The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

[ron_23]

IT HAS THE PW-229 ingame

it dosent get newer than that

[Smugspite]

is the Su27SM the end of the line fighter for Russia?

[Farlexgamer_psn]

Su27 and 27sm have pretty much the same radar, with very minor differences (almost irrelevant).

Me having used both the flanker and the eurofighter, i can confidently say the N001 doesn’t even come close to the captor M.

[ron_23]

13.7 is very much top tier

we never talked about end of the line, we talked about top tier

@AlvisWisla

The faster a jet goes the more channel loss below mach 1 it has, cause the channels have to be designed to slow faster and faster air down to subsonic speeds for the engines.
A mach 1.5 aircraft only has to slow down air by mach .55 so it can have a more efficient air intake.
A mach 2.5 aircraft has to slow down air by over 1.55 [and the F-15’s air intake can slow down air by over mach 1.8].

this is true for non variable geometry intakes, however the f15 has at least some degree of control over intake geometry in flight, so it is not strictly relevant

[Smugspite]

sorry then I will specify it has the worst radar of any of the 14.0s happy? or are you going to continue to be pedantic?

[ron_23]

you started being pedantic

and are now trying to shift the origanl statement in a way so you dont have to admit that you are wrong

[Smugspite]

Okay I was wrong about the Su27SM? happy? im willing to admit when im wrong but im going off of what I have heard and people say with how buggy the captor M is its worse then every other 14.0 when it should be the best mechanical radar in game

[ron_23]

@Smugspite

off of what I have heard and people say with how buggy the captor M is

so you never used it yourself and are going of anecdotal evidance to compare it to another radar you never used

unlike you I used both the EF and Flanker radars in a gamemode where you actually need to use it:
SIM EC
and i can tell you that the EF radar is usable, it isnt as good as it should be, but it is useable,
unlike the Su-27 radar where most of the time you dont even need to bother turning that glorfied microwave on

[Smugspite]

@ron_2303

unlike the Su-27

I see you are ignoring me admitting I was wrong about the Su27 and I meant the other 14.0s congrats

[ron_23]

sure all mechanical radars at top tier (14.0) are equally bad rn because gaijin cannot add a new feature without breaking half the game

[かがり]

They do, theres also blatent xenophobia towards it too due to one of the people working with them is a korean guy who hates japan with a passion

also if mods remove this they just hiding a fact

[Demokrat4]

So what’s the point then? His engines haven’t been changed.

[ron_23]

some ppl on here really lost the plot

@Demokrat4

So what’s the point then? His engines haven’t been changed.

the engines have been changed from the PW-220 to the PW-229 on the Firebirds DEV-server after US-Mains complained about it

[Alpharius11348]

I dont think anyone wants the manufacturing nation to get significantly worse versions than export customers when the reason the better engines weren’t originally on the f15e also applied to the f15i

[MotorolaCRO]

@ShOt_MaCkEr

And if 38mt would get removed. Soviet CAS would still be the most effective and broken.
Why it’s still there then?

6x 38ML or 29TD definitely would be far from broken.

[SwingfireOP]

This is all absolutely fascinating.

Shame it has nothing to do with the KH-38MT

[Sternlos]

This is everyones favorite thinly veiled russian vs us bias thread, or at least it turned into that.

[Smugspite]

yeah it would be called balanced glad we could agree

[MotorolaCRO]

Low quantity laser missile or 10.7 worthy TV one. Pick your poison. For their current BR MT actually makes them balanced
