I do have to say though, the fact that this thread goes off topic so much is quite interesting when you think about it logically.
The goal of the thread is to try to discuss and/or find evidence (or the lack thereof) of the operational existence of the Kh-38MT. I myself did some very extensive research in looking for info on the missile, and a few ppl who doubted me and my intentions, some of which are russian speakers, also doublechecked my work and were largely unable to find any new info as well, corroborating my claims.
The fact this thread goes off topic so often, discussing the game balance and if it deserves to stay in-game despite the paltry level of proof of the missiles operational existence is in some way its own testament to how little info there is regarding the Kh-38MT existing.
Theres just simply nothing to really discuss since nobody has been able to find anything further to discuss.
Even those who are in disagreement with the conclusions I’ve drawn have largely failed to provide anything of substance and have instead focused on arguing the validity of the topic and who the burden of proof falls upon between myself and Gaijin in this situation, instead of simply providing additional requested evidence.
Were all effectively waiting for gaijin to say something on the subject at this point. Be it posting evidence beyond whats already been discussed, or stating what they will choose to do with the missile if it turns out they have no more evidence than whats already been discussed.
Oh I noticed haha, its pretty much impossible to have a substantive conversation on a given weapon or aircraft or anything without someone dragging it off topic and without a mountain of whataboutism.
Well a fake missile being the most overpowered in game going to the Russians sure does smell like a steaming pile of fresh ruskie bias.
Plenty of people in this thread, kh38mt users and not are all agreeing for the most part that the fake ordinance should begone from the game from this.
The missile can be balanced by giving things like brimstone full capability and adding American options however this was not the point of the thread, this is only to speak of the lack of evidence that it was ever more than a potential weapon mockup
Yup, you keep putting words in my mouth, but have the audacity to call me biased sheesh… 😂 like how do you even think you have a valid opinion after editing my posts to make me say different things?
Gaijin has removed or refused weapons on vehicles for less, so unless they have actual proof that these missiles are used irl they should be removed. We all know they would immediately nerf any non Russian or Chinese vehicle for this reason.
And this is coming from someone who has all 3 kh38mt slingers.
Me: watches the jdam spam many updates ago. (These are laser guided by the way)
Me: watches the brimstone spam (and brimstone nukes a few updates ago, and still continues).
Me: watches the KH-38MT spam currently.
Hmm… I sense a pattern here Scooby doo.
I despise all CAS elements, yes the KH-38MT is easier, but I’ve seen plenty of good jdam and good brimstone players
Including helicopters, prior to the KH38MT most my top tier CAS deaths were KA52 helis, and first spawn rocket spamrushers at 8.0 are never not annoying
It’s funny how threads like this are always used by single nation players to advocate for their opponents to get hit with a nerf stick while at the same time asking for something that would be even more unbalanced and, depending on the implementation, even less realistic.
