It’s really not that bad as all it would do is add a single other option for the most part for the presets.
They would much more readily overpressure the “light” armor target set due to hard limit on HEAT’s over-pressure penetration of 20~30mm RHAe. and also against AI targets in air modes be significantly more useful due to the larger explosive radius.
I mean I’m not suggesting that more Flechette rockets get added like the Multi-dart that is already implemented on the French Jaguar.
Flechette APKWS would probably be pretty effective against helicopters though
I hope the IR seeker APKWS that was just revealed goes into service but hey, if KH38MTs are fine, I don’t see why they can’t add them now
tbf its more real than kh-38MT in another form (LOGIR):
And was tested:

imagine if they add that without artificial limitations, planes carrying over a hundred ir guided heat missiles
also the laser guided zunis would be good in game even if I dont think they entered service they were at least tested

But it was real. There are a bunch of written sources confirming it, the only thing missing per Gaijin standard is, coincidentally, a picture of a complete vehicle. Without a picture of a whole complete vehicle they are not going to accept it’s existence.
It was just an example of what happened. Not that it never existed nor that it did not meet relevant criteria, only that Gaijin became unsure so omitted it from an update. Which could of course be overturned should sufficient evidence be presented, and they actually get around to it.
For example I have the following, photos.
These are in order;
A prototype coupler to permit the mounting of the WGU-10/B (the AGM-65D’s IIR seeker )to a Walleye (?-II ?) body. The F/A-18 could certainly use improved A2G ordnance, it can after all mount Walleye(s) so why not this prototype?
An A-4B airframe (potentially in a non-standard special test configuration) with a test configured Walleye I mounted to it.
An A-4E with a Walleye II mounted on the Centerline station (not possible in game).
An A-4E was tested with the AN/AWW-13 Datalink pod, so could receive Post-Release guidance capable ordnance should they be added in future, alongside the F-4E, A-6E A-7E, F-111F, F/A-18 , F-14A(AGM-53A) and others.
Evidence confirming that the there was a datalink control panel installed in select A-4’s confirming that the above would have full Post-Release guidance capabilities as an option.
Of course I haven’t actually submitted the reports at this point in time (some are partially written) since the A-4E sits at ~8.7-9.0 and it really doesn’t need 12km+ thermal targeting ordnance at all.
I could go on for the AIM-95 and select other items like VTAS III (“AN/AVG-8B”) but it’s practically more of the same and using fairly weak links, that are at least stronger than the evidence presented in this threat so far as to the -38MT actually having a flying prototype / breadboarded seeker or limited production run or better.
You do realise how incredibly problematic that would be, right?
He is talking about archive documents which were never digitalized (I think)
If we accept for an argument, that Gaijin is basing their stats on sekrit documents, then we can never change or correct weapon stats that Gaijin has set as their sekrit documents prove otherwise.
The issues would go far beyond the performance of vehicles in game. That level of access would prove close ties to the Russian government and would have…. significant consequences.
Just to be clear - I really don’t think it’s the case at all. I just wanted to point out that basing arguments on the “perhaps they have secret Russian documents” argument isn’t a great one.
I suspect they were looking for an IR weapon for the Russians, saw the the brochure and mockup and just didn’t do their due diligence on it.
Could we also replace “may not” with “doesn’t”? I mean it’s pretty clear by now.
its funny thats how it works for the soviets lol
i agrre that gaijin should show us the documents they used for modeling stuff, even if it is done by requesting it
so they dont have to publish all their documents but ppl can send a message to a Technical Moderator and he will forward the documents they used to you
They could also share source code while they’re at it.
they dont need to do that, that one is already leaked and in hands od people
That’s the same as sharing classified information.
