The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

Quick stats update:

Out of nearly 1000 votes, 83% have said to remove it. that’s 789 (789.33 if you want decimals) people.
That leaves 17% and only 162 (161.67 if you want decimals) people who want it to stay.

Out of nearly 1000 votes and nearly 2000 posts in only 4 days, the general consensus (as far as I understand, and i’ve spent way too much time reading all this) is that there’s not enough evidence for the Kh-38MT to remain in-game.

This is just information that I’ve gathered from this Thread, so if you want to argue with me, just re-read everything in this thread and you have my answer.

Edit: More people voted, now I need to redo my math T-T

gaijin didnt give it IR yet

2112

*There’s no evidence it saw actual use or existed in a finished form, technically, we have seen evidence that components of it existed, which gaijin might argue for keeping it in game, as contrary to their current guidelines for implementation as it would be.

perhaps limit it to 2 or 4 would be better
not 6

2114

because the Kh-29TD isn’t IR at all, don’t confuse it with the Kh-29D

2115

Well not really. Many CAS players cried about the Adats, and 2S6, now look where we are. CAS is still the most dominant form on the battlefield

2116

so many contradiction tho

2117

yeah thats another problem
CAS play would cry if they get kill by spaa
and again ive said to Alvis before is that stat need to change for gaijin to put new spaa

2118

Its because the KH-29TD in game is named wrong, its a KH-29TE.

2119

That would be even worse as now you reintroduce the number imbalance from when the F16C with 6 AGM65D’s was the ruler with only 2 Kh-29TD’s under the MiG-29SMT 9-19 to compete, just at a lesser scale

2120

yeah but 65D is way worse than 38MT in everyway
the hit rate is less out of 6 you get like 2-3 kills and at further range its almost useless

2121

But, as was said by mods several hundreds of posts above, for a weapon to get into the game, it must have been successfully mounted and fired from the aircraft.

That’s all i’m gonna say.

2122

As far as i know the Kh-29TD is correctly named, with the Kh-29TE being the export variant which fits it’s presence under the Su-25TM (Su-39) and that one chinese plane that has the TE’s

2123

Isn’t the seeker copy paste from the 65D/G?

2124

The track ranges are the same but the mavericks doesnt have ins

2126

I don’t see how the INS is such a gamechanger, in my experience at least the Kh-38MT hasn’t really been the miracle weapon many claim it to be

the eurofighter typhoon dosent even have F&F rn at least yall get some F&F

2128

What would you even add? gaijin has said they don’t want to implement radar guided AGM’s which is not cool, i agree but then what would you add to give the EF2K a F&F capability?

2129

My mistake.
