Yes early on we did because the Lancet as effective as it is was a new weapon system. It caught the other side off guard but now they have adapted. With simple nets/cope cages or interceptors
Also explains why you were able to hit me as I was flying away, yet the LDIRCM should’ve stopped it.
Bugged models… yay!

Also kinda explains why Mi-28NMs can sometimes die to IR JAGMs…

Well now we know thats the way to dodge incoming missiles, fly down with your side towards the missile

aside from the fact that they don’t have a well equipped airforce, which kind of counts mind you
Not as advanced vehicles and equipment too. They are technologically quite far behind what the rest of EU possesses
The little modern western equipment that was sent is doing quite well though, notably artillery pieces and long range bombs (JDAM, AASM) and cruise missiles (Storm S / SCALP)
I will give you they (ukr) adapted really really well, quite a stellar job considering the odds
Doesn’t really matter who has the best nukes
at the end it’s just a wasteland on both sides, and even considering it is the wildest thing i’ve read in a good while
Where the shit did this nukes talk come from?

So pretty much, Mi-28NM DIRCM coverage is over performing big time, and AH-64E/Z-10 are under performing. Why am I not surprised lol
Since 2021, Russia has been using unfair aircraft weapons against other teams.

12km’s 9M127; MIG27K+KH25; 12*KH38 VS ADATS VT1 and now LMUR
The Russian team has been constantly pushing the boundaries of other teams.
If the gaijin think these things are truly balanced, then why haven’t they been seen in the War Thunder competition?
correct
not rlly. they might be over performing since theyre probably a full sphere rn rather than 2 disconnected hemispheres

Oh, so the AH-64E and Z-10 are the second picture with the whole sphere. I thought it was the picture with the sphere cut in two.
Whole sphere is probably correct though if you look at it from some distance since the DIRCM ‘eye’ is not flat on the wing tip. Two disconnected hemisphere would imply the eye is flat like paper and cannot see above the ‘horizon’ of the wing tip so to speak, which isn’t the case.
tbf that is most likely the case
In terms of the ever so slight “height” of the Laser emitter from the base of its gimball, it would ever so slightly extend over the horison however the way that it is positioned on the wing tip would block its view for a considerable distance. and above that distance, the self defense sensors cannot detect, or if they can, the laser cannot function according to design (intensity fall-off with atmospheric conditions etc)
so yeah the ideal implementation should be the 2 disconnected hemispheres
and that is a standard we should maintain…
otherwise… when the Su-57M is added… it will be immune to ALL IR missiles…
That’s not how it works though. You can see the DIRCM bubble from the front:
marked them in red. Blue is only correct if you stand below the rotor just in front of othe heli. Take some distance and both DIRCM will see you from full front approach.
i can also see the laser emiter and it will at most be able to gimbal until 93° until the wingtip will block it
also by the same logic the Su-27 and Su-30 should have 90° gimbal on their IRST

90 is more likely as the base of the emitter (the rotating plate) is a solid which doesnt exactly bend down
It seems like the eye itself is mounted on a rotating steel block which would seem like the most logical way to mount it to get full coverage. I might be wrong in this assumption but it sure seems like it. Good luck finding info about it though considering its classified.
