that’s because it’s the asset viewer and not indicative of how it will look like in-game.

How will KA-52M compare to MI-28NM and KA-52?

I can smell Smin’s rage a mile away xD

It should be able to carry LMUR, don’t know if it has LDIRCM (I think it has something similar though, not sure, gotta check the KA-52M suggestion), so i would say, between MI-28NM and KA-52

It has what the KA-52 in game already has. It is a form of DIRCM, but it does not use lasers. Instead it uses a modulated IR/UV light to disrupt the guidance on older IR missiles. Think something like what the AH-64D has, but instead of being omnidirectional and always active, it is in 2 pods on the underside of the belly that point towards the missile, and it only activates when it detects an incoming missile.

As far as I remember it had plenty.
The current state it’s in, as a museum, has been made to be in its pre WW1 configuration if I remember correctly.

Also you could watch wargamings video on it cause I’m pretty sure they do talk about the configurations it got during thoughout all it’s active service.

Thank you @joshje100 @skittiee @TopGunCrew8367 .

I’ve been busy because the semester just started, but hopefully I’ll be able to follow along with the updates as they happen this week and on!

Exactly, it’s not a LDIRCM like we intend it for MI28NM, 64E or Z10ME, yet i honestly wouldn’t be surprised if gaijin does close an eye on that and give it magic-LDIRCM effect…

LMUR is also very confirmed for the M model indeed

@Kingtiez-live proudly sharing your amazing suggestion :)

Cluster bombs on the XL when Gaijin?

Was looking through the NASA book about the XL and seen XL-2 was said to have test dropped live ones on multiple occasions. Upon looking for images I found that XL-1 flew with dummy versions but since it should be compatible the option is always there (whenever we get cluster munitions in-game).

Also according to the book XL-2 was used for some HMD evaluations so that may also be possible to see on XL-1 but currently not finding much else about it.

the MLRS in escalation have cluster warheads
