There is no reliable evidence for that. It seems some people mistook “imaging” seeker to mean “IIR” when it likely meant radar imaging.
I searched through thousands of pages and the truth is there is NO PROOF of existence of this AGM, and if there is then its confidential.
It was never exposed anywhere, only in technical brochures
which means it shouldnt be added to the game because on paper you can say anything.
If the SM3 lost it, it would be in all regards a worse Su-39
It still has Kh-38MLs which outrange any and all NATO SPAA’s, it just would no longer be able to hug the ground after 15 seconds post-spawn (i.e average time it takes for an MT spammer to fire off their Kh’s).
Older vids show that MLs are also more than enough honestly, cus they’re fast enough that they usually take out whatever’s on the ground before the jet even gets in range of non-Pantsir SPAAs.
Which pretty much means your going to trade there guy. SM3 is so sluggish to maneuver that you’ll eat the incoming aam.
Well, yeah, it’s kinda funny if you deny you said something just to repeat it a second later.
Why are you posting here if you don’t want replies? I replied to the latest post that had very thin and bad reasoning, just happened to be yours. It’s also not a “whataboutism” to show you that the exact same reasoning you used to call the KH-38MT can be applied to pretty much any other top tier F&F AGM. If you want to call it OP at least use decent arguments, it’s not like those are in short supply.
Because I played the Su-25SM3 in ARB. Less than a quarter of my games in that thing were in GRB. I spaded the Rafale in GRB, however.
Enemy planes do.
I mean if its good enough for the KH-38MT lol but in all seriousness it would be nice to have an SDB counterpart on the EFTs to help counter pantsirs combined with GPS/SAL guidance I think they would probably replace Brimstones
Trade against what? SPAA’s? No:
The only ones you’ll “trade against” are gonna be CAP planes, but that’s the fate of all strike aircraft ever since 2013.
isn’t the ML hard locked to 10km like the mavs? NVM I forgot they are IOG.
NOTHING can stop a kh38mt carrier from firing its agms before it dies, you would have to literally circle their airspawn to be able to kill the carrier within 5 seconds
which is far more balanced then just getting 4 free kills
the people trying to defend this thing will look at that and just go “but I cant just launch all 4 immediately and dive to the ground where im untouchable??”
So then the Su-34 would be the only option which is also dominated by CAP
planes generally need a rework in GRB, they are too braindead
all planes should start from airfield ALWAYS
Planes should also be forced on “adaptive SP” system, i.e if they want to use their full CAP /+/ CAS loadouts, they’ll need to put in vastly more effort on the ground.
Currently it’s a joke that an avg of 2 kills is enough to give some nations basically between 4 to 6 free ground kills from the air.
Ooh someone is getting feisty.
So the moment RU gets a plane that can defend itself and at the same time be potent it’s a problem???
You also act like they aren’t planning to add other weapons to other nations. (Like the always do)
I used to troll with ka50 when it was still op to show this absurd, I would go in and cap a point with bt7 (which was easy on majority of maps), then I just sit there and damage some random tank/bmp (sometimes even got a kill lmao) and instantly J out to spawn with 12 vikhrs in like 2 minutes after game starts…
now its even more cancer because you can spawn with op f&f agms
no the problem is they are using blatantly OP missiles that dont exist lmao, I fail to see how people cant grasp that concept.
its been over a year and still no other A2G weapon has come close to being as OP as the MT… almost like it was added way to soon
it was the same with r27er, completely fake stats (still are) and we didnt get anything equivalent/better for a looong time
Su-34 has been able to defend itself since forever, so has the Su-25SM3 via the R-73s, but do point out to me where I said “it’s a problem”, I think you’ll find that between the two of us, it’s only you who has brought it up.
The problem is that other nations actally have to worry about both CAP and SPAAs, whereas Russia only has to worry about being potentially CAPed - that is the difference that YOU are failing to account for when arguing how badly Russia has it, and how they NEED to be able to fire off their MTs from 15km+ and then go back to their AF.
I’ve been actively playing the Pantsir recently, and the difference in how much effort the two opposite sides have to put in to perform is at a level of a JOKE, one spawns, gets free kills, the other spawns and immediately has to defend itself (even if I can’t/don’t kill them, I still force them into a position where they can’t do anything).
Add to that how MT is pretty much fake, and it’s very much a “whew lad” moment.
