Thoughts on this addition to the Russian Helicopters

I hope they add this tech to every other Helicopter too.

  • Yes, add it to every capable Helicopter.
  • No, remove it from the game if its solely meant to Russian Helis.

Also watch the video till the end to understand that this addition is OP, SPYDER and Elde…etc can’t kill the Helicopter equipped with “DIRCM BAND” mechanic

Add it to every heli that has it.

Model doppler return for ARH missiles against helis

Make the new DIRCM mechanic target one missile at a time (meaning it can still be overloaded)

I hope they don’t add it exclusively to Russia solely to counter the new SAMs since this new DIRCM mechanic can counter almost every new SPAA.

Crazy how Russia’s the first nation to get new stuff, when spall liners were added Russia got them first untill the community demanded it get added to the 2A7,B+,Challengers…etc

Hasnt this mechanic been in the game for like 2 years, so I wouldnt say its to counter the new AA

Did you watch the whole video?

Also its a new mechanic, maybe you’re talking about IRCCM which can’t counter Spikes like DIRCM band.

it’s not new at all, it was present on the Ka-52 for years, they just added it to the Mi-28NM

I can find people complaining specifically about the DIRCM on the mi28nm and ka52 for like the last two years

real shame it’s not present on the Ka-50, Ka-29 and Mi-8AMTSh (not sure if the AMTSh-VN has one)

i think the mi28nm and ka52 are the only two helicopters in game that have the system entirely built in and not as additional pods

The Ka-52 has it in two underbelly balls, so did the Ka-50

They added new IR bands affected though

Issue is, it should only work on one (or 2 if it gets 2 pods) missile(s) at once, and IIR should most likely not be affected

12

Ka52 was getting killed by Spikes, also i’ve seen x-ray of it it doesn’t show any DIRCM BAND mechanic only IRCM.

13

just not the ka50 we have in game

14

gaijin probably implemented it lazily, as just an extra strong IRCM, hence why it works on multiple targets at once

15

yes, really sad the modeled the Ka-50 off of yellow 24 or 26 and gave us literally the saddest version

So we can call it a buff now? exlusively to Russian helicopters, because if you watch the video no new SAM can hit the MI28.

17

you say sad I say, the only reason I would want something like that on the ka50 is if it means the thing will go up to 12.0 and leave me alone playing 10.7, especially if it has indeed been buffed this update as it seems

18

I never said it wasnt, I just said not new, its also probably the only reason the ka52 and mi28nm are 12.0

now we have to start asking why the ah64D and other things like it are 12.0 too

19

This is an extremely one sided mechanic and it should honestly be delayed and reworked

i say sad because they could’ve added either yellow 25 with the DIRCM in the TT or yellow 18 the Ka-50Sh with it’s thermals in the TT
