Not when it comes to player suggested additions / removals, they aren’t as they fairly evidently require proof beyond a suspicion of whatever configuration being at very least plausible when it comes to aircraft stores.
It’s more so a public (and fairly popular ) request to provide whatever they have on the missile. It also wouldn’t be the first time that Ordnance was removed from the live server due to causing balancing issues, remember the S-13DF?
Mi-28N, Ka-52 — S-13DF missile has been changed to S-13OF with the А-IX-2 explosives weight equal to 6.9 kg. An incorrect calculation of TNT equivalent required for striking armoured targets has been corrected that led to an ammunition type change for balance reasons.
So which missile has less evidence? You clearly have one in mind.
So why not just change the Re factor / put a hard cap the performance for FAE warheads like they had with HEAT? Ultimately the mechanics that are implemented or not are entirely up to Gaijin so it wouldn’t make a difference.
So they why specifically qualify missiles then? If you can’t qualitatively point to something that is more egregious.

Kh-38MT is not even the fakest missile
It’s more just weighing my chances of getting other Prototype / mockup ordnance added across the board, since if standards they require are changing, I’ve got a number of reports to write for a whole host of items & airframes.
Because RE was correct. Thermobaric warheads have high RE, but it doesn’t mean they work same as HE against vehicles, because they are made to fight infantry. And so S-13DF was replaced with same rocket just with warhead that can work in game properly.
You dicided I specifically qualify missiles, I just said KH-38 is missile. Fake stuff is fake stuff. I changed missile to “thing” so nobody will misunderstand.
Replacing with already working mechanic is easier way for them than trying to find out how good thermobaric warheads are against armor for a single rocket.
It still gets adjusted all the time for a number of explosives because there is practically no actual consensus between sources, likely due to manufacturing differences over the years, and better documentation / standardization.
HEAT warhead overpressure is always very unreliable, its like they cant overpressure a plate that they directly hit or something, a HE frag zuni would be better
Concessions are made for gameplay, but the way you described Gaijin’s approach to approving weapons is completely made up and not how they work at all.
You do get that this is specifically about fact that overpenetration mechanic that HEAT warheads should qualify for, by mass doesn’t occur if the plate the fragments penetrate is greater than 20 / 30mm RHAe cutoff, not that the fragments themselves can or cannot penetrate the plate.
