Major Update "Line of Contact" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

Yes, at this point they could just add the KD88As or the longer range export version.

Nevertheless it will not come even come close to the KH38MT. It’s way too slow.

The MT should have been removed a long time ago and been replaced with the IR version of the KH29 because of a lack of evidence for it’s existence.

But no… Now we have to look forward to copy paste slop

One would hope they could model some aspect of terrain following (if it’s possible idk) since that would massively bridge the gap

Ah ok, was it added in todays update? Only saw the non IR version so far

No, its was added at the same time as the others

You’re just looking for things to whine about.
The Paveway 4 is perfectly capable of 12km+ spawn nuking, if you don’t want to play it that way then sure, but it’s possible and viable.

Sure they need to add 6 FnF brimstones, but Britain has no shortage of good CAS, while china gets what, jdams and some ancient russian missiles

all in data mine, C-704 family, KD-88 family, IR GB3, all not in dev server just models in datamine

Gaijin could implement new mechanics for the KD-88. I remind you that it has a cruise missile base with GNSS and IOG. The missile can very well navigate terrain, go behind mountains, even bypass a target to strike it from behind, but this isn’t possible in-game. So yes, the KH 38 is faster and kills faster, but the KD-88 has a lower altitude capability and is more discreet

The KD 88 has the same principle as the Stormshadow; you can define a path for it to follow before hitting the target

And in addition to that, it is controllable in the terminal phase to change targets at the last moment

maybe at lower BRs but at top tier its highly debatable but im clearly not getting anywhere with you so lets just agree to disagree

Yeah SNIPER ATP was being used on some F-15C’s as a makeshift IRST before they started using the LEGION IRST pod.

There’s no reports up for SNIPER’s air to air mode but I did actually make one for LITENING which I’d imagine would be very similar in function. [DEV] LITENING TGP Missing Air-Air functionality

The problem is that Gaijin might not implement all these mechanics for the KD-88, and in the end, it will be less effective than the KH 38, whereas the KD-88 is far superior to the KH 38

Looks like Russia might be getting an aircraft this update afterall.

also apparently the model of the Su30SM2 is in the files not really sure what is upgraded on it over the SM

That’s honestly good to hear since the Su-30MKK didn’t get Kh-38. If J-10C gets KD-88 this could still give the necessary capability to China.

Wow lmao, who would’ve seen that coming…
Can’t ever close the gap with good old russia

Better engines, missiles and avionics? (Maybe)

Just imagine that in-game with the KD-88, it’s way too strong; the KD-88 will be nerfed without this mechanic.

Okay, this is a C-802AKG, but it does the same thing as the KD-88

Thanks, interesting read!

yeah AL-41F1S engines which still get TVC and the Irbis-E radar which I think is an actual AESA radar and not PESA

It’s the Su-35s radar, still a PESA unfortunately, but about as good of a PESA as you can make

Essentially a 2 seater Su-35 with canards and lacking MAW
