Yes, the talk was about AH-1F. I apologize for the misprint.
As for the AN/ALQ-144 - as far as I know this is the very infrared jammer. So this is still in-game EW of 3. Also I would be grateful for the link to your sources.

An EW value of 3 is an EW value of 3. That is one that is one more than 2, and one less than 4. It is
nothing to do with a specific type of electronic warfare system. It cannot be - as the game has
no concept of infrared, radar, laser optical or whatever in terms of AAA warfare.
The
only specific usage of specific EW values are when they are used as magic numbers for non-ew purposes for non AAA units. There, 1-2 is VIRSS and 3-4 is anti-ATGM CIWS.
So "EW" is just a magic number, more being better. And the USA/NATO tends to have better EW numbers than the Soviet ones.
