The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

except that would not attract as much attention as a still cheep fake that looks like a seeker

I mean… stealing something probably highly protected at an exhibition event would be a dumb idea, but I get your point.

and also even scorpion here cant even find any sources that is legit enough to prove that it actually exist to a functional level
if gaijin actually give their sources then we would rant about how its OP instead of debating if it even exist or not, like the T-95 that the RU army show case in 2000s

“what is that in your pocket”

“uhm totally not a missile seeker”

“well then have a nice day”

not even stealing it but easy to gather information, just makes sense to bring fakes

yeah, my initial point was that the first photo with the seeker looks very real in my opinion, the cables and everything, but of course we don’t know

Wombo Combo that and the BMP-2M.

Well, the fake model version could have the cables and stuff to make it look real, its impossible to really know from a glance.

Also, if it is a real seeker, then the issue becomes whether or not the seeker was actually functional and might have just been a rather early version that barely worked.

What is really need is proof that the seeker+missile was actually fitted to an aircraft and ideally fired.

Weird, I think they just havent updated the EN page then, cuz thats the old page you can find on archived versions pf the website and KTRV.ru

lol don’t get me started. picture this: ka-52 and mi-28 cannot carry r-73 in game because… gaijin thinks russia can’t make the two work together. even though they are shown on the expos.

but one piece of paper is enough to add the mysterious all powerful KH38MT :P

Loadouts are always a balancing decision. Which is why things like the Typhoon and Tornado dont have their ASRAAMs.

Ive been told a bug report is the incorrect avenue to take for this. Ill leave this open a few more days to give the ppl who believe its real to provide more info and then I’ll take it to Smin in PM’s to ask how to go forward with this info.

please, think of me a little higher. I would be content if the addition was rejected due to balance. the problem is they denied this addition because of the reason I spoke of above

yeah, thats true

i would imagine that the seeker would be functional, they already have some experience with the older versions like the kh29

well that one might be hard or impossible to find, especially since the kh38 family look very similar from distance

The report above is just forwarded as a suggestion. Like many loadouts, this isnt a surprise, especially when its about adding IRCCM missiles to one of the stronger helis.

Its the missing loadout options like the 540lb retarded bombs on most british aircraft that are a year+ old that annoy me the most. But this off-topic now

Perhaps. but given the inherrent imbalance that exists at top tier currently and how strict they are for everyone else. I think the assumption should be made that it doesnt exist until someone finds the necessary sources to confirm it did exist. and the KH-38MLs arent going anywhere

A bit off topic but would you guys be fine with the Kh-38mt staying if the Eurofighters get to carry 12 of the equally obscure air-to-ground ASRAAM?

That is kinda the ultimate outcome of this thread. if a mockup of the KH-38MT is enough, then can everyone else get mock-up weapons

LMFAO no. You got that backwards bubba. They are ~1 secondfaster IRL.
