AGM 65 are also very strong but they are slower than a KH-38, from the time a Su-34 has released KH-38s. You have seconds before it hits what it is aiming at.
Being faster makes them harder to intercept and gives them a higher kill potential.
They also have a bigger warhead meaning front armour shots do not save you from a KH-38 whereas an AGM-65 will not always kill if it hits the front of a tank.
And then Su-34 has a 3000kg glide bomb too.
AGM-65 and KH-29 were pretty equally balanced…KH-38 is on a whole new level
And that effects the average tanker that has one dropping on his head how?
You blow up and its some how better if the weapon was flying for 2 min instead of 1.5?
You could argue that the Ka50 isn’t good anymore and I could see your point. Gimble limitation along with no thermals limits your gameplay but because how powerful the vikhrs are, it’s the same BR as the YAH-64.
With the Ka52 it gets rid of those limitations and improves it’s multi-role capabilities by a lot.
No real objections. There’s a reason top Apaches and Ka-52 are 12.0 and now lower.
It’s arguable that if F&F missiles are ever “buffed” that they can go up to 12.3+.
You can still see the missile if you see an F-15E or F-16 it is likely launched AGM-65.
AGM-65 are also completely defeated by smoke as the warhead is smaller and splash damage is lower so even if the IOG causes the missile to impact near you in the smoke it wont kill you.
KH-38 is bigger, faster and meaner and if it impacts near your tank it will either kill you or destroy every module and leave you with a 45 second time repair.
Platform - Su30: 3km altitude, going around 970km/h
Target: 20km
Time it takes to impact: 40s
agm-65d
Platform - F-15E: 3km altitude, going around 1200km/h
Target: 19.8km
Time it takes to impact: NA, the maverick does not reach the target, falls out of sky
Platform - F-15E: 7km altitude, going around mach 1.39
Target: 19.6km
Time it takes to impact: 58s
People really downplay the speed of the Kh-38 and the effects it has on the battlefield
Should’ve clarified, I’m saying that the Ka-52 is a much better helicopter than the Apache for GRB. Either the Ka52 gets moved up in br (maybe not the same br as FnF helis) or the Apache gets lowered in BR.
Having them at the same BR is just unfair.
Ground Assault is a different story. I would choose the apache over the ka52
AGM-65s would be much better if gaijin didn’t gimp their speed for what ever reason. Its been bug reported AGM-65 Maverick likely incorrect flight performance // Gaijin.net // Issues but never implemented and probably will never be cause gaijin just ignores most bug reports. I feel bad for people who put in a lot of time for bug reports for 90% of them to get ignored for years.
ADATS should have TWS like Pantsir it was designed to track threats while locking a target.
It can still only guide one missile but it would allow ADATS greater situational awareness.
Isn’t that one of the main reasons we dont have Heli PVP anymore? It was before I started getting heavily into helis but in terms of heli v heli PVP in GRB or any mode with PVP the US heli’s dont have much to use against the KA-50/52 series helis. Not to say we cant get a few here and there but overall they will win the fight at least 8/10 times. We can use our hellfires but unfortunately that wont work if you have vikhrs coming your way just from the speed and flight difference between the two. Not to even mention getting up close in a gun fight with it if you managed because they have arguably one if not best cannons for helis in this game. Stupid accurate and deadly compared to the m230E or m197 on the US side. One of the reasons I laugh when I see people claiming the US helis are better in GRB or that they are on par with each other. That’s a negative and the only mode I’ve found the US helis to be better is heli PVE but that is about it. The apache shits on KA-50/52 in there it’s not even funny or fair if I’m honest.
Exactly Gaijin wont model the top attack or the direct attack mode for Hellfires which means the small explosive mass will not destroy tanks and for helis the missile is so slow compared to the Vikhrs then we have Stinger vs IGLA.
