well you can technically integrate JASSM onto a Vietnam era B-52. doesnt mean it should come like that ingame
i mean just look at swiss hornets, israeli f-15i etc etc. because an airframe is compatible they can get it if gaijin deems it so
too bad they dont model it
for those 2 examples, there was nothing showing the necessary electronics were removed iirc. But for the UK AH-64E, there is no evidence that the necessary modifications were made

It has some, but I dont know it, maybe others do.
That is just gaijin made up thing, that should be changed, as CAMM has <1km min range (unspecified exactly), while in game the delay causes it to miss.

I see references to upgrading the Ah1 (ah64D but with British modifications) to the Ah 64E standard? But no specific mentions of special or unique modifications to it that would prevent the British Apache not being compatible with JGAM?
This article also talks about the Ah64 E in British service having JAGM but not Brimestone due to an unnessecary duplication of capability and the general state of the UK Military industry. However they have tested both on the Ah64 E so in WT we should get both JGAM and Brimestone in about 3 years time when the Brit TT gets its Ah64 E.

As far as I’m aware, JAGM is our planned main anti-tank weapon for the AH64E
Brimstone was trialed but was deemed pointless to integrate when JAGM was already integrated and offered similar performance
The British Apache should technically get:
- Hellfires
- JAGM
- Brimstone (as they were tested)

I’m aware of JAGM compatibility, I’m talking about CIRCM

It will almost certainly get JAGM
The real issue is going to be getting them to give it Brimstones
Given that AMASE pod is an option already utilised by the British Ah1, and that other export nations of the Ah64 E are actively purchasing AMASE with the DIRCM modules for their Ah 64Es , id be very surprised if the British AH64E wasnt designed with the capabillity to take the AMASE pod with DIRCM modules.
The Brits were part of the development of the system, but Id suggest waiting until we get an airshow picture of it mounted to a British Ah64E

It says Britain was involved in the development of its predecessor no?
We also make the pointer/tracker units for CIRM (in Edinburgh). The collaboration with Northrop on DIRCM solutions is an ongoing thing

Interesting, but doesn’t prove compatibility
Its an AH-64E
Pretending it is not compatible with weapons and systems that are compatible with the AH-64E is just silly and delusional

You seem to be jumping through a lot of hoops to deny Dircm for the British AH64E?
The helis are built to the US standard for their Ah64Es which have DIRCM pods, the British also buy CIRCM units from the US and have had the CMWS installed for the CIRCM to utilise.
AMASE pods are also seemingly interoperable between D and E versions, and those have DIRCM units as an option.

Then it can get AMASE. Buying CIRCM for other aircraft does not make them compatible on the UK’s AH-64E
CIRCM is a more recent upgrade to US Army AH-64E, there’s nothing showing the UK’s have it integrated from the factory
Was the US integrated from the factory
Do you think these Helicopters require a massive overhaul for a system that goes on the wing tips that was designed to take these kind of systems
The system is for the AH-64E
You are just arguing for the sake of making sure no one else gets DIRCM

JAGM like Brimstone can operate in a Hellfire compatibility mode, so they can be employed by any Hellfire compatible platform. Naturally like the ASRAAM analog mode, it limits the methods of delivery.
