I don’t see it being modeled, for anything to do with LDIRCM, maybe normal DIRCM sure.
that is a term gaijin made up all DIRCMs use lasers otherwise it would only be IRCM
DIRCM = Directed Infrared Countermeasure
that is another issue in itself

That’s not entirely true, some DIRCMs are not as advanced as the newer ones seen on Mi-28NM. I’ll have to dig it back up.
The way they are immune to dazzling directed IR laser CM systems is that they have the main seeker behind a moving lens which moves hundres of times a second in auch a way that a small seeker is allowed to scan a much wider and taller area than the total width and height of the seeker.
The technology used in this system also allows it to keep track of the main IR target by ignoring flares and lasers. Immunity to lasers is done by the seeker zooming out and keeping the overall IR source in the ‘crosshair’.
Unfortunately during this method of guidance, only chase mode is possible. Not intercept mode.
As far as helicopters go. Chase mode is more than capable enough. IRIS-T is proven to have this immunity to lasers via primary source documents from its producers.
And LFK_NG is a variant of IRIS-T with a slightly smaller and less capable seeker in the sense of having less HOBS angle capability.
Also the documents about the DLIRCM you have shared are known and they themselves claim to only be effective against 3rd generation ir missiles.
Not to mention they do not have a 360° fov and protection.
Afaik personally, Mi28NM should only have protection from its system if the missile is within the FOV of the APS. Which is only under the belly.
Hence any missile coming from the front, or above the belly of the aircraft will not be affected.
The Z-10ME has 2 dazzlers, 1 each on the wingtips. But there is a small area on between the field of coverage of the APS that cannot be defended.
Gaijin needs to model that.
Not to mention that these systems can pnly jam 1 missile at a time.
Due to the laser dazzler needing to look directly at the missile. Hence the Mi-28NM should only be able to decoy 1 missile at a time if it is coming from below it.
And the Z-10 ME should only be able to decoy 2 missiles at a time of they are not in the APS blind spot

the seeker will still be able to guide the missile unless destroyed/ heavily damaged which takes
“high power during long time” meaning that the IRIS-T especially can just circumvent it becuase the laser wont be able to hit the same place on the seeker array for long meaning that the IRIS-T will only be affected minimally, by having slightly degraded tracking in chase mode like i explained above

These are sources Gaijin provided concerning IRIS-T and the LDIRCM on a bug report.
sure and?
was anything i said wrong with all the information you have seen?

Can the dev already fix the broken laser show on z10me and mi28nm
How is the Tiger UHT so far in this update? LMUR and JAGM have top down attack missiles, did they update the lofting profile of PARS?
Nope. Still same.
The Tiger does not deserve to be in top tier anymore with these new helicopters.

I guess nothing changed, couldn’t have expected less. Thanks for letting me know. 🥀
Hi Smin, what’s the current status regarding the use of the outer weapon pylons? The report was accepted two years ago, and nothing has happened. Compared to the other 13.0 helicopters, the UHT Tiger’s loadout is now quite questionable, especially since the Tiger doesn’t use the Mighty Mouse FFAR but rather the Thales Belgium FZ90. There are reports about this as well, but nothing has happened there either.

Even worse, the EC-665 Tiger HAC is at 13.0 as well
Bro doesn’t even have a cannon, bruh
Like 2 Months ago it was said that the outer pylons are back on the devs table for further researches (something like that)
How is that even worse?
The HAC is the slightly better UHT since the HAC has all the reports fixed which were reported for the UHT (weapon wise)
Example:
Outer pylon Rockets
Mistral as a Option along the ATAS

Seriously? I don’t usually like to make assumptions, but that sounds like a lame excuse. What’s there left to think about? The UHT isn’t really worth taking seriously on 13.0.
Sure, it has PARS and therefore a fire-and-forget weapon, but the performance with these missiles is bordering on frustrating.
Lately, I’ve even been more willing to launch with HOT-3 than with PARS, and that’s saying something. If we could at least get the outer pylons with the Thales Belgium FZ90s, then maybe we could try something like CAS.

No cannon means you’re dead when a jet/heli/missile comes at you
The only thing I can do is hide and, once he passes, dump every missile on him, even the PARS 3 . It’s the only way to make it out alive. Meanwhile, planes with DIRCM are hovering at 10km, basically immortal lol. It’s ridiculous that the BR difference is only 0.3… ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous.

Tiger UHT players are being humiliated in every possible way lately. It’s hardly a coincidence that IRIS-T players are also getting bullied whenever there’s a ‘‘Mi-28NM’’ on the field.
