Storm Shadow could be like a fixed AASM. Launch it towards enemy spawn point with an SPAA up from far away, let it travel and then it’ll pop up with IR seeker turned on looking for the SPAA

well thats the thing, from what I’ve seen Kh-38MT is a private company mockup thing, not a full govt weapons program like some of the British developments you are talking about. so its probably going to be impossible to find conclusive evidence, especially since its Russian to boot (dont mean this in Russian bias way)
Maybe, but if/when we get LOAL like that. Im not sure why you’d fire off 2-4 Storm Shadows that may or may not be able to do that over 18x Brimstones that definetly can do that, and do it better
Could be an option for devs if they don’t want to fully model the Brimstones just yet.
Guys, what are you talking about? It seems you’ve forgotten about KH-38MT like it’s not even real or something…
Oh wait…

Well, we know it is real; and we know the way it locks target in-game is over-performing compared to what it’s supposed to do… and so is Hammer IR.
is this another yak141 irst case?
No, cause the Yak-141 isn’t a production vehicle.
it seems to me that gaijin is yet again giving aircraft equipment which it didn’t have or equipment which does not even exist
False equivalence fallacy.
Yak-141, Kikka, etc are not production aircraft.
There has been evidence posted that the missile systems do exist, tho full production may not have been determined for us.
There has been evidence posted across the forums of Kh-38s on Su-34s and Su-27/30/35 [whether they use different fire control systems I don’t know].
And there is no evidence Kh-38s are restrictive; meaning if an aircraft can fire one they can fire them all with the appropriate supporting equipment [targeting pod for example].
which means gaijin can add the vehicle as it was planned irl, despite what was actually built?
600+ messages in this thread… please give me a link to the proof

There definitly hasnt, what are you talking about
No proof has yet been provided that the Kh-38MT ever actually existed in any form of functional capacity (testing or otherwise).
The furthest ppl who believe the Kh-38MT to have actually existed have gotten is reposting old brochures (which id already provided in the original post) and proving that there was another newer mockup of the missile displayed back in 2017.
So, to this point, the “proof” provided for its existence are old brochures that were likely simply promotional in purpose and seeking funding for the program, and that there have been 2-3 mockups known to be in existence instead of 1-2…

It’s less real than Pirate on a German Typhoon, yet there’s no Pirate on a german Typhoon.
My point is that I’m kinda annoyed by this so-called “pulling an owl on a globe”.
If you want to deny reports left and right and approve everything you like - you gotta have standarts for that. If you don’t - just say it, openly.
“Uh, actually it doesn’t matter, we just don’t like it, that’s why” - would be valid enough.
It’s a cat-and-mouse game, but mouse is a 4 dimensional creature and a cat has his eyeballs carved out.
Well then it will be obvious bias. Besides, it will be possible to ask gaijin why they don’t introduce paper projects for other countries? For the USA there are many projects that remained only on paper, there are simply imbalanced missiles there.

There was none actually. Or am I missing something?

Im honestly curious what evidence the devs have for the Kh-38MT or their stance on this subject quite frankly.

I know and I can tell, that might help with general comprehension of the situation around ru equipment.
Care to listen?
Saying something along the lines of russian bias aint helpful to the discussion.
I know the devs likely dont care and we arent gonna get anyrhing back from them, but itd be cool if we did for once. Smin has already been pinged, as has a dev, and neither answered so either they didnt see or were told not to interact with this thread, either way I dont intend to ping them more for the time being.

No, it’s not about the bias
Honestly, I’m more interested in the guidance methods of Kh-38MT and IR Hammer being coded for the game than either being removed.
Both would be a “nerf” to the capabilities.
