Only one small correction… Ka-52 doesn’t have LDIRCM and is easly countered by IR SAMs
Yes, you’re right. My bad
ADATS is an anti air
Air Defence Anti Tank
and its pretty good at it in game.
Playing Ka-52 or Mi-28NM is super easy, because you have LDIRCM that counters IR AAs, notching is easy so you easily counter ARH AAs, and VT1 based SPAAs (ItO90/Flarakrad) are not that really good at intercepting multiple missiles at once.
Meanwhile playing AH-64E is hell, of course you have LDIRCM and you can notch so IR/ARH AAs don’t pose much of a threat, but there’s always your nemesis, a Pantsir. Tracking you through trees, intercepting all your JAGMs and killing you in the end. New one will be even better at it, as it has much faster missiles. If you spawn at the closer helipad which is around 4-5km from the main battlefield area, you will have only 2.5-3 seconds to hide.
lets not act like AH-64Es are somehow not just as cancer as the Mi-28.
they can take off, spam 16 JAGMs, land, take off, shoot more and repeat.
Also the Ka-52 has to mantain lock, meaning that they too dont have much time to react. they just… arent even close to the others mentioned here.
Last night i had a match where i had a single AH-64E spamming JAGMs. im in the CS/SA5 and i could not do ANYTHING. missiles are IR, so LDIRCM defeats them, there was a mountain in the way, and he spammed so many JAGMs he killed every SPAA we had by just making everyone run out of ammo. even a Pantsir cant defeat 16 JAGMs, LMURs, BA-11s or whatever else if they’re being spammed at the sheer speed that people do in this game.

Yeah but Pantsir doesnt fight Mi28NM so thats a problem.Forgetting that such aircrafts/helis are universally just purest form of cancer no matter the nation…thats something people like to forget when it comes to every nation other than Russia… everything in the game is broken and doesnt work properly…AH64 should stall its engines if hellfires are fired from the inside pylons, doesnt happen, 28NM shouldnt even have 8 LMURs, wont get fixed…what both of them will certainly do is make a match a living hell for anyone on the ground that gets the honor of getting targeted by one of these cancers. But somehow only the russian one is the problem

fire and forget missiles for helis should be limited to 8 on the Apaches and Z-10ME. things like the Eurocopter or A-129D are already limited to 8 Spikes or PARS/TRIGAT. Mi-28 could go down to 4 LMURs since it has other advantages.
In no way should they be allowed to fire 16 fire and forget missiles in rapid succession. either they give us the capabilities require to intercept 16 reliably, or we shouldnt have them.
furthermore, LDIRCM should only be able to intercept one missile at the time. not every single missile going for it.

Absolutely! AH64 doesnt even carry all 16 of them like EVER…yet none bats an eye about that, its not Russian so it doesnt matter.
As everything in this game, LDIRCM is also 101% not represented as it actually works and is some botched god knows what thing Gaijin thinks thats how it should be… but that all is never gonna happen for reasons I mentioned earlier about having the shiny new toys

Because they never add trash stuff to Russia, Whereas a glorified F-16, M18 Booker, the F/A-18E or the day one Golden Eagle were NOT good at all, even compared to US current vehicles.
eh i mean… Mig-29SMT was pretty stinky.
Su-27SM too, Su-30SM was alright, just lacked engine power.
russian air is generally just… alright to meh with some gems here and there.

what they lack in power they make up for it in terms of air to ground ordinance
Man, bug off.
ALL of that was at least from 2+ years, Gaijin has been thoroughly babysitting Russia, to a point where an update focused on the hornet introduction to the game was vastly overshadowed by? You guessed it, the Su-30.
And don’t get me started on last update.

doesn’t change what i said.
Gaijin changes who they prefer. its all about money.
when i first started it was F-4J dominance. then Mig-23, then F-14, then F-16, F-15, then Su-30, now Su-30SM, though its close between it and the MKM.
Eurofighters are still solid, Rafale is a 15km death zone.
Regarding the F-18, its far from horrible. it suffers from problems because of it’s IRL design. i wouldnt say it was overshadowed by the Su-30, considering how iconic it is.

That’s the problem, the F18 suffers from its irl design but when russian top tier vehicles would suffer the same fate Gaijin does a little bit of magic
the F-18s engines are currently producing more thrust than IRL. Some planes in game have around 200 kgf less than IRL. gaijin claims its due to channel loss. one plane is the Mig-23.
The F-18 engines are producing 200 kgf each MORE than they’re supposed to.

Every plane suffers from channel loss in this game.
Pretty sure that was dev only and got fixed before they hit live.
Also sadly the F18s dont get fake missiles, fake missile racks and fake radar performance to bring them up to the competition

Hey j15 also gets that fake stuff now so it’s not just Russia at least
Thats the upcoming one, right? Man it would be funny if that one didnt get the fake stuff.

Fake missiles and radar performance? Racks, yep though not fake just not mounted on the SM2 at least for now
