i was just making @MotorolaCRO point clear
he was saying that nobody cares about the lower tier FnF stuff even tho they are really good
Another day. More whataboutisms.
The core difference though is that SPAA is effective.
At least i’ve never had issues with hard countering an A-10 with the Stormer HVM at 10.3
But the ADATS (and more than a few others at top tier) cannot be used against fixed wing CAS and its stupid that the soviets have both the best SPAA (and have done so for that last 2 or 3 years without equal) and now they have an insanely capable AGM and have done so for the past year.
Even just removing the IOG from the KH-38MT for every reason they gave for removing the MMW from the Brismtone would have made a world of difference. Especially now its been revealed to be a fake weapon added for the sole purpose of giving the soviets an OP AGM (and it is that, otherwise they could have given the fictional IR seeker to the KH-29)

Most AGMs at lower BR get a counter such as the A10A that’s slow gets the 2S6, Strela as a counter while the KH38MT has no counter at all with 3 different airplanes that can carry it, the double standards that Gaijin usually tend to do when it comes to only a single nation.

But they should be looked at in a vacuum, since Gaijin selectively decides on permitted stores / ammo configuration for a given vehicle, based on BR and assorted other factors to follow their idea of what provides balance.
Many aircraft with the AGM-65A or -65B could / should also carry the -65D the fact that they don’t is a balancing consideration, the same way the Walleye II hasn’t been implemented on any of the aircraft in game that could carry it.

No it shouldn’t as they’re just only one part of a vehicle that’s carrying them.
You can say that 38MT is the best AGM, but saying the vehicle is OP just because it’s the best at one metric is asinine.
They could, but the real question is that plane with that configuration needed for the nation in question at that given BR. It’s better to have vehicles spread out than having several ones mashed together at the same BR.

Russia definitely did not need a second jet to carry 6 of them.

And I do not support 30SM carrying 38MTs.
F-16AJ was a mockup from a brochure, Kh-38MT is the same
its not “absolutely useless”
F-16AJ is just Gaijin being lazy to add a new model for Japan
Kh-38MT is bias

Damn… u work for cia or smth?
Gaijin can’t introduce new planes for Japan because they are either on the 5th generation or something imbalanced. That’s why they introduced some intermediate version of a stopgap plane so that players would have to pump up this unnecessary useless plane. If you remove it, everyone will say thank you. Well, because the plane has nerfed Sparrows and broken AGM-65B. The plane is terrible and can safely be removed from the game.

F-2A would fit as its a 4.5th gen (same gen as rafale and ef2k) as well as having ground ability
If you remove it, everyone will say thank you.
Not everyone

Gaijin could implement a weapons upgrade maybe even a targetting pod due to it being moderately fictional as it is
if Kh-38MT is implemented despite being a mockup with no real data to date proving its existance other than a mockup + jpeg on a brochure, F-16AJ should get the same treatment
I think that this is a fictional plane or a plane project added by Gaijin to slow down the opening of the new aviation. The F-16AJ has no weapons at all, its BR is already flying planes with FOX-3 and with targeting systems, this is a plane of error. It needs to be killed so that time is not wasted on its opening.
So I think that Gaijin can make a gesture and take out the KH-38MT and F-16AJ from the game and this will be very correct.
If they did this it would make sense

It’s not entirely fictional, how its implemented is
The F-16AJ has no weapons at all
???

It faces it in an uptier, however the only fox-3 plane im aware of is F-14A
It needs to be killed so that time is not wasted on its opening.
? I dont understand
its completely fictional, the F-16AJ simply does not exist at all
That’s the thing, the only person claiming that is you.
It’s that the performance delta gained by the addition of the Kh-83MT, over say the Kh-29T(E) / or -29D breaks balance, by not having a counterpart in any other Tech Tree, and even then there are few counterparts that would even come close. And as such would likely require the addition of some sort of guided Submunition dispenser (e.g. CBU-105) to even remotely approach any of the multitude of performance metrics in which the Kh-38MT has over other options.
The fact that it is also present on high performance airframes causes yet more issues. Considering it is so much better than literally everything else.
Because I can take a baseline airframe and restrict access to various stores and see how it performs, in order to make it meet particular criteria.
That is the point, none of the airframes equipt with the Kh-38MT, would decrease in BR if they did not have access to it, thus its removal across the board is not an issue since other members of the Kh-38 family will remain, it’s specifically only the F&F variants, and INS capabilities are still retained, so the same 6x launches in ~15 seconds can still occur, it’s just slightly less likely to kill everything it was fired at.
For some trees sure, but its not like the for example US tree lacks alternate options for any particular role & BR so it’s really not an issue of stores options, but more so overall airframe selection, the fact that Gaijin takes practically any opportunity to include exported variants in other trees doesn’t help their shear ubiquity, and diminishes their advantages since only player stats (not service date, nor capability) are taken into account.
Though of course many people would think the US is already fairly bloated and would complain if it picked up another 4x F-4s, 6x additional F-16s, another A-10, 4 more members of the Century series, 4x Saber derivatives, various assorted Light Attack options, 3 additional Hornets, a large number of jet bombers and more all to meet some arbitrary criteria of having options for all roles at every BR rung.
