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

@Alpharius11348
Pantsir missiles are also among the easiest to dodge.
Which make the Gripens with AGM-65Gs rather potent.
The only reason F-15s need the glide-bomb strat for getting within Pantsir missile range is cause they’re twin-engine F-104Ss in flight performance.

On top of all that, how is mach 1.4 slow?

you cant drop GBU 39 at mach 1.4, you are stuck bellow mach

do you understand how bad an f15e with ordinance’s turning circle is at 8km+ at sub mach

have you heard anything called SEAD?

You drop the glide bombs at 28 - 30km. If you can’t accelerate to mach 1.4 in 8000 meters that’s… something. Bring less fuel.

@Team_404_nyto SEAD lets the enemy SPAA spawn back in a tank to help their team win.
One dead SPAA is 2 alive MBTs.

first, not everyone spawn SPAA at first so there “maybe” 2 alive MBTs
second, with no SPAA, whos gonna stop CAS to destory that 2 alived MBTs? the force?

The only way to frag CAS at top BR is bringing a fighter aircraft.

and this is why you are bad at playing CAS, why are you ever over 20ish km away from the battle field, even when I am climbing to try get altitude I find it relatively safe if there isnt air up to be 15-18km out

Good to know you consider getting 6+ frags a 3ish minute sortie in CAS bad.
It means I can ignore all your posts since you somehow think 12 frags in one sortie of CAS is possible.

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.
