IR guided air to ground munitions can’t be flared in any way.
Whether it is through a missile launch or actual flares or ircm.
You need to break los, use LDIRCM or terrain mask.
This is consistent with ALL air to ground munitions with IR guidance.
For TV missiles (TV bombs can’t lock aircraft) LDIRCM doesn’t work
Then the pars is bugged, I have watched it go for a launched missile a couple days ago. Unfortunately I don’t have a clip of it, so you’ll need to take my word for it.
I can definitely say, that the LMURs are way better at tracking, because they actually have a top down attack (something the pars should also have) and track even diving behind hills.
The fight the community had to get the IRIS-T SLM to reach Mach 3 (which doesn’t actually reach Mach 3 consistently, with peak velocity only sustained for a few seconds), despite several secondary sources stating the missile can reach that speed, vs. what they implemented in the very next patch (several missiles going Mach 3+), is a testament to that. lol
This is just a complete lie, IR agms are completely unaffected by any form of ircm except LDIRCM
Spike ER is worse in every way.
There are also reason why the NM is 13.0 while the UHT is 12.7, UHT (and pars) is worse so it’s at a lower br
(Edit) forgot they changed it from 12.3 to 13.0 to 12.7 with buff
My statements were, in this case, anecdotal personal experience. I have died more against spike-ERs than have gotten helicopter kills with the pars 3.
A good chunk of that difference might very well be the range disadvantage of the pars 3 and the better seeker of the spike-ER.
Afterall both are the worst helicopter mounted fnf AGMs in the game atm. The Pars 3 DOES have a better attack mode in real life, which would make it somewhat competitive with the LMURs. While not being better due to the way smaller TNT equivalent and lower range.
They should give Spike it’s man-in-the-loop capabilities, even if it’s limited to the target you locked. Like, you can’t mad-dog the missile, but you can choose where it’s going to hit. It would improve the missile a whole lot.
Yeah this just sounds like a skill issue ngl, you can literally hear spikes approaching you, and sometimes maws is also helpfull, you can dodge them. or hide behind the hangar
Spike-ER and PARS 3 LR both have functionally the same seeker, with the spike only having better gimbal limit and track rate, both of which are useless against helicopters
PARS 3 LR also just has a functionally better range, and is just way faster
But i do agree, it’s kinda bad atm and is the second worst fnf, should get some sort of update, since it’s the best the germans can get, last i checked
