Radar Missiles can hit helis only if they move forward or backwards.
Chaff + moving sideways is almost impossible to die to radar missiles in a heli.

That’s not quite how it works. In-game, if a heli with LDIRCM is literally hovering at 20km altitude, no missile can hit it unless it’s SACLOS. If it worked in real life like it does in the game, helis would be more useful than jets, and we wouldn’t see so many LDIRCM-equipped helis being shot down in Ukraine.
Oh boy, with Mi28NMs and the new Pantsir now paired together, I don’t even wanna see the state of 13.0 right now
I think Gaijin should start considering better SACLOS options for Western forces, dodging ARH missiles in helicopters is way too trivial and easy.

Are there actually any? Im pretty sure the current SACLOS imbalance is mainly because the west simply doesnt operate that stuff in the 21st century

Germany could get HFK-NV, it is a hypersonic missile faster than the new Pantsir’s missile, it should be compatible with the Roland family of SPAAs. Sadly, it never went anywhere, but it did exist and was trialed. Gaijin would have to conjure or make some fictional Roland SPAA for this missile.

Welp and theres the problem. Theres no world in which Gaijin will do that.

It would still be limited to only 4 missiles before (assuming very long) reload that would also need it’s own radar vehicle.
I don’t see you giving any better ideas lmao 😭
Because there might not be any ?
They could always return the Fictionwaffe programme and add a couple of things like they did before.

Or just add an air defense complex with both missile and gun batteries
Isn’t this missile IR guided?
It’s saclos guided which shifts over to IIR guidance when the missile comes in range to acquire the target by itself
If missile is forced into IIR then good luck with helicopters.
It’s so boring. I have the top Russia team , but the queue is too long and I can’t enter the game. LMAO. Half of the match are Russia vs Russia

Plus, NATO MBTs got their basket modeled now, too
NATO must suffer hard right now
realistically, IIR would fallback to INS or in case of HFK, SACLOS/ACLOS.
by the way, did i mention its a mach 7+ missile?
Can you tell me in which source from your topic this is said, if it doesn’t cause you much trouble? Because I couldn’t find semi-active → IR anywhere. Only saw proposed semi-active guidance without IR.
i am talking about a specific missile called the HFK-KV
if you read the suggestion, youll find the following:
