Either its real or not there is no comparison.
And they still needed the entire Thai Airforce to have a somewhat decent sized tree.
Not broken as in it was nowhere near the strongest 8.0 plane and was not completely outclassing its competition.
I still can’t see any bias there.

and slowly they are being removed, recent one being the R2Y2’s
Ya the kh38 situation is incredibly dumb, i had to ask myself how out of touch they had to be to add them then they added the airfield default spawn and I got my answer.
Before that since I played I considered the f14 and US fox3 exclusivity to be one of the most egregious things to happen, kh38 was probably worse and giving them gnss this patch just cemented it more.
Rafale is up there too, but seems like if a minor nation gets something OP ppl seem to care about 1/10th as much.
I do still think people seriously overestimate t series tanks mostly due to the fact its shortcomings are not appearent to those who don’t play them, as you cant appreciate things like awful gun depression, reverse, and except for the 12.0 ones similarly bad gun handling if you are just on the recieving end.
I still feel in general for air US seems to be favored, for tanks germany/sweden, and for CAS russia. Pantsir situation was very weird as well, even with the awful radar bug that made it incredibly frustrating to play it was leagues ahead of the rest. And now we basically have the same situation again with the IRIST being on another level compared to the rest.
In retrospect the kh38 could have been given similar track ranges to AGMs when it was added and been relatively fine 8-10km. Pantsir could have been held off till we got the current spaa lineup sans IRIST and it would be competitive with them if its radar was not a buggy mess. SPAA should have been a priority more than it was, the CAS sitaution was out of hand as SPAA stagnated for almost 2 years while newer planes were being crammed into top tier.
Either way I dont think there is overwhelming bias for 1 nation in particular, but gaijin seems to drop the ball a lot and add something to 1 nation that is so much better than everything else it makes no sense.
Russian getting a borderline ground rb breaking A2G weapon with questionable existence for a 2010+ weapon that would never pass the standards for a community bug report while also being miles better than what everyone else has, is bias.

Good riddance.
No one ruled out removal of 38MT in a decade or so.

xDDD russia’s turn should come as well
Case of 122s perfectly showcased that.
It went under the radar while everyone was moaning about BVM.
Both have the same track range.

Is it not 18km when the rest are 8-12?
No, all get the same seeker that can reliably lock vehicles at around 13km.

And now the weapon is chronically balanced because SPAA is more powerful.

Gaijin always releases new stuff with new capabilities not fairly distributed among the trees so one country just gets a better toy until the others catch up (SLM, Pantsir, F14 etc. However whats different is that none of the Top capabilities of other tech tress were made up. The sources for the KH would be rejected in every community bug report so why did they add it especially without any feedback after the 8000+ reply thread closed. And for the Soyuz they had any possibiliy to release it in a balanced state since every metric of it is paper anyway but they deliberately chose not to.
So for me the true russian bias rn is not ERA or autoloaders but the standard by which things are added. No other tech tree gets the courtesy of having paper stuff be their top of the line
Awesome so they balanced a broken CAS situation (which did not need to happen) by adding a broken SPAA situation
Something being OP should be the main problem, not if it’s real or not.
That thread of around 7950 spam posts has been made months after the missile was added to the game.
Why should top of the line be different than mid tiers or something like that ? Paper is paper.
Seems like you’re finding argument just to keep your narrative going.
Japan had F-16AJ as their top of the line jet for years now, despite it being paper.
We are getting close to the point were we wont have any public info for much of what is going to be added I guess.
KH38MT is weird for sure though, the missile itself is real as we have proof/info on the laser guided versions, and they certainly have the capability to put an IR seeker on it, but from that thread it seemed like they might have scrapped/delayed whatever the IR version since its impossible to find photos of it being used or even official accounts etc.
Im sure the forums will be really fun when we start seeing more contemporary stuff being added, we are pretty much there.

The SPAA is not broken because the SPAA does not counter GPS guided munitions.
Granted, it does not need to because GPS guided launches are going to be less accurate, but CAS-SPAA is currently balanced at the top end.
Mockup was made in 2017 while in 2024 it was yet again offered and showcased in a brochure.
6-7 years looks like a lot of time to still promote something scrapped.

Something thats real but OP is bad implementation and needs to be fixed by adding peers. Something thats made up and OP is arbitrary. Its not a “this machine was just very good and we forgot to add a competitor” situation but a “we deliberately made this in a way so its better than everything else” situation. Mid tier is different, because A) its usually a gap filler B) Theyre usually old af. C) theyre not the best at what they do in the entire game
@Sternlos True the public sources will be a lot less in the future but Gaijin needs to be transparent about that. You cant on one hand add things on flimsy excuses and on the other hand smash away every bug report, because its not written by John Lockheed himself
The misbalance is not CAS vs SPAA the misbalance is SPAA vs SPAA. The SLM to every other SPAA is worse than what the Pantsir was to every SPAA before the update
Everything that’s OP should be fixed by adding peers.
They pretty much slapped 65D seeker on the 38ML and called it a day. Most of the missile’s characteristics are proven real.
F-16AJ was a gap filler and is top of the line. Things being old or not makes no difference at all and you could argue that new stuff should get more leniency as plenty of stuff might still be classified.
They could be the best at what they do in their BR range, which is all it matters.
But I guess Japan getting fictional top of the line vehicle is fine, it isn’t under RU so it gets a free pass.
