But it does matter because GRB doesn’t just have ground vehicles. They also have planes and hey guess what, the already stupidly OP Kh-38 is getting a range buff to what? 70km. So lets let the already OP missile and its throwers sit further back, where more than half the SPAAs won’t be able to reach. Hope this update is coming with a line of code that never lets Russia get France or Italy on their team. Because they no one will be able to stop the Kh-38 spam.

“Kh-38 — missile dynamics have been adjusted, maximum launch range at low altitudes and average speed during flight have reduced, the maximum flight range has been increased to 70 km.” Read the first part of the changelog again

yep yep kh38 might be the best missile rn, but it will get nerfed a bit I think. and if its like any other fox3 its not harder to dodge than the IR guided irist…
Not counting on Gaijin nerfing their beloved Kh-38. They’ll slaughter some NATO vehicle with nerfs though. That’s tradition.

well they said they will lower the speed of the missile on lower altitudes so its easier to intercept…
uhhhh, like they slaughtered russian toptier jets? Or how A4Es and A7s sling fnf weapons while the soviets barely get ballistic computers? How the A7K with 5 FnF TV weapons gets a thermal pod while the soviet counterpart (Base Su27) gets the worst targeting cam in the game? Or how the soviet air tree in general gets thermal as soon as 12.7 in ground rb, on a fucking Su25? Yes the KH38 is better but its all the soviets get over nato.
Well, the Su-25T could get a thermal imager.
yeah but it doesnt, it gets an quivalent pod to the Mig27K. The only thermals are KH38T cam, Su25sm with horrificly bad gimbal and Su30, all well above 12.0, the highest ground br
70km and 40km is equally good in the current environment? It’s not like you’ll ever need to hit things 40km away

No. Russia didnt even need it.

eh i think it needed it since pantsir isnt fnf and all the new systems are meaning a pantsir is in some situations (planes hugging the ground) worse than a stinger launcher
and planes hugging the ground will be the new meta with the new sams so there you have it
I don’t think so. I remember this being discussed in the leaks discord, and I translated a document mentioning it was being tested.
This is from the “ANNUAL REPORT of the Open Joint Stock Company “V.V. Tikhomirov Scientific Research Institute of Instrument Engineering” for the 2005 financial year.” It was originally posted on their website, but later taken down. I still have the file, and you can download it from the website via an archive.
But I can’t find anything for the 9M317MAE or MA, just the A.
^I don’t think the “MA” designation exists, I can only find MAE or A, with only the A being tested on the BukM1-2

It is an ARH missile
Pantsir is not competitive anymore. The problem isn’t with Russia receiving a strong SPAA is that gaijin purposefully give weak SPAA to other nations

Japan tan sam can, and it was released last update and no one cares that it can
Probably because its a broken mess. You can’t use ARH missiles with Maddog mode and the IR missiles barely lock past 10km. Not to mention you are forced to bring either ARH or IR since if you bring both, you will be stuck in a reloading loop.
really tired of this misconception
you shouldn’t look at max range as how far you can hit something, but as the likelihood of a hit at 20-40% of that range
edit: and PLA guy immediately repeats it… lmao
It doesn’t matter. 70km or 40km it’s all already enough for the game.
