Yes because it’s a stupid question. Laser+IOG gets you all the needed FnF to deal with SPAA, and I would rather have long range Laser+IOG than spitting distance IR.
then the only meaningful FnF weapons at top tier would be the the AGM-65D/G which are reasonably well balanced at the moment compared to the KH-38MT and AASM. If nothing else, the AGM-65 does not have IOG which is the most OP thing about the KH-38MT imo.
So in a world where KH-38MT and IR AASM essentially didnt exist. F-15E/I and F-16C would become the meta CAS until such time we see things like FnF Brimstones
Brimstone is a pain in the butt to use to fight a Pantsir and Id rather have 6x AGM-65Gs on the Typhoon at the moment
And Brimstone don’t even have the long range to out range pantsir (no body have) while All Russian main had to do is pressing space bar for few seconds outside spaa range lol
Cool. Let me know when it reaches a fraction of the dominance the KH-38MT gets in GSB, which frankly is the only place you really need to look to see just how great the disparity is and all I really care about and not a dogshit RB mode.
Edit: GSB is by far the best metric to judge this system by. It is the only place that is not diluted by nation mixing and provides a direct comparison between equipment. CAS either makes or breaks the match, which is reflected in the impact of the 38MT. Shocker Red has near 60% win average. Almost like having a missile that is almost immune to being intercepted vs what is already the weakest SPAA in the game is ludicrous.
I’m just responding to the level of crying to keep the KH-38MT that has been displayed for the last 6000+ replies, crying and BS.
Do call them, all it will show is the cronies deflecting.
They will not give the actual dev response, as to why a weapon that doesn’t meet their own requirements for being added was, and to be far and away the best weapon in the game to literally be in its own league and be added to a “certain nation” shocker, when the reality is it was either pathetic incompetence or deliberate negligence on their part, and frankly I’m not sure which is worse.
If you’d actually bothered to read mate, I’ve strongly agreed with the removal of it, and even the likes of the F16AJ.
However I do not believe we should allow nations with jets like the F15E and I to go untouched.
Sitting a step below their contempories.
It doesn’t show anything, You’ve no right to bounce on here and talk to folk like dirt on your shoe.
On top of that you’ve yet to make an actual point that isn’t just trying to insult people, which makes you look rather immature bud.
As it stands right now it seems to be the latter.
there was “documents” allegedly cutting about at the time of the addition of the missile, however no one has any evidence to prove that the thing was, or wasn’t real thats the bastard with it.
The fact is they likely cant keep up with the “documents” they do have, as seen with the bug reports left for literal years before even being seen to.
In my eyes it should be removed until proven real.
can have KH38MTs but get half assed brimstones.
The correction of the IR AASM and removal of the 38MT would not magically make these better than they currently are(significantly held back).
The 15E/I and 16s are not some CAS winbutton like the 38MT because the 65D is not even in the same league. And they are much more comparable to the Typhoon, Rafale, Gripen or even 27SM than any of the 38MT carriers.
6 Mavs and basic LGBs aren’t all that when you have no standoff capability to deal with SPAA (S1s).
I’ve been following this thread since day 1. It’s the same BS arguments from people trying to keep it since then.
Anybody still defending it deserves no respect anyway, could care less. And them trying to justify their point just goes to show why I’m not wrong with how I say things.
Im sorry but acting like the F15E / I are not absolutely banging platforms is silly man, the F15E beats a gripen in every regard bar in 1v1 duels.
the rafale is better than it over all.
The su30 if it had Kh29T’s would be comparable.
You realise pantsir while the best SPAA isnt some super weapon right?
Dont get me wrong though, other nations need their comaparable platforms.
That doesn’t give you the right to jump on here and start slinging insults out.
Then why should anyone show you a modicum of respect back?
You defeat your own point acting like a child, should know by now. just because you disagree gives you no right to sit and insult people, hell even started insulting me because I said something you didn’t like just a little
It is proposed to remove the Kh-38MT, but introduce realistic guidance for the Kh-38ML, when they are guided by 1-2 drones per 1 missile, then the missiles can be launched from 20-40 km.
