Soviet spaa's like the shilka should get apds like the gepard

I’ve always wondered why the gepard got apds but other spaa’s especially the Soviet ones didn’t get apds even if they got it irl

Wikipedia, with even saying that it’s wrong/not trusted…

Where should I search for accurate information

Not only is it Wikipedia but there isn’t even a source cited, someone just added it without having a proper source for the information.

You can use Wikipedia as a base start when looking for information, but always double check (and then use) the source they got their information from. I’ve had several times where the source never mentions what they say it does…

Additionally, Gaijin has requirements of what is accepted as a valid source:

I have got some kind of information from a quick search in chat gpt and crome. I have 2 sources
1.An expiremental that saw very limited service I don’t have much information other than the one in wiki
2.Mesko 23×152b apds round. It seems that it entered service in 2008 with the polish armed services but it was never used by the Russians or Soviets so I don’t think they would add that but there is a slim chance
Technically the shilka can fire this round as this is a modernized round for the zsu-23

Don’t use chat gpt as a source

Poland is not ingame anyways. Maybe one day, when we have polish ground unit trees ingame, it can be considered for pl SPAAs. Shilkas in russian army use never used apds as official service loadout.

So why did you release KH-38 missiles when no sources or proof ?

I have zero connection to development and no insight into it either, Game Masters handle in-game chat and name bans.

We’ve also seen it deployed in recent times so the “No sources” bit is a lil silly. Only one that’s missing information is the IR seeker.

Off topic. But TLDR; the seeker is the whole point of that specific missile (KH-38T), other variants of the missile provably exist and i think even flight data exists for the main body. It’s just the seekers existence that is questioned by many.

Was what I was getting at, mate didn’t specify the seeker just the family, of which we know members exist. But it be off topic, aye.
