ok, so i have the ah6m and i got 5k GE recently. Right now, i am at 9.3 ground, my highest being imo chaparral, and i’m researching the m3 bradley. (i have a premium lineup.) i also got the AH6M, only 1 module 80% researched. do i shell out 390k RP for the OH58D? it has IRCM, which is a big thing for me. I really really don’t want to grind ANOTHER helicopter since if i’m shelling out 390k rp, that could go towards my ground line and get me the m3a3 and other higher tier vehicles. is it worth it? i’m convincing myself it isn’t but deep down i want it.
#Should I grind the OH58D and spade most of it with GE, or spend my GE on the AH6M

It was I think like 4k GE to just get the hellfires and isn't really worth it to spend on heli's. The AH-6M is objectively worse but if you don't really care about heli's I'd just stick with the little bird.

laser warning, IRCM, all aspect missiles that ignore flares, and stock hellfires, im for sure going for the oh58d
but it bothers me that 390k rp is t going for ground, i could really use it but idc.

Well if your ground isn't high enough yet maybe do that first then the heli
and whilst you do the heli you'll at least have the littlebird to put in the lineup then

I don't think the IRCM does much
If it's like the Mi-24 thing vs missiles it doesn't do much
Unless it's like the US MIM-72
IDK if it acts like this but it affects a few things not even that many as any SAM like type 81 and maybe strela and I know stingers don't care about that on the hinds

If it's like the Mi-24 thing vs missiles it doesn't do much
can you elaborate?
are you saying it’s not useful
just wondering i hope i don’t come off as rude or anything
idle depot
If the OH-58 IRCM is like the Mi-24 it's not useful
idle depot
That I am not sure
wet needle
are you saying ircm is weak?
idle depot
Reason I am using the hinds IRCM
wet needle
is it strong?
idle depot
As only SAM that affects that I have is the US MIM-72
solemn gorge
Yes some are better than others but also you don't need to be as close as an mi24 because you have better atgms and more range
wet needle
so in short the ircm is effective on the oh58d?
idle depot
As i said if it's like the hinds it only affects 1 SAM that I know off and that's US SAM and vs IR missiles most people just shoot you anyway
wet needle
so what if an ozelot or strela fired
would ircm scramble the lock/missile?
it works against aircraft, correct?
idle depot
Stingers like ozelot no it won't do a thing
Strela with its new mode also ignores flares and I have shot down Mi-24s with there IRCM with it 0 issues
And Israel MIM-72 and type 81 for Japan has IRCCM like stingers so they don't care either
idle depot
Just helps vs shrapnel but doesn't do much if anything
As some bombers have them and still die easy
wet needle
i see, thank you
solemn gorge
It will work against anything that isn't japanese or a strela with that new mode it will make it harder for them to lock you and if you stay back further to use the range then it will help
It basically decreases the range at which IR SAM's will be able to lock you

Isn't it legit just like the hinds IRCM though
