Could the brimstones be changed as IR F&F?

That I found out may not necessarily mean it’s the real deal, but rather some placeholder mockup seeker made by the same company that makes the mockup missile body. The real seeker may not even look like the one in the model. This is because they did this very thing with at least one Kh-59 model they made, which had a fake seeker, which may look realistic otherwise. At least it was mentioned on the site, that this seeker was made by them for display. More info was in the Kh-38MT thread.

Kh-59 mockup seeker:

Spoiler


Though, I definitely don’t question Russia’s ability to make at least one IIR seeker for it. Personally it’s a probable weapon to exist, but given it has never really been seen anywhere outside of this display, it’s inclusion in-game is questionable.

But without any confirmation if its seeker would actually be good enough to engage smaller targets like tanks

point still stands, none of the agm84 will be good. The slam is launched first with GPS, then the ir seeker turns on at the end for the operator to confirm. We don’t have ir lock on before launch for all the agm84. And like you said, Gaijin doesn’t have lock on after launch modeled.

You mean exactly like AJ.168? An anti ship missile? Which autonomously tracks tanks in game?

Yes

its launched in gps first if its the ir seeker is out of range lock

So everyone benefits from it? Frankly I’d be upset to see all our (UK) prototype and adapted weapons removed from game for these reasons.

Either you want them all removed or you’re being bad faith and only want 38MT removed.

The IR seeker is always off on the rails. Doesn’t matter how far away the target is.

wel if thats the case then i can say american cas got nothing to add

Only the AGM-169. It can do everything the KH-38MT can do. Just was cancelled but still can be added to Gaijin with sources

Is there brochures for it? Want to see it tbh

It’s this one, it’s practically only useful as an anti-ship missile.

Yeah sorry i didnt know about the AJ.168 mounted in game on one singular plane in one tree. But yes i think removing weapons for which there is 0 evidence of them ever being used or how they actually function is a good move for a game that describes itself as “the most comprehensive free-to-play, cross-platform, MMO military game”.

its still radar guided no ?

Yes it has both, which is why I recommend to add only IR to be used on it.

It has a multi-modal seeker, SALH, IIR & MMW.

I would question the missile on the pylon (assuming you’re referring to the brochure).

The seeker head in the brochure

Is extremely similar to the mockup

Specifically around the opaqueness of the seeker head.

I’m firmly in the camp that it’s a mockup mounted to the plane (very common at trade shows) and not a real missile.

good then but what should you do about the others plane ? only adding it to f18E is not a big help

Ok here’s the bad news, no official brochures or information from lockheed martin. Which is why Gaijin probably hasn’t added this missile. It was cancelled tbh.

I may need to dig deeper to find better sources.
AGM-169 Joint Common Missile (JCM)
legit only two questionable pictures.

the picture is a mock up lol, you can even read the name of the variants that are training one
