Non-US AH-64E should get DIRCM

None of non-US AH-64E should get one.

just like IRIS-T was?

Spoiler

though even as a heli enjoyer I still don’t understand why Gaijin thought LMUR/JAGM MR/CM502/BA-11A was necessary.

LDIRCM was more than enough to keep Helis relevant while the range of Hellfires/Vikhrs etc. meant they could still be checked by the previous SACLOS SAMs

Its just the cycle of WT
We have X problem
Gaijin fixes X problem by introducing Y, which is too powerful and now we have Y problem
We have Y problem
Gaijin fixes Y problem by introducing Z, which is too powerful and now we have Z problem
And it just repeats.

I would have zero issues with LMURs/JAGMs. I would have zero issues with LDIRCM IF it worked correctly.

Because then, counterplay would simply be to overwhelm it with IR terminal missiles.

I’m not sure if pressing a button twice instead of once counts as balanced counterplay

in such scenario, LDIRCM would provide the helicopter with both warning and extra time to defend by employing flares and ducking behind cover. also the whole resource managment aspect of sending two missiles after one heli if you cant reach cap to rearm yourself etc.

preferable gameplay loop to Mi28NM sitting below multipath alt and just sh*tting out LMURs uncontested.

Sounds very, very balanced

FnF helis (especially UHT) had this gameplay loop for years when there was only saclos spaa.

But they could shoot more than 10km and have high likelihood of a kill.
The Pars 3 and the Spike are at least limited in their range and somewhat in their damage but the LMUR is just a heli fired AGM-65G but better when you’re slow

And can you see sarcasm?

You can just play the game and see that 95% of people don’t use the new FnF beyond the first helicopter spawn, because it’s meaningless. It is the same old 5-6km range.

Well, then the problem is the new missile, not the gameplay loop. It’s just funny to see how many people focus on this “It so unfair, I can’t kill it from ground” aspect, although before that they had vehiсles with the same problem for years and it was fine for them.

I agree but most people are plebs anyway for thinking that top tier would be in any way balanced

The chinese one can do it even better LMAO

I don’t know enough about the Chinese helicopters besides a few things like in Bob Dickenson’s video about the Z-10ME but I do think the Chinese deserve a atgm that is not just a prototype for a badly artificial vehicles

I don´t even know what you are trying to tell me with that lol

I don’t know either…
