Why it is capable of jamming an IIR missile is another question

Seems like it.

Not surpised in the slightest tbh.

strong lasers

24

IRCM on the Ka52 prevented my ADATS to keep a proper lock, so now with a new buff they’re going to be unstoppable considering that SPIKES were pretty easy way to deal with KA50s cancer.

25

not enough for that type of seeker

You’d need a hard kill laser for that to work

26

makes sense if it was IRST lock, probably a bug if not

27

no, IIR seekers take a contrasting image in IR, an IR laser from a DIRCM would still show up and are know to be effective against IIR missiles

28

64D has DIRCM too i think. Its this little pole near rotor

29

I’m flabbergasted seeing it effortlessly dodging every missile and even new SAMs, how is it this not OP i have no idea.

30

No, it is is regular strobe IRCM

that isnt a DIRCM, the ah64D dircm is basically a swap out on the wingtips

Time to add the AH64E with JAGM,Longbows and DIRCM.

It will show up so much in fact, that you can home on it, a bit like home-on-jam for ARH missiles

No they aren’t, in fact, i don’t even think both met each other IRL yet

it is OP, its also as far as I can tell the only reason the KA52 and to a lesser extent the mi28NM are 12.0 though, normal radar and saclos missiles still work and arent going away

35

We still need equivalent Helicopters to other nations, AH64D is rotting with Hellfires from the 80’s, they’re slow and old and i don’t even bother to spawn it anymore.

Also imagine spawning your new shiny SAM and you launch at a MI28,KA52 and your missiles don’t do anything to it, crazy huh?

and yet most sources I can find say they would be effective

that isnt how lasers or IIR works

yeah I dont understand how the ah64D is 12.0 when these things are, at least the spike helicopters finally went up last update but helicopters in general have very questionable balance

spike launchers could go up to 12.7, the ka52 and mi28nm to 12.3 and then leave the ah64D and its partners at 12.0, leaves room for an ah64e to go to 13.0 depending on how the agm114L and other loal munitions are added

Yeah but the dev server is still going so we can still only hope for them to do something about it.

39

BR changes and major updates rarely coincide, this will probably be ignored till the october BR changes

I was talking about the AH64E with new missiles to replace the AH64D, but yeah i got you.
