This can only be some kind of joke. With the recent change, cost multipliers were introduced according to the type of guided weapon used, such as TV-guided or electro-optical bombs and missiles. In principle, this is acceptable, as it serves to limit CAS.
The problem is that all guided weapons that are clearly inferior to the KH-38MT now have an equal or even higher cost. My complaint is not limited to the SPICE bomb, but includes all guided weapons. The SPICE, the AGM-65G, and other similar munitions have a cost comparable to the KH-38MT, despite having significantly inferior performance.
To perform CAS with these weapons when there is anti-air on the enemy team — especially now, with players using AA even without having it fully researched — it is necessary to play with extreme caution. Most of these weapons are slow, have no propulsion, and require approaching the target, which makes the aircraft highly vulnerable to systems such as IRIS-T and BUK. This situation was further worsened after the IRIS-T SLM improvement, whose infrared seeker range
In contrast, the KH-38MT allows the player to fire all munitions right at the beginning of the match, return to base to rearm, and still eliminate a large portion of ground targets. It is the fastest and most efficient CAS weapon in the game, costing only 946 points, which is completely disproportionate when comp
It is clear that this system benefits almost exclusively the Russian side. In a properly balanced scenario, the KH-38MT should be the most expensive guided weapon in the game, not one of the cheapest among the most effective. Personally, I would much rather use 6 KH-38MT than 16 SPICE 250, which clearly demonstrates
This situation needs to be urgently reviewed. The current state of the game shows that it is becoming increasingly difficult to play against Russia, as many players choose that side precisely because of these advantages. Additionally, I took about 4 minutes to find a match while playing on the Russian side just to check the cost of the KH-38 bombs, which already highlights the impact of this imbalance on matc
