Have you ever survived a 38MT hit?
no it isnt
it is literally in the name of the thread, what it is about
we shouldnt disscuss other weaponsystems in here, as this is clearly not the place to do so

I’ve never died to a brimstone lol, KH-38MTs get me pretty much every game I’m facing russia. Any game playing against russia is on a 3 minute timer, as players get their kills (with their tanks that would realistically be much worse with anti-ERA sabot tips, and their autoloaders actually blowing up when hit like other nations, but thats a different rabbit hole), and then they’re guaranteed about 8-12 free kills, as once their Su-30SM is done they can spawn in a Su-34

Anti era tips only would work against Kontact 5 guy.
I also find the tandem charge on the brimstone a bit useless. No where near the damage it should do imo
Now that I think about it, I’ve never been killed by a Brimstone either, people don’t fly out the EF that often or rarely do CAS with it, Britain and Italy have better FnF platforms anyway, Germany is the only nation using it for CAS.
It has enough explosive mass and pen to reliably one shot almost every MBT with a good center mass shot. Brimstones are pretty good in my experience.
The worst thing is how the JF-17 literally gets APKWS from Alibaba with the Fire Snake ATGMs in 17 round pods with HEAT warhead. Because we shouldn’t forget that the APKWS isn’t just limited arbitrarily to SAP and HE warheads, it’s also limited to 7 shots per pod.
Also as a TBA Multi-dart enthusiast, you really don’t want them. The ballistic computer doesnt have any idea how to deal with them, so it’s 100% just Kentucky windage and guesswork.
Ahem back to the KH-38MT.

I’ve had mixed experience. With low angle impacts generally being a little hit and miss. But more top down attacks producing slightly more reliable results.
But with the poor state of top tier GRB in general, I’ve barely used either the Gr4 or Typhoon in GRB and generally play no higher than 10.3 these days. Though with the upcoming changes, 11.7 might be quite promising for consistent downtiers. Though unfortunately the Gr4 still isn’t an option
I’ve not really had a good time with them. They’re slow, (from my experience) the damage is inconsistent, and having to hold a lock for a consistent hit keeps you vulnerable to SPAA or other aircraft. I mostly stick to the AGM 65s on the SAAF JAS39C and occasionally use the Harrier GR.7. The Tornado GR.4 isn’t worth me getting or using in GRB (Typhoon is just a better platform), and even still I’ve had better results with the mavericks (Both IR and laser)
two weeks later, there’s been nearly 5000 messages in this thread (if we include deleted and flagged messages) ,still no response from any higher up let alone proof of this missile being real or what source/sources the snail apparently used to make this missile.
Im genuinely curious at this point what gaijins forum PR team is planning on doing about this thread.
This missile is HATED by 85%+ of the playerbase so ought to be addressed on that, and the questionability about if its even real needs formal addressing even more.
Note even tech mods have said aye in favour of removing this missile based on the lack of proof of realism. this is a bad situation

I wouldn’t normally have a problem with AGMs if the KH-38MTs had a counter. Mavericks aren’t nearly as consistent or effective and its incredibly easy for russian players to repeatedly wipe teams of players. Anti-Cas is possible, but again the Su-34 and Su-30SM are very capable BVR and WVR platforms
EDIT: My point is, other nations should have just as good missiles or remove the KH-38MT altogether. I don’t exactly want a game where the match is over in 5 minutes because 1 player can spawn 1 jet and wipe out a lobby. I think everyone should get a pretty even playing field, and at the moment france and russia have by far the best CAS, while russian tanks also have multiple game physics and lack of additions in their favour

there is about enough proof about russian era being able to stop western anti era apfsds as there is about the reverse
its all unknown.
but I still think that a multistage apfsds would win against some explosive box

same here, if we had mode 2 brimstones, JAGM prototype or similar in other nations id have less issues with it as the books would be balanced in the air (excluding SPAA)
as soon as a SU gets in the air with these things the game is over from how cracked it is. its just a shame
Nah su34 (which already is stupidly op) is crap but adding su30 WITH kh38 which is the best AGM that broke balance to an completely absurd level. Its just too much
Su30 is very capable and perfect for small maps like grb would be fine if it didnt get kh38 but ffs gayjin said “nah ruzzia is bed, ruzzia ned more cas”
My point is that HEALTHY thinking human being wouldnt add such thing to the game
I wanted to say more about “someone” but apparently its forbidden to give opinion about “someone”

I do have to wonder if the devs play the game much if at all and if they do what nations and BRs as there’s some very poor decisions at so many places
