The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

**** We understand that in some ways this is a “paper” aircraft, however, all of its avionics actually existed and worked, as well as weapons.****

“Some of the sensors, including the radar, according to our information, were replaced during testing with such mock-ups,”

if the Yak-141 can get the “this is a paper aircraft” treatment, The F-16AJ should get the same else it’ll be a clear double standard

at least if gaijin corrected it to be that of the brochure then we can move on from there but again - It’s upto gaijin’s hand

You see, even you understand that this F-16AJ is simply useless, you need a friend who will show you where the Pantsir is and so that you with your blind first Mavericks without a terrible thermal imaging and zoom, could somehow sneak up on it and somehow hit it. While the player with the X-38 does not need a friend who will help him find the ADATS in order to hit it.

yak141 being argued as a paper aircraft. Even gaijin themselves explicitly stating it

the AJ is a paper aircraft as being on a brochure so leanway for it should be considered

Imagine if the A-10A Late and ADATS were set to 8.0 and the A-10 would destroy all living things below without any danger and not a single SAM would be able to even get close to them.

Usually you dont need if ur aware of key points on the map, It’s not useless at all.

Suboptimal? yes absolutely

I think gaijin should consider a weapons upgrade or Just operate the F-16A OCU in that case until the F-2A gets implemented

no

So, still nothing for proof the KH-38MT ever eixsted?

Definetly time for Typhoon to be added, especially as it would be faster than the KH-38MT

Explain

Yak141 is a tech demonstrator even as gaijin themselves said “paper aircraft”

so if AJ gets removed for being on paper the 141 should also else its clear national bias and double standards

(given Kh-38MT got added with no real proof of its abilities (the thread name) but refuses the GCS-1 IR guided bomb for “no proof it can track tanks” despite ignoring all proof it can)

Because

  1. AJ being Gaijin too lazy to model new planes
  2. Double Standard, only USSR gets the treatment
  3. Its paper, u cant argue further, unless its Russian
  4. Placeholder(unlikely)

Brimstones not getting its FnF ability but Kh-38MT getting it despite 0 proof it exists and 0 proof of its abilities if its real

F-16AJ isnt even close to what was shown in the brochure/ the demonstrator that was shown to japan

We have a huge imbalance in the top tier towards one nation, just a huge gap, we need to remove the KH-38MT from the game and leave the ML. All and all problems will be solved. And there is no need to restore this unfortunate F-16AJ or invent something, it is the same passable aircraft as the A-15A for the USA, you just open it and do not even buy a crew, just skip it.

The devblog nowhere says the Yak-141 is a paper aircraft, but parts of it. Regardless of how some interpret it, the Yak-141 has been built and tested, i.e. an unfinished prototype - F-16AJ was not even considered by the JASDF and therefore never saw the light of day.

no it wont

cas will still be a huge issue

It would be nice if gaijin corrected it


It appeared to have the correct model on the dev server’s implementation but later removed

only if Gaijin model new spaa sooner

CAS will still be a problem especially with the newer A2G aramaments that were found in the files

Well then we need SPAA that shoot the moment one of them appear on radar
Like instantly shoot when: Ding Ding Ding CAS has been spotted, firing 2 Python 5 heading to the target at Mach Jesus while the CAS isnt even reaching 500km/h yet

Then it just becomes a USAF YF-16, and thus should be removed from Japan
