So, for the past few days I’ve been playing some ground RB, and only these. Trying to grind to get both ending vehicles of the French tech tree.
Needless to say, it wasn’t pretty. Myself? Ho I could get some kills here and there, but I know that I’m not using the best headset for audio listening, nor do I have the best reflexes.
Nah, the real problem come from where you can be basicly be you and 4 others be killed in a matter of seconds by a SU-30 dropping his precious Kh-38MT right on you, and your side triple AAA can’t intercept them all, or also get destroyed by them.
Also created more rage and more bait -from the SU-30 pilots usually- that I’ve seen in years on this game.
It’s almost impressive how that missile made Hight tier ground RB one of the most toxic game mode to play.
Then again, I suppose Gaijin won’t do a single thing about it.
Still, who had the “bright” idea of making this a thing in the first place? It’s basicly target practice for the SU-30 with theses missiles, none of the others nations have any equivalent that can match that level of stupidly easy to use, coupled with such a good efficienty.
KH-38 volleys still hard to intercept. Maps still too small and make AA systems easy prey. Had a match on 38th parallel, theres simply no way to really move off the spawn in your AA truck. So any KH-38 spammer immeadelty sees you next to the spawn and volleys off all missiles. It just doesn’t work.
On larger maps its possible to move your SPAA to less obvious locations. So they need a bit to locate you. Thats a chance to kill the carrier plane.
Unfortnately almost all maps are very, very small with easy to predict SPAA locations.
This missile should not be able to lock tanks anyway. Seeker sensitivity and imager quality is too low, according to the brochure that was dug up at Zhughai airshow in China.
