Well thats both depressing, and a gaijin issue, because a boosted IIR varaint exists irl
no, it’s slow
or you can say KH-38 is special, the only one of this kind
Achieve the same effect ≠ perform identically
You have to go a bit faster and higher, if thats too difficult then go and play reserve

Almost like its, you know…
Flashbacks to that One Thread
Well, gaijin has binned our chance at getting good top tier CAS for now, ig the wait for Su-35 continues…
Unless they give the J-10C 12x gb3 IR
The KD-88 are more modern and efficient than the KH 38. The KH 38’s only advantage is speed, so in games you don’t see the difference, but in real life the KD-88 are superior to the KH 38

the only KH-38 equal I know is AGM-53A, a prototype missile for F-14 and A-6
then it inherently isnt the same, if you have to do more to get the same effect then it isnt the same lmao
the whole point is they are untouchable by sams as they are literally never seen on radar but i guess that is also the same effect right?
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 the Gripen E going off the unused text.
