Speed is not the advantage you think it is for lobbing.
I didn’t bring it up, because I didn’t feel like making a light novel about bomb lobbing, and I still don’t want to. So I’ll leave it with this: The higher the arch, the less potential obstacles to get in-between the munition.
Bomb lobbying from the deck is riddled with nuance and entirely reliant on environmental factors that there is no clean way to talk about it.
Take a week or two and think about the physics behind bomb lobbing.
And rocket-assist is an entirely other factor that I guarantee no one talking on this subject has researched enough to come to any conclusion on. The ones that are researching it are waiting for tomorrow’s update so they can continue researching the subject matter.
Thanks for proving my point. The kh38 doesn’t need to be lobbed as it lofts at an extreme angle.
Good luck surviving and defending when a fictional missile (KH-38MT) approaches you at mach jesus from who knows where

It has to come from above, which means they put themselves in danger of SLAMRAAM and SLM.

Just played 1 game and 3 su30 and 3 su34 spawned and my team got evaporated by KH38
So they killed your crew before they even boarded the planes.
SLAMRAAM is pure garbage, wasn’t worth the grind

its much better than the spyder/cs5 spaa
Dog poo is better than flaming dog poo. Amazing.
So what’s the deal, is this thing less effective now with new AAs in place ?
to them its only unfair if it was launched from soviet jets
maybe you should use a maverick before you compare it to 38mt
so is there anything equal to maverick on soviet counterpart for 10.3? no.
name one ir/tv agm on soviet that is under 11.0
i can name one ir/tv agm on american/german side even under the br 10.3
you have AGM62 walleye on A4E Skyhawk that is 9.7
then you have LB 82 which is on Hunter F.58 that is also 9.7
then you have 2 other Skyhawk that for some reason get a lower BR which is 9.3 even though it both can carry GBU-8
on the other hand first IR/TV AGM on soviet is 11.0 which is on Su-17M4
and on chinese it is a bit earlier which is 10.3
AGM-62 and GBU-8 are both unpowered guided bombs, the AGM-62 designation is misleading
doesnt matter that much since players will just lock it, lob it and turn away long before any SPAA at that tier can do anything
you said
but count unpowered guided bombs for western aircraft? seems a bit biased
