kh59 would be TOO OP considering they are 100 - 280 km range missile with man in loop (bassically one can go cold and guide in missile like predator missile in COD). yes its subsonic and is limited to TV but still, until we get multi vehicle SAM, no. kh59mk2 also has IIR iirc
I doubt these will have man in the loop functionality in game, they’ll work like normal anti ship and TV guided weapons.
They aren’t adding “man in loop” control any time soon.
probably true for this as well but only if you want to utilise MITL feature.
otherwise its just a Kh-29T or TE in practice

No its way slower, subsonic, so would be spotted and shot down easily, and tv seeker wont be able to pick up anything at long range so you have all the time in the world to move away and cause the missile to just hit the ground. (Basically a very large, slightly slower agm-65B, unless Gaijin change their minds and add man in the loop guidance to the game)

They will probably force the use of the pod like on the bucaneer
Again there is no proof Kh-59 can hit a moving target. In fire and forget mode
No proof of MmW Radar seeker and TV mode works off inertial guidance and then TV mode.
which implies it needs further inputs.
I mean it has the tubus-2 seeker from the kh-29t apparently
So…

Btw on the su17. Can you discern which pylons are the pod and missile mounted on?
I meant which pylon of the su17 is the missile apprently mounted on
Do you mean the pylon number? Or type?
TV one has the seeker from the Kh-29T and if that’s the case it’ll have that functionality in game
Can the Kh-29 hit a moving target?
Yes it can in game but we are talking real life performance?
You know in terms of TV seekers in Russian service are to fly the missile to a certain target area.
It does not state if it can track a Leopard or tank moving at 40kph…
Terminal TV Command Guidance (ergo MITL)
so basically AGM-65A/B
Sure if you put it that way. It is a cruise missile however and that’s actually the factor* that Gaijin won’t add it, not MITL lol
*Easier grinding, why Grom-1 got removed
Yes number
I mean it IS an anti ship missile so it does have some degree of tracking capability. I’m game it only starts tracking at like 3km anyway so
