Yeah, because IT IS a mini and very fast cruise missile, the seeker is only there to track the right target it was intended to hit, specially in GPS denied area, and that’s why the seeker quality and sensitivity is awful to begin with, it doesn’t need a 3rd gen IIR seeker to see it is going to hit an electrical station. Which would just be a bright blob in the seeker FoV of the real Kh-38MT.
Well funny that you put it like that, because russia is recieving an actual self-propelled cruise missile in the form of Kh-59M next update, further increasing the gap between capabilities
Lol yeah, where is AGM-84 anyway? Oh no it’s too advanced guys ;(((( - Gaijin
Never mind the fact that AGM-84 is just a Maverick with extra range, and it’s just as slow.
The only real advantage is GNSS.
Not the point, it’s an additional weapon class that is Russia exclusive
Let’s add the storm shadow, but make its terminal guidance camera act like the kh-38MT one. Flawless plan plus the storm shadow actually exists. I’d go for a 200km IR missile.
This is a joke btw
Gaijin should’ve denied Kh-38MT on the basis that they don’t want to implement LOAL, they just took the Kh-29TE seeker, made it 3rd gen IR and gave it an insane lock range and bypassed their own rules by doing so.
See guys? It’s fair because they can see and lock the target before launching :)
Storm shadow and AGM-84 will be denied on that basis, they are “too advanced” and “we don’t want to give players LOAL” but did so when they made up Kh-38MT stats to bypass their own rules.

They denied the Israeli 200km GNSS only missile (which is a modified MLRS rocket btw) because it was ‘too long range’ recently, but oh well, a jet powered cruise missile with a guided TV seeker is perfectly fine.
According to gaijin, we don’t have long range missiles in the game xD
The proposed seeker in question by the way, so people can see what was intended
Plug those numbers into your tool of choice and you’ll see just how much it’s over performing right now.
Spoiler alert - it’s around 5km max which means it is not intended for tracking moving targets at range and is incapable of doing so.
The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced I’m right and it’s only intended purpose is a terminal guidance camera.

Agreed but only if we get Taurus with the same seeker functionality. I really want to shoot tanks playin on maginot line with my plane being on Fulda gap

For a Mach 2.2 at sea level missile, 1370 km/h at range sure seems to throw a spanner in the works
Not following what you mean
It is a terminal guidance camera at the end of the day, Gaijin needs to nerf the resolution and lock range to 5km for ground targets, nobody would miss this missile since LMUR exists now anyway, and that’s what’ve been trying to say.
There are some people here who say they abuse Russian vehicles, but when I check their stats, it’s my eyes that are abused by so many bad statistics, rsrs. Good stats, man.

Personal stats are irrelevant, what matter is vehicle capabilities and made up equipment that’s giving people a massive advantage, regardless of personal skill.
They definitely aren’t. If someone says their vehicle is very powerful, and I check their stats and they’re not doing well with that vehicle, then I find it strange, and at that moment I remember my favorite word from this game: “SKILL ISSUE”.
When the point goes above your head, individual player performance is not relevant, you can give a monkey their hands on the best top tier Russian equipment, and they’ll perform well, why is that? Oh, yeah because the vehicles they are given are hand held, forgives even the most basic mistakes and are easy to play.
Is it really that hard to grasp? Do you not think that Kh-38, IRCM and LMUR combo is completely blowing the balance needle to one nation only and creating a toxic meta where nobody wants to play anything else?
It’s a simple matter of either nerfing or removing Kh-38MT, fix the fake IRCM implementation on all helis and fix other nation’s FnF AGMs for helicopters, and you’ll see WR across all nations even out.

I don’t think so, it’s simply not unbalanced, it’s a matter of skill. I was the first to reply to this topic. Everyone received helicopters with indestructible FnF missiles for IR missiles, and in the next patch more helicopters without DIRCM will come, so what is there to complain about? And now everyone has good SPAAs to combat the Kh-38.
Do you not think Kh-38MT is overperforming or IRCM or LMUR to an extent? While everyone else has nothing to even remotely equal? What are you on? Specially Kh-38MT
Nobody should have to be told top play one nation if they want to enjoy the game in the slightest.

No comrade, people with excellent stats in OP vehicles are clearly just superior players, no imbalance to see here da
