Rules dont apply in game regardless nation. A Gaijin does whatever they want. I have seen many cases in different nations.
If gaijin are going to hold submitters of bug reports to get anything changed to exacting standards, to the point where reputable sources aren’t considered good enough, then those standards should apply to gaijin themselves.
Case in point, the HSTV-L. Spookson submitted god knows how many reports about it’s fire rate with manufacturer documentation, but they were denied. It’s only when they introduced the RD/LT premium and he made a video about it pointing out their hypocrisy that it was changed.
The hypocrisy is what annoys me most about this entire debacle.

There are some similar examples for Western vehicles where rules are bent, or intended configurations are not specified, for various reasons.
Take for example the US F-16C arbitrarily having access to AIM-7’s, and SDB simultaneously. they refer to it as a Block 50 but it’s configuration doesn’t match any known service configuration or timeframe for any client nation.
F-5C / F-4E Flares (count), do I need to say more.
F-14B(U) JDAMs require Sparrow-hawk config which is not present.
and others.

We reported bug in radar of all MiG-23 which would significantly improve their performance proved by operation manual and also was denied. They just dont read reports as I have been convinced many times before.

I know another ones. German MiG-29G have R-27T/ET/ER even though they never had them.
F-14A IRIAF have R-27R even though radar was not compatible with it.
F-15A never had flares.

It’s literally not, you have ways of defeating IR + IOG missiles.
On the contrary, our current flares simply won’t do anything to the IIR missiles.
It will still help the missile reacquire lock if it gets lost, which is something missiles without IOG can’t really do.
It definitely doesn’t need to be unbalanced, depending how good the platform it’s mounted on is since at the end of the day, it’d be the same old 9M with higher speed, so it’ll get defeated the same way.
27ET is an IR missile with IRCCM that goes more than twice as fast as 9M, but I don’t really see it breaking balance whenever a plane carrying it spawns in.
Much less likely than if you removed 38MT.
F-15E has BVR as it’s selling point while 38MT carriers have exactly that as their selling points.
Try to guess who would get impacted more in the case of removal.
You should ask me an inverse question.
Only thing I agree with is the 30SM.
It did, but only later refits had the modules mounted. all of the wiring and mechanization was present from the first production airframe.

They was not then renamed to F-15C?
You still don’t realize that Gaijin break their own rules if they feel like it.

they did so very recently with the japanese huey btw :)
really makes you think about their standards

It would have been part of the MSIP I upgrade program which was called-off(as Shrinkage of the fleet due to retirement made it non-competitive, as options were exercised to purchase an increased number of F-15C/D’s above what was projected when the project was started) after having been integrated into select low flight hour airframes in ANG service.
In its place the MSIP II upgrade was rolled out to the F-15C/D fleet, and then some elements of MSIP II were then backported to the remaining F-15A/B fleet, which are also confusingly referred to as MSIP II airframes, though in effect it brings the F-15A/B & -15C/D to as near a common standard as was practicable.

What happened to it ?
Don’t tell me it’s yet another utter fiction for you know who.

Yeah it was told me already. But other two are still valid.
I realise a great many things, however we can only hold gaijin to the same standards they hold us to and to which they have used to justify vehicle and weapon denials in the past and which they also use to remove vehicles.
It’s about not being a hypocrite and holding them to the same standards.

Bullshit, 9Ls and 7Ms wasn’t too advanced. It would also be bigger than any of the F-16As (more weight), with more internal fuel (more weight), and a more powerful radar (more weight), with an engine barely any better than them. The upside being… two more sparrows. At a time where we still had 100m multipathing which made radar missiles way less important than now.
And another difference is that I’m not arguing the F-16AJ should stay in the game - despite being more real than the Kh-38MT and not balance-breaking at all - it should be replaced by the XF-2A at the same BR and be actually gone for good.
That’s the ONLY part that actually makes it a Kh-38MT instead of an ML. If that’s missing, there is no Kh-38MT and it is completely fictional.
The guns in the Kikka actually existed, instead of a seeker that nobody has been able to prove its existence, not to mention its capabilities which is how this thread got started:
So ultimately no, the Kh-38MT is far more fake than any of the “fake” japanese planes in the game. Even at their worst, a plane which was never built, still had every single part needed to make one built and tested separately.

Why isn’t the fake police already policing that issue ?
Yes, you right in that. Thats why I supported back in time Centauro for USSR.
Because, has been explained to you literally dozens of times, this thread is about the KH-38MT
Issues with other vehicles should be disussed in their own thread.
sounds better than the other f16s at the same br
