LWS doesnt pickup mi-24 laser

[karambiatos]

Basically what the title says, the LWS doesnt pickup the mi-24s laser, but it picksup the mi-28s even though they fire the same missile.

Does the Mi-24 carry a laser? Both the AT-2 and AT-6 are radio guided.

[karambiatos]

you are correct, but has does the gun also not have a laser? since the mi-28 gives you a laser warning thats the strange thing, and they use the same missile in the game.

Mi-28 doesn't use the same missile as the Mi-24.

 

But I agree that the elevate precision of the Mi-24 and BMP-2 cannon, both without laser ranging devices, is way too hight.

[Dudikoff]

The Mi-28 uses AT-9 (improved AT-6 from the Mi-24V and later variants) which is still radio command guided. It's hard to find details of the guidance improvements made here and if the laser is actually employed throughout the engagement.

 

Did you check which missile is actually used by the Mi-28 in game when engaging you as supposedly it can also use some other missiles (9K118 and a variant of Vikhr are mentioned on wiki; not reliable data, but still)?

but the bmp-2 gives you a laser warning when its about to shoot you with its missile.

the game says AT-6 shturm for both helicopters, and also for some reason while mi-24 engages you from 6 or 7 km the mi-28 engages you from 1,500m like the ka-50 manual suggests, but i guess this is a DCS world problem.

Both helicopters can fire the same missile but the Mi-24 doesn't have a laser.

BMP-2 has a laser for range finding.

 

It doesn't mean the missile is guided by laser if you get the warning. It's for range finding to see if you are in range for engagement.

Well i guess you learn something new every day.

 

But then why does the BMP-2 only show up on the LWS when its about to shoot you with a missile, as well.

That's when he needs to know your range to know if he has a firing solution.

makes sense.
