Okay idk, then i was right anyway since the first A10 is 10.3…
what point? that the 65d built in seeker isnt terible?
I remember having to play night maps with a Mig-27K and not being able to see anything even at 3km. Yet this man is complaining about having 6 low resolution IR cameras strapped to his plane. Must be nice…
the one with 65ds is 10.7, the premium is lower br
Yes i know im not talking about the IR seeker, i mean how the US has incredibly strong cas and better weapons at lower battleratings, but that is all fine.
you know that the US didnt have any night capable guided CAS before the a10 was added right? and after that the next option was f14b
I dont think you understand how terrible mavs are above 11.3 or so
I do, but you can make them work.
yeah just like yall could make kh29 or kh38ML work
if anything those will still be better because they will kill if they do hit
A-4E gets great weapons too
The difference is those mavs are sitting on 2 pylons on good platforms and then you can still load other very nice ordonance.
You mean the update after Mig-27K was added, and 27K was incapable of night battles at the time.
Either way that doesn’t change the fact 38MT has not been proven cancelled or production.
We have evidence it exists, just not if it’s being used :)
Define “being used”
but you cant? most US cas has at most 4 pylons for ground ordnance even f15e only has 5
and when you bring 6 mavs normally the other two pylons can only bring 1 bomb each which is a much worse load than 6 kh38ml or hk29te and one large tv guided bomb
do we
if you have evidence you should post it because so far no evidence has been posted that confirms it ever progressed to the point of a functional prototype
We have evidence of a concept no evidence that it was actually made.
Well, that’s kinda the point
There’s no evidence on which planes can use it …
There would be nothing there if no orders were ever placed for it.
So the A7E with the lana flir navagation pod just didnt exist at 10.7. My imagination then. So while you cant launch guided munitions with it at least you could see. Which is more than what i could do in a night match in any Russian CAS until su-25T which came almost two years later.
We literally do not have evidence it existed.
