Here is proof KH38MTs are non-existent other than on paper

Well shit if that’s the case I have a “bridge to sell you” about IIR hellfires.

The issue is more so less peculiar favoritism, but more so about the lower bound of what could / should be added. especially when said additions are contentious and massively impact the meta and balancing factors.

The Mach 4+ Heat-Warhead, Ground attack ASRAAMs called the Typhoon are going to be really fun

I mean make a suggestion, i think it would have a decent chance of passing. Hell a very obscure early Italian air to air missile that was probably never mounted or tested was passed as a suggestion a while ago

Again make a suggestion, i think they have decent chance of being added if Gaijin wants to. The main problem here is balance decisions and that Gaijin leans heavy towards giving Russia the upper hand especially in cas, not the existence of certain parts of certain missiles, gaijin doesn’t give a damn about that and its clear imo.

nations dont get nerfed for no reason…

Just educate yourself on what vehicles they have. Russia is supposed to be mid, and it is

Run your own business and customers are due explanations when asked. Top tier isn’t playable let alone enjoyable thanks to the complete and utter ignorance towards balance. Ask anyone if they believe that it is balanced and 9 out of 10 will answer it isn’t. Spare me your criticism

They should get rid of the Yak-9K’s paper APHE while they’re at it

Neither did the flares on the F-5C
Or missile HMD on the A-10C and F-15E (year model depicted ingame)
Or the IRST of the Yak-141
Or the entiretey of the F-16AJ that is depicted ingame.
Or R-27; Sedjil on the F-14A.
And many more examples.

I said it last time and I repeat, there was a huge topic about this same subject that was closed by the moderators, which was correct, of the many people there, few were actually debating the existence of this missile, creating more topics about the same subject is not cool and I hope that some moderator closes it soon so as not to cause more discord since instead of a debate about the existence of the missile, people were just talking about things that were off topic.

Make a thread about it. I’m talking specifically about this one missile.

Agreed. It’s hard for people to keep things relevant since everyone has a laundry list of misgivings towards the game. Seems 99% of the threads are like this. “This (subject) is a problem.” “This is also a problem, and so is this this and that” /thread gets closed for relevance

And aslo i think not adding photos of the missile from Zhuhai airshow looks quite manipulative

I’m not aware of that, can you share photos?

While I appreciate the photos, the clarity is not enough to see the markings on the side, that could be a number of different variants or even dummy/inert missiles.

Plus note, there’s zero chance they would advertise a live missile at an airshow anyway

Well the missile definitely exists, now I can’t say about its IR version, and it seems that it was used for the first time (I won’t mention the conflict due to forum rules)

I believe the IR seeker is the issue, the missile itself is very real and has been used in combat in Syria as we as current conflicts in it’s SAL configuration. My best guess is that the KH-38 follows Russia’s usual doctrine of producing a modular missile and that while the IR seekers are available, nobody has thought that the advantages out way the extra costs.

I have no doubt the KH38 platform exists I just don’t believe the MT version does at least for now. I hope said conflict ends sooner than later :(

Yes, it exists and has been used a few times. There may even be an IR version that may or may not be used due to costs, etc., like the R27EA, which exists but there are few photos and will not be used. Most likely, the most widely used versions will be the GLONASS-guided versions for strategic targets or laser-guided versions to destroy armored vehicles or ships, as used by the KA52 and the Su34. Regarding the conflict, I prefer to refrain from giving my opinion and not expressing my geopolitical side here on the forum.
