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
NGL it makes me hopeful we can get the AAM-4 TDR, the extremely obscure ramjet powered AAM-4 .(Which did actually have a successful test, so it’s actually somewhat fair to get anyways.)
mm, thanks. somehow this suggestion zipped past me. to clear things up, I was somewhat quoting a russian game master columbus_13. he wrote a lot of things against the addition of r73 to helicopters on the russian forum. but yes, enough off topic shenanigans
All sources ive seen referring to Kh-38M use during thd conflict explicitly mention the Kh-38ML being the variant used, and/or state the targets are stationnary bridges.
The news articles do mention the MT as an option of the missile, but its always been in a paragraph explaining the missile and basicly just regurgitating the info from the brochures.
From what you’re saying, it sounds like thats what he’s referring as “evidence”. I’d love to actually be able to discuss those sources directly so as to not sound like I’m bending the info in my favour, but I understand the rules and wont.
If mods check a source and confirm it to actually have info confirming the use of the Kh-38MT that cant be posted on the forums, would it be possible to PM it to me for me to double check?
the US could get the AGM-53, which is basically a Kh-38 with TV guidance that was actually tested (although much older so idk about tracking capabilities)
