Why does the MUSS nothing vs ATGMs? Nothing vs Hellfires, nothing vs Vikhr…what is it good for? What missiles will be affected by MUSS? Why are incoming missiles not detected by IR/UV sensors? You get no warning?

Because it is implemented in the game in such a way that the jammer of MUSS (1.0) only works against SACLOS guided missiles.
I don’t know whether this is also the case in reality. The manufacturer’s website only mentions wire-guided and there is an article that also mentions laser-guided atgms and laser ranger finders, but the author may have confused the effects of Smoke and Jammer.
And there are rumours that Shtora, the Russian system that is 10 to 20 years older, could even jam Ukrainian beam riding missiles, and logically a more modern system like MUSS should be able to do the same. But because none of this has been confirmed or substantiated by enough sources, it has only been implemented as it is currently available in the game. Because there are enough sources for the effectiveness against wire-guided atgms without IRCCM
Same experience with Vilkas here, I’ve gotten a few lucky direct hit kills with in the past, but I’d say it happened 1 in 10 missiles fired. The missile either goes for the breach or optic and deals zero damage to the crew.
At this point they should just give us manual TV guidance for them even if it was for 1 missile to at least make it count.
They wont probably advertise MUSS specs cause of reasons. But a modern APS just for wire guided ATGMs is a bit pointless. Not alot in use anymore.
Especially ingame, where you won’t encounter any wire guided ATGM at this BR anymore.
on the contrary most atgm’s are still wire guided due to its cheap costs wich makes them more easy to see in other countries and stuff such as IRCM resistant atgms or beam riding atgm’s have been rising slowly recently but still most atgms are still wire guided

The Spike at it’s state to be worth of the 0.7 shoud receive it’s ability to loft and control like a drone. 0.7 it’s too much for a FAF missile that doens’t even hit most of the time.
