The MI28NM problem

(repost because I deleted OG answer by accident.)

You made the effort to quote Armen Lozone, now do the effort to actually read the post you quoted. There’s this neat picture in it where he took the time to show the DIRCM area of the Mi-28NM:

The entire upper hemisphere area should not exist because there’s no DIRCM block pointing up so yes, the MI-28NM coverage is massively overperforming…
This is the only DIRCM block on the Mi-28NM:
shot 2025.11.04 07.27.54

Not only that but the new IRCM helis are countering AAs, not the inverse lol. Either the guy is biased as hell, or he doesn’t play top tier.

not lock range

seeker activation range

lock range is still whatever it was before

Not really sure, it definitely sounds like they are reducing the lock range. Or is yet again another RU Gaijin - lost in translation moment.

no it says so in the datamine as well

seeker activation range

I hate the internet, it lied to me again

The model is so broken even flying away with Ldircm facing the Irist in outlet testing he killed me.

That “bubble” isn’t accurate at all to say the least.

Let’s add in the fact that:

Z-10 out preforms the rest, but that and the Apache have the same sphere in game.

Wouldn’t flying away put the missile in the blindspot? Assuming it’s doing any lofting.
You’d need to almost notch and bank to get it in the bubble from a rear angle.

Isn’t having a good SPAA a good thing? Aren’t you complaining about the CAS? So whenever Russia has it, it isn’t good? And the Russian IFVs are just average for the BR they’re at. There are many other alternatives to the Kh-38 in other trees. And since you said:

You literally has provided a solution by yourself. You can literally use these to counter the helicopters. What excuse do you have to not use them?

There are no fake properties to Russian aircraft. And there are many similar aircraft in other trees. Russia isn’t the only one. So next update you’re gonna be complaining about the capabilities of the Z10, am I right?

RazerVon levels of dr*gs right there.
What are you on.

I’m already complaining.
The Z-10 and Apache Es LDIRCM is already over performing

They’re not supposed to be 360 force fields.
They can’t defend from IRIST, nor do they not have blind spots.

The missile was coming in under the tail, directly in the way of the LDIRCM.

You can ask @ItsOnyy hes the one that fired it lol

I should probably edit and upload that video to my YouTube but it might become outdated the moment the update goes live.

Could be funny to watch lolz

Plus, @Ghost_of_TelAviv took a vid too

Maybe give me an example. Russia aircraft are pretty mediocre right now.

LDIRCM is the only thing making helis usable. Without it, helis cannot compete with aircraft

Lmao if you call russian planes mediocre is because you dont have those planes or you never faced them.

There are a lot of videos of russian aircrafts dominating top tier. You can either watch it in YT or ask me to show you some replays (last match 3
su33
Su-30SM were giving my team a real hard time)

You cant compare the fast and destructive kh38 to the slow agm65 or bombs.

Also you cant ask for magic properties to make vehicles competitive, sure ldircm going to protect you from aim9m and such. But against 5th gen missiles its just unrealistic.

I’ve faces Russian planes while playing as china. And they’re not that bad. You can pull out exceptional cases for every plane. But that doesn’t automatically make it good. And I doubt you have proof that LDIRCM can’t protect against 5th gen missiles

The first thing here would be to establish what exactly you believe is implied to be the difference between Laser-DICRM, and Regular “DIRCM” systems.

Would you agree that a system that nominally defeats missiles by permanently damaging the seeker, would be better understood to be a Direct-Energy Weapon (DEW).

LDIRCM was made to counter IR missiles like manpads, not IIR missiles like aim9x.

What source you have that LDIRCM can fool IIR missiles? Cause even a simple google search tells you otherwise
