The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

Use grok.ai, much more nuanced and objective in my experience. If you really have to use an AI to gather info.

I’m just saying, it’s better than ChatGPT. And I don’t use AI to gather info BUT I have used it occasionally to FIND sources, if I don’t really know where to start looking.

Resorting to AI🙏🙏🙏


AI is easy to manipulate to say whatever you want

genuine question
How so?
Is it because you can change targets mid launch?

Cause it can launch from 30km and guide from that distance, while the Kh-38MT uses a copy-paste AGM-64D sensor in-game so it’s limited to around 14km tracking range.


By the by, anyone claiming I have a photo of Kh-38MT is lying with malicious intent.
I have no photo, I’ve never had a photo, and I’ve never in my life claimed to have a photo.

Interesting

couldnt you theoretically launch it from even further away with IOG?
(similar to the Brimstone?)

Now, that only makes the missile itself more OP, it doesn’t necessarily make the situation “amazing”, as ground RB is dynamic.

Probably, it’s hard to do testing of laser munitions for me either due to skill issue on my end or the 30km game-restriction just hating me.

Thats the thing with the laser changes, now everyone can target from 30km out (TGP and render settings permitting) in practice theres only a few weapons that can actually capitalise.

The missiles current version probably should be removed/reworked so it would be more balanced

I wounder If they changed the seeker to more like (part 1. picture where the missile only locks on around 6-8km and uses IOG to get closer)https://forum-en-cdn.warthunder.com/original/4X/f/a/7/fa717af516d18b4ff473da2647aaca5eae83029b.jpeg
Would that be enaugh for the missile to be more balanced.

probably wouldnt change much because closing from 15km to 6-8km only takes it a couple of seconds

they really just shouldnt have added it

I agreee. the missiles speed is also in my oppinion the main issue, since when playing AA you will die before your missile hits the plane even if you launched before the plane.

But like the Hammer IR that have the “Wonky” seeker that sometimes fails to lock further away would this make that the missile would miss more. TBH that is a horrible way to balance since its more luck than skill but we need atleast something since currect situation is horrible.

when it’s set up correctly, it will really work, but right now it’s a pathetic sight.

I stopped trusting ChatGpt when it told me the Rafale has a mecanically scanned array radar

my point

“In light of the recent removal of the Kh-38MT, we have decided to introduce the Kh-38MA and increase Su-30SM engine thrust by 10000kgf”

But yeah, you “won’t” [It’ll be almost exclusively if not exclusively renders] find AGM-65Ds on AV-8B+ cause the Marines don’t use IR guided weapons anymore., or even F-18E tho I haven’t looked for images of F-18E yet.
It’s all laser.

At some stage you have to trust manufacturers of the missiles themselves, and the fire control system manuals of aircraft.

So what’s the conclusion, kh38mt does exist, but never used?
