The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

They’re gen 3 thermals in-game iirc…

Why? No clue, apparently russia was putting 3rd gen thermal optics on one-time use missiles instead of their ground vehicles I guess /s

Last I tested it i looked like a gen2 thermal.

according to datamines, kh38 resolution was buffed

I mean can you find unclassed tech from 2023 from any nation? Not really. There is a reason for that. Operational security

I tried to give a fair and logical path to proving it’s existence through proving it’s an inert missile and not a mockup, but no conclusive evidence has been shown. I’ve given the benefit of the doubt but now unless there is conclusive evidence it is not a mockup, I think the Kh-38MT doesn’t exist as shown in WT

The dude posted flase verifiably propaganda. Why should I trust anything else from him?

I most have missed those data mines. Last I checked the 38MT was last week.

Yeah I doubt a nation fielding thermals only 300 more meters effective than Leopard 2A5 thermals on their T90M by their own accounts will spend the money to fire and destory gen 3 thermals on a missile.

tbf irl gen =/= resolution theoretically there could be gen 1 thermals with better resolution than gen 3

unfortunately in game thermals are designated solely by generation without taking resolution into account so you get weird situations like this

The seeker head. (If it actually exists in use) is VASTLY over preforming.

I agree that its over preforming

It’ll be some “engine limitation/code issue” bs, just watch

it isnt, devs know the issue using stated generation for thermal resolution causes but decided its worth it over trying to find resolution for all systems that would need to be added

They’ll find a way to make up some reason to leave as-is lol

I mean tbf I wouldn’t mind a KH29 or something with Ir. Just something so RU doesn’t have nothing but again I haven’t been fully convinced they don’t exist. Rather they seem to be in small numbers

They still have TV guided munitions

Idk how people dont realize that the current kh29 is already better than mavs despite being tv guided instead of ir

Don’t think the KH-38MT should be completely removed instead just remove the KH-38s from the Su-30SM
