While this does give some insider infos, I find this to be very ragebaity (the German discord can attest to what happened yesterday lol).
« Yet, they are going to ignore them ».
Unless the leaker is a dev, which I would doubt, as he probably get his infos from TM or devs without being one itself I would guess, this is just « copium ». Yes, they haven’t actionned any report yet, but update is still a week away basically. Things can change.
This leak was mainly here to create some drama imo
As the Kh-38MT is getting GNSS guidance on top of the IR seeker intercepting the SAMs won’t even be necessary.
Both the Su-30 and Su-34 can just outspam the SAMs from ranges where they are still almost untouchable.
If that is true, why even add new SAMs to begin with. (H)ARMs would render these already extremely vulnerable vehicles unplayable.
Well, it is what it is :)
At 12.0 the MiG-23ML(A/D) would still fight 11.0s tho?
Also, their 11.7 BR is completely fine from my experience.
Right. It’s s good thing I prefer 10.3 over the top tier circus anyways lol
GNSS doesn’t do anything significant on the 38MT.

It will not be that bad, you will have to only manage 3 vehicles on a very limited space were the enemy ground forces are incapable of shooting you, while dodging and intercepting incoming munition and planes. It will be fine
Was it already possible to point launch them at near max range? If so, I guess it was pointless of me to bring it up
And it’s not like GNSS for IR seeker was still completely useless/broken. Only the laser variants might have a use for it, but as you said, KH38 is probably not going to have to capitalize on that. The missile is already so fast the carrier doesn’t have to stay in the open long enough to be threatened.
And I don’t think the average KH38 slinger has the skill to use the laser variant in such a way that they’d make use of the GNSS

Yes, it is ML that gains the most of it.

Sounds like a right proper good time :)
Trust me, it is annoying enough to manage 1 vehicle on some maps. But, 3? And even bigger? Its going to be so fun.

I guess so.
Launching beyond TRACK lock range wasn’t an issue for IR AGMs even before this update.

Mate, I fricken love having to look for spots where my SAM can actually engage aircraft, but also doesn’t instantly get sniped by some MBT across the map.
Maps like Advance to Rhine and Sweden are even more fun :)))
Fair

They will ruin GRB just like they did with ARB, where newer content just becomes unplayable as the maps and core gameplay features don’t get upgraded as well.

What you mean? CQC maps with unprotected spawn areas are great for MBTs!
Similarly maps surrounded by mountains and lots of natural cover and maps with high buildings everywhere are obviously optimal for SPAAs/SAMs!
And don’t even get me started on how amazing the ARB maps and mechanics that were designed for WW2 planes and early jets are for modern aircraft.

Depending on who you ask, this has already happened many moons ago.
