The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

It would be nice for dumb bombs to receive a cost decrease at high tier, and for cluster ordnance. Would enable some silly plays, and some aircraft to be a bit more useful.

Yeah it would.

The problem is cas itself, no matter how good of spaa you have, cas will still be dominant.

Whether you have bombs or agms, cas is still better

I’ve seen 3 nukes happen from people spawning in brimstone carrying planes, killing our whole team, then getting a nuke.

Separate matches of course, but still.

Its common at any BR.

Difference is how much effort it requires.

dancing around like forest fairy on crack just to achieve what single Kh-38MT can by simply smashing the spacebar sounds like lot of effort for one kill.

Again, F&F achieve the same with less effort.

Any CAS can be good in uncontested airspace, this say literally nothing about performance of Brimstones nor any other missile, bomb or rocket for that matter.

Another extremely niche scenario, importance of which is diminished by the fact that any sort of large enough ordnance landing close enough to SPAA will destroy it regardless.

Yes, the game mode with small ass maps where you can lock everything in ACM mode, so important “bud”.

Thats sorta irrelevant. Ive got several nukes with M60s, despite that i dont think they are best tanks in the game. (I mean they are but thats beside the point).

That is super relevant. The sp cost for a plane with that kind of weapon system is typically 840ish~

Meaning they had a large gap to make up…

And model every single thing in the game wrong and let it rot for years.

Its irrelevant due to fact that its entirely dependent on player, not the vehicle nor missile. Good player can make anything work.

I’m glad you just said that, because it means there shouldn’t be a single complaint from anyone.

“good player can make anything work”

Funny that brimstones can be carried as a max load of 18, and at best you get 6 KH-38s…

You also just said it’s not the missile, it’s the player.

Buddy just give up already.

Subjective aspect in discission about vehicle or weapon is irrelevant.

In hypothethical scenario where two evenly matched players face each other, it comes down to vehicle or weapon performance.

And in this regard Kh-38MTs outperform brimstones in almost every aspect.

And Phantom can carry what, 285x FFARs, ergo its better CAS than Su-34 according to you, because it carries more ordnance?

The thread has been succesfully derailed by whataboutism. :/

No lol. Because it can carry more doesn’t make it inherently better, but given its systems, I would say it does. 1-2 passes with brimstones can cause a lot of damage, as can KH-38s, but KH-38s will run out far before the brimstones will.

Are we being hypocritical now?

It depends on a myriad of factors, not just pilot skull, but the plane itself, and it’s systems.

Ofc RU main will try to do that they don’t want their fake overpower stuff to be remove even if it “not exist”

And my counterpoint F&F munitions are just as good at dealing with SPAAs as the extremely niche case use of Brimstones (prefiring) you provided.

SPAA has to either shoot down the incoming F&F munitions as they dont require guidance from plane or put pressure on the CAS plane, which is free to fully defend.

Once the pressure is off, CAS plane can move in to engage the SPAA again. Starting this dance again.

With Brimstones, the attacking plane had to choose between fully defending and putting pressure on the SPAA, it cant do both.

plane using SALH munitions is much more vulnerable during the attack than plane using F&F munitions.

I will just leave this here.

and when two evenly matched players face each other other, player skill leaves the equation and it comes down to vehicle and ordnance capabilities. Thank you for agreeing with me.

It does usually go that way. :/

I’ve also noticed that motorola has NOT made a thread about the f-16AJ, so he can’t have been that bothered about it.
