Looked at, ignored i’m guessing. There’s simply no way that this can break almost 6k replies and 2k votes and pass under the radar.

its also shifted to 85-15 from the 83-17 it was at for ages

cuz they dont really have any knowledge on these either
i bet 90% of devs just work because “its my job” and 10% would have some kind of enthusiastic to their work
600 devs across the entire department

I mean, it’s a job, not a hobby. The moderators are in fact volunteers, but not the devs. Also some of the work aren’t even done but Gaijin but other smaller workshops.
No point in asking anymore at this point.
If they wanted it gone, it would’ve been gone already.
More likely it would be removed in a major patch, which is when changes to aircraft loadouts usually happen.
They would also look for alternatives to introduce in the same patch, so as to not disrupt the loadout too much.
The devs often buff and nerf stuff in a whim, but I don’t remember changes similar to the removal of an entire weapon class on vehicles. We often see the opposite when new armement is added and br adjusted accordingly (aka fox3 introduction), but not the opposite. At least not on something as major as that
They still have the Kh-29TD though, which is just as good as the AGM-65s

Do they already have it as a loadout ?
Anyway, I personally doubt the devs will do anything about the 38MT personally. It brings so much players in the Russian tree paying for premiums short term (even if there’s an impact long term), that it would not be worth for them to do anything

Yeah, the aircraft that have Kh-38 also have Kh-29
Not to mention KAB-500 and KAB-1500.

Are these not just TV? According to the wiki they are and TV seekers are horrible in any conditions that arent clear day. Not really close the the AGM-65s
With a targeting pod it’s alright.
Not really because youll only get a point lock and not a track lock. It makes quite a difference when the vehicles can move so quickly
I’m not going to be complaining if Russia can no longer take over matches with a blatantly OP weapon. The Kh-29 is still better than many other nations get.

Only germany would have worse munitions, with their brimstones. Every other nation either gets IR mavs/bombs. or is also stuck on the TV seekers of the Kh-29 (only china)
China doesn’t
Read the rest of my sentence lmao
Doesn’t make sense though because Germany also has Kh-29s.
Russia would get 5 of them on a single aircraft with a targeting pod.
Yes 2 Kh29s on an aircraft with no tgp or anything. I didnt count it here because its not a top tier aicraft

In any case, Russia doesn’t have the capability for large scale manufacturing of IIR seekers for missiles which is why they rely on TV seekers like that in the Kh-29. That’s not a licence for Gaijin to add fictional missiles, that’s just a reality of playing the Russian tech tree. Other tech trees have had to put up with similar capability gap issues.
