Something needs to be done about the KH-38ML

Was doing a match in the Adats an it was complete bs, I wasted so many missiles intercepting kh38s fired from an untouchable aircraft. And yeah I could’ve moved but the point is protecting the mostly static multi sam’s that can actually touch the aircraft

Yeah that’s why I said it’s not feasible. You realistically cannot reload. The game lets you but the situation where you can get the launcher inside a cap and not get blown up immediately is rare.

the kh38ml might lose gnss because of a recent bug report.

Nothing can touch a plane hiding behind solid cover and firing off their missiles that way.

That’s a different issue with how radar is modelled. In my case he would pop on radar for a very short amount of time but it was out of range. An slm could’ve shot him down in theory

Common thing with AAs that require LoS throughout the missile’s flight time.

ADATS isn’t really equipped for that and is placed lower in BR because of that.

Zero counters? SPAA exists as the counter.
On top of this, all 10 tech trees have GNSS weapons that allow them to fire behind mountains.
That is the only way to be semi-safe from top SPAA.

KH38 should never have been added as maps are just too small for such missiles.

the MT is also completley fake so shouldnt have ever been an option to be added

however i am glad that the russia mains are now gonna have hellfire rained down on them from the fake bias missile and taste what we dealt with for ages

Really? Can I see this report?

Did you even read the post? xD

Yes, which is why my post contains:

If SPAA is forcing tactics, it’s a counter.

None of which are missiles, which have a much, MUCH slower time to target and naturally have much less range as none can be dropped past Mach 1 anyway.

You don’t need 50km of range with this tactic.
You at most need 7km.

Never said you NEED range for this tactic, range helps in this situation because you can launch from much further away from more places of cover, the biggest factor is time to target, which no other weapon comes close to the KH-38ML

Also, the GROM is superior to the Kh-38ML in this tactic.

good, maybe it wont be so oppressive anymore. though im low k surprised since the export model has gnss

after reading it, all they have to do is to add the new version of kh 38ml. the old one never reached service even though its the one represented in game, the new one has gnss and the other stuff.

Genuinely how, a glide bomb vs a missile is not really much of a comparison

or just update the missile to the newer one? and keep gnss.
