KH-38 needs to be nerfed or removed. GRB is unplayable

are you really claiming to get kills with GBU 39 dropped 30km out and acting like that is something other than pure luck, that is literally multiple minutes of flight time, even mavs from 15km out is around a minute of flight time

also doing that invalidates the use of GBU 39 as chaff because they will be so much further behind the mavs that you can tell which is which on your radar

Well with that title it was impossible to find.

this is becoming more and more pointless
Im gonna go back and play some 4.7 matches

Just had another match where a KH-38 spammer ruined it for all. Well not for him I guess, he was top scorer, flew 2 sorties. Its unbelievable. Its worse than the Vikhr crisis back then.

thats just how top tier is rn, hopefuly gaijin does something but I doubt it given their track record of nerfing op russian stuff

That’s what the + is for. The + is IF the glide bombs hit any spawn campers.

6 is for the 6 AGM-65s that won’t get intercepted cause the glide bombs are inbound instead.

Time to 8000 meters is 40 seconds, turning at mach 1? 20 seconds at most.
Launch weapons, accelerate. 330 - 400m/s over 10km is 26 seconds.
AGM-65s off at 1 minute 40 - 2 minutes, RTB at 2 minutes.

Keep implying that F-15s and Rafale are Russian…
There are zero Soviet vehicles in War Thunder more OP than other vehicles. Su-34 is as OP as everything else, and that fact will remain until SPAA is added that can counter F-15E, Su-34, and Rafale.

Idk, its worse that ever. It never has been that crazy. Back then we had Ka-50 with Vikhr, which was able to shot from outside SPAA range (back then). But at least it was one by one laser guidance and the chopper had to climb a bit for good battlefield view.

But nowadays Ru just spawn at the right spot at altitude and can immeadetly start to spot for targets. Ground maps are small, from the airspawn you can perfectly scan the whole map with thermal targeting pods. You’ll see everyone and bit later 6x Kh-38 are on the way. The time window to get it going is really short. There’s no exposure time to enemy countermeasures.

do you really consider AGM65 to have a 100% kill rate? At the range you claim to launch from you would be lucky to have a 50% hit rate, and they only have a 50-60% kill rate if they hit an mbt

so very simple and somewhat optimistic math says 2 kills.
maybe dont make stuff up when it is that easy to confirm as false

Never. Mavericks are unreliable and chances to survive a hit are a thing.

Compare that to KH-38 impact crater, nothing survives. Even spash damage is lethal. You can’t seriously compare both.

All of these except airfield spawn, it will make aircraft less predictable to spot, but I get you don’t want pilots spotting people right away either, it’s a tradeoff, but I’m no sure how it could help once a plane is airborne.

Straight up removing scouting SP reduction is not a good idea, just make it so that it takes more than just 2 scouts and assist to spawn CAS.

CAS in this game needs to be treated like a killstreak, something you can only spawn because you earned it.

Same match screenshots.
These situations are as common as Su-34s doing it that I don’t screenshot these.
The only reason I did was cause earlier that day someone was once again complaining only about Kh-38s cause of their addiction with Kh-38s.
I can’t remember if my team won, but was a notable engagement when someone’s post was praising the Kh-38 as god’s weapon.

It already is like that now, but the barrier to earn it is way to low,

I mostly suggested that because it will help immensely with nerfing CAS at lower BRs, but I can see how it might be a worse option at top tier.

again all cas talk that does not take into account that multi vehicle sam systems are coming.

I think you yourself mentioned this before but maybe it was someone else, but I really liked the idea of itemized SP cost that they mentioned.
Like each IR AGM would have a individual SP cost and it’d be higher based on the amount of AGM

Hot take, have the Brimstone be IR FnF and make SP cost itemized. You could take like 4 or so for the current sp cost for 18 and make it like 2400sp to carry full 12-18 brimstone lol. Because I think that’d be hilarious and balanced for you to need almost a nuke’s worth of sp to spawn a Eurofighter with full brimstone

no it will make more cancer for tank rb

IIRC they said they were “looking into it” or something like that, but I hope it is

pretty sure i saw a full confirmation on it, maybe from smin

Did you read the rest of my post?
I think it would be quite balanced to spawn that loadout for the cost of a nuke TBH

it is pointless then. they can just nuke.

Really? i’ll look for it, multi vehicle SPAA are something I’ve been looking forward to for a while
