Then it shouldn’t have been added in the first place unless gaijin has some document stating otherwise.

If the only proof is a mockup and a brochure from a decade ago, its not enough.
Where’s the actual evidence of it ever having been even mounted on wing pylons or used in a operational state by any aircraft.
IMO remove it. Theres no evidence I can find anywhere that it exists or was ever used.

Surely Gaijin can back themselves up with their proof

Sure, but sometimes devs see the half full glass and sometimes the half empty glass depending on what they want

Unfortunately, this is true they cherry-pick what they want to add, making them hypocrites on many things.

What would be the replacement then?
Kh-29TDs are good enough I assume? (Though they are inferior to the Hammer in more than one way)

No, because the X-38MT is a real missile.

I don’t know what you are trying to say with this document, please provide explanations together with your posts.
I’m assuming you are trying to say that it can angle and therefore isn’t centered?
But that wouldn’t make sense as the thing at the top we see (according to you) would be the inner ring, and why would the seeker not be “centered” in the inner ring (aligned with the center point of the sphere the gimbal rotates around)?

So ive been looking for pictures of russian laser guided seeker heads and i couldnt find a good close up picture of the Kh29Ls (this would be the closest predecesor) but i did manage to find a pretty high def close up of Kh25ML here which looks really pretty. Apart from the fence-mesh on the glass the inside of the seeker looks very similar to the provided picture:
both the Kh25ML and the unknown Kh38ME look extremely similar and ill leave it up to people here to decide if the circular part aiming upwards is a laser seeker head (that would be my armchair general opinion) or if its a gyroscope

Thank you, thats a much better photo. Yes I now agree that top section is part of the gryo.

Well, I said right away that this is part of a hyposcope, and the seeker is tilted down

Apologies, but it simply was not clearly visible. Per your new photo you are ofcourse correct.
