The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

Doesnt appear so.

By all accounts it was intitially marketed alongside the other variants of the KH-38, but seems to have never gone past the mock-up stage with no evidence of it being tested.

There are a number of reason why this could have happened and is not uncommon for weapon systesm early in development to be scrapped because of lack of interest.

The KH-38MT is no longer marketed anywhere it seems which further reinforces this idea it never made it off the ground.

But in a world where buddy lasing exists. KH-38ML would probably be the versatile and useful weapon system anyway, able to target a wider range of targets (well, basically any target) where IR would be rather limited

top tier, depends if they implement the proposal’s and early/ADTW variants (same how they did the F/A-18’s)

Mid tier, sabre dogs, vampire (used as a trainer but still worth adding due to how iconic it is)

The thing that bugs me the most about the AJ is how we literally could’ve gotten the F-2 the same patch or the patch after and it wouldve been fine. It just goes to show how little gaijin does research before adding stuff. Instead the F-2 is now like a year and a half late.

The F-2 should have come in Firebirds with the F-15E or the one before with the J-10. The AJ simply should not have been added, and a prototype F-2 could have been added the next update

Ah yes, 4x sparrows + 4x aam-3s on an early one, truly a rival to 8x amraams.

At the latest it shouldve came with the F-15As, even though its a bit worse them then and japan got the F-15J anyways, hence me saying some point before that.

6014

Fair enough, maybe update before the F-15C? Because AESA makes SARH much better iirc

6015

F-15A and C were an update apart for some god forsaken reason, and it has no impact on SARH performance without datalink.

Yea, you’re right, Yaks hitting anything more than once and not disassembling midflight is bothering me as well.

Yea, yak-141 is bothering me as well, you knew?

Yea, I do agree that Gaijin adding a whole new IR missile for soviets and double crippled Brimstones for EFs is unfair. I mean they just went and added 1)Wrong version 2)Wrong capabilities. They could’ve just added another munition like HOPE and just cut it’s range, that seems much easier. Those double standarts, uuuuh, heating me up!

6017

No, wasn’t there an update between them?

Can’t make Russia a bad nation to play

i dont get why people say yak141 is fictional, when it had its weapons, radar, integrated and also flew unlike f16aj or probably kh-38mt.

Yeah it didnt had its IRST but most people wont care if it got removed. a lot of vehicles dont have a lot of stuff irl but have them in game (for eg. f5c didnt had its RWR, flares/chaff and aim9b/e missiles IRL which it has in game)

Not super hard when there already isnt much discussion about it on the internet in the first place lol.

I wonder if there’ll be an update to the wiki page for the thing tho xD
