Every plane that has access to KH38MT also has KH29TD, which sure TV seeker instead, but its still FnF, slightly more explosive mass, slightly less speed. Not much is gonna change in terms of how much russia dominates with these.
edit NVM it will only lock at 6km my bad alvis
If they just push the air spawn back to 40km (25km outside pod render range) so people aren’t immediately spawning inside range that would help a lot. Also taking some SP away from base aircraft spawns, and then redistributing SP costs more into loadouts, and specifically A2G and FNF AGMs, and less into dumb drops, bombs in general, and A2A missiles.
So now you spawn in your SU34/30 and have to at least fly 25km through potential CAP, and CAP would be cheaper to spawn. SPAA stinks at top tier, even pantsir, only thing pantsir can really do that others can’t is easily shoot down multiple AGMs with their radar. Good CAS still dunks on pantsir and woefully outranges it.
But these changes are less likely than gaijin saying “We have heard player concerns about AGMs in top tier, starting this new update it will always be cloudy in GRB matches have fun”.
yea been playing more top tier, I’ve mostly spawned in my gripen for anti-cas and managed to gun down more pantsirs than I’ve been shot out of the sky by.
Another whataboutism…
TV guided weapons have a lock range of ~4km, not 12 - 15km of the IR AGMs in-game which includes Kh-38MT.
Using TV guided weapons in top BR is worse than using laser GBUs for survival.
I feel bad for y’all tbh. Seems like your job would be a heck of a lot easier if gaijin actually put out a public statement of any kind. Even just something like “were looking into the situation and have yet to decide how we wish ti handle it” or something.
the “time is due like other fake things” argument is a very poor one. HO RI is still in game when the type 99 and type 75 is in game. SPGs are used as TDs in war thunder so its replacement has been here for a long time
we also see completely falsified shell loadouts such as the APDS on XM800T and very antiquated HE shells on SPGs which these guns wouldn’t have ever shot due to the age difference.
can also be used to abuse no actual replacements exist in the case of the 38MT because russia hasn’t got the capability to adopt such an expensive and high tech system keeping russian CAS reigning supreme as the very real counterpart missiles to this mycical beast are not getting added or have all functionality taken away
I’m just telling you how Gaijin handles fake stuff.
If you’re so hellbent at removing fakes, I think you should remind them of those examples that aren’t needed anymore.
Those threads never really got much traction and seem dead at this point. Seems like the community doesn’t care that much. Also, have you seen the recent thread about getting R2Y2s back into the game for reasons ? That thing actually received positive feedback from people.
@meki98
You have fakes added as recent as 2023 in the form of F-16AJ.
