipath height.
Anecdotal, but just the other night, I dumped every missile I had at a Cobra and an AH-64E and couldn’t hit either of them. Helicopters are a bitch to hit with a Fox-3 missile.
The T-80BVM is the most played Russian tank for top tier. Players who don’t own the BVM or T-90M don’t own the Mi-28NM. Hell, I have 8500 hours and I don’t own the Mi-28NM.
You should also keep in mind that Helicopter PVE matches are included with the game count of the Mi-28NM, which likely spiked when they added the LMUR to it.
Also IIR, EO and TV guided missiles shouldnt be affected, made bug report but gaijin still refusing saying they have their own sources?
Dude you can cope explanations all you want. The MI28NM is the most popular heli. It has amazing stats. Its a statistical impossibility that the rise in winrate is caused by meta chasers. Sometimes its ok to accept a likely, simple explanation instead of insisting on a theory that requires tons of improbabilities
The Mi-28NM is the best helicopter in-game, but it’s not common enough to jump Russia’s win rate by itself. It takes millions of helicopter research to unlock the vehicle, and well over a few hundred thousand to get the LMUR on it. It’s not a theory. Games aren’t won from 1 helicopter in a match. You still have to defend objectives.
Fundamentally, the Helicopter is insanely strong, but it’s not much stronger than the AH-64E, yet the US retains a low win rate. Vehicles can be as good as you want, and I’d argue the M1A2 SEP has the best kit in-game overall, yet US mains are not good enough to get the performance out of it.
This is exactly what I was doing an hour ago. The Mi-28 is by far the worst LDIRCM in so far coverage is concerned. Gaijin reversed the belly coverage and inverted it on top of the helicopter to artificially buff it.
Dude there is no other explanation that makes sense. There is no player migration big enough to make the winrate swing this way no matter if you believe it or not the math just plain and simply doesnt check out.
They really need to fix LDIRCM. It’s just so unrealistic.
So, if the good experienced players aren’t common enough to sway the win rate, why has the Mi-28NM supposedly increased it on its own? It takes millions of research to get to, so only the majority of more experienced players have it.
You’re contradicting yourself.
Mi-28NM really helped, but I think the KH-38 was the main factor.
Literally all the red team was playing CAS and only 1 tank on the ground, we got smashed in our spawn
And this is the one I did for the Apache, the hamburger hemispheres means it has a blind spot in the middle and I illustrated a 3rd missile not being dazzled because it can only 2 one at a time.
I am not contradicting myself, you just seem incapable of actually understanding the argument.
The MI28NM didnt increase on its own, it got an immensely powerful new missile thats piss easy to use for even the worst of players. Just because someone has the tree researched doesnt automatically make them insanely good at the game.
Is it so hard for you to understand that the additional games the BVM had in october compared to september aka your so called meta chasers would need a winrate over 100% to make the jump to 57.8% winrate mathematically possible?
The KH38 is way more oppressive than the LMUR, yeah.
It’s not exactly a “100%” situation as nothing really is. What I mean is that for a vehicle like a helicopter to have such a high winrate, it has to rely on teammates to win the games. If your objectives are capped with only a single guy on the ground as backup, you’re still going to lose 99% of the time.
The Mi-28NM is undoubtedly the strongest helicopter in the game, even if only by a slight margin, but H_ngma is overblowing it. Russia’s ground vehicles on their own are not particularly strong compared to an Abrams or Leopard, yet they perform well because the players are doing better than an Abrams or Leopard to compensate.
The thing is if invincible CAS deletes all the enemy team, even a BT-5 will win the ground, bc it has no enemies to face.
The CAS its the cause, and the win on ground the consequence.
This was not very likely before kh38 and ldirc bc was somewhat balanced, but now Russia has the absolute advantage.
Well, russian air is absurdly strong. Its LMUR, KH’s and DIRCM. These toys wipe out most of an enemy team with one volley. Seen kill messages by the seconds. Its so easy so spacebar helpless ground units.
Its not just at top tier. Also at low tier Yak-9 simply gun down even Tiger tanks with default belts. APHE shot into the turret and boom. Its the same as in toptier. Enemy tanks drop like flies to russian air and thats the story.
And so did literally everyone else? What’s your point?
It’s an indicator of experience. Especially for someone who went through the trouble grind a helicopter tree, then spading the vehicle. Someone with that mindset will always be better than someone who didn’t do so.
There are plenty of people I’ve run into with 70% win rates in their russian lineups. The reason why a “Meta Chaser” can come to a lineup they already have when it gets buffed and sharply increases a win rate is that they have the strong vehicles.
For Russia, when it gets popular, the players who want to use it again for the new shiny toy will bring out their KH38 missiles alongside the LMUR. A single helicopter can’t do anything on its own, but a helicopter with a strong vehicle lineup and an Su-30 or Su-34 can do some real damage even with only a single player in the lobby.
The problem isn’t the Mi-28NM on its own. My point is that the Mi-28NM is only a piece of the puzzle here. Returning players bring their optimized lineups, which, even while few in number, can bring serious punishment.
If your team’s SPAA gets wiped out by a Su-30 or Su-34, they weren’t playing particularly well. These missiles, while strong, can be intercepted, and most SPAA at least can suppress them from getting angles to team wipe.
Fundamentally, this game is and should be balanced with asymmetrical gameplay in mind. An aircraft will always be stronger than a tank in a fight, but the tank can have SPAA, which should be stronger than the plane (within reason).
That’s not entirely true. The F-4E was the original bias CAS plane, and thanks to decompression, is again.
In CAS, yes. Not much in other areas. Their radars are terrible and slow.
The KH38 is a problem because it lacks an equivalent in other tech trees. The LMUR is strong, but isn’t too much stronger in effect compared to a JAGM or Blue Arrow. LDIRCM isn’t a Russian thing exclusively and the AH-64E performs just a little bit under the Mi-28NM.
LDIRCM needs to be made more realistic, but it shouldn’t be used as a “Russian Bias” thing since the US and China also have it.
Yes. I made the most popular post slamming Gaijin for that decision.
