Why does the rah66 not have countermeasures?

R-77+R-73 means 13.3 instantly, don’t be so naive.

grand total of 4 missiles 🤣
why should it be the same br as faster Su-30s with 10 missiles and better RWR

Because it has insane acceleration, climb rate HMD plus HOBS missiles which is something that F4F ICE lacks for example.

If you think otherwise then it’s your opinion.

Is it?
To me that looks like a third party website, but that might perhaps be a secondary source.

Additionally, all of that document is “will in the future have” , that doesn’t mean it actually got it.

Third party website.

You need actual acceptable sources

Silly takes and also the first link is a gov website that clearly states it had countermeasures.

Those are the standards of Gaijin, not me.

No it isn’t? it’s a .org site.

It seems to be just a scientific organisation.

And then a private person collecting military information.

Where? I looked at it and did not see anywhere it explicitly stated that it absolutely has them.

(And i have to ask here, are you actually reading through the things you find or have you been asking AI to find sources and then just trusting the AI’s answer?)

Yep this PDF from the US government was put in the bug report I linked
It cites missing optional equipment

Pretty open and shut case imo

I think the biggest issue is the “(Some optional)” part, i don’t think it states what parts are optional and which ones are standard installed. It’s also part of the “planning” section of the document so doesn’t state what parts were actually installed later either.

But it was at least forwarded as a suggestion so the developers have the option to add them now if they want to.

(sidenote; it’s also a Monograph written by a Major at a School of Advanced Military Studies, so not really an “official document” in that sense perhaps)

This link right here is from dtic.mil. Not a blog. Official US document and describes countermeasures even if vague, further detail can be found in the numerous other links provided even though admittedly they are not from as official a source. They chose to add a heli that’s documents are still classified to a degree.

It properly cites sources of information and it includes who and where the information came from without further redaction or revision. This includes content that is unavailable to the public such as seminars on capabilities.
Compared to some other sources I’d rate this one high on the trustworthiness because of that citing and it’s from a Major with direct sign off from their COL and LTC.

There have been plenty of instances where tech was introduced to a vehicle “because it fits” there was a recent bug report that cited this. (although a bit chopped on the context)

It’s already a suggestion so I am not holding my breath. Gaijin plays by their own rules.

Is this another “USA can’t have tech because balance” thing? Yeah most likely. It’s a stealth heli.

Aircraft Survivability Equipment (some optional):
Low Observable Materials
AN/APR-39 A(V)1 Radar Warning Receiver
AN/APX-100(V)1 Identification Friend or Foe Transponder
AN/VDR-2 Laser Warning Receiver
**AN/ALQ-136 (V5)Radar Jammer **
AN/ALQ-144 (V3) Infrared Jammer
M-130 Chaff Dispenser
Infrared Suppression System
Radio Frequency Interferometer
MANPRINT Cockpit

Chaff/flare countermeasures AND radar and infrared jamming(IRCM)

It seems like it which is very upsetting.

i mean chaff is better than noting
but still no idea if it have jammers

I doubt a major in the military would be writing up a pdf discussing its jamming tech if it did not have jamming tech. IRCM at minimum.

The m130 chaff dispenser can also deploy flares.

Imagine if it got all of those weapons. That’d be sweet.
