the thing is that it is accelerating because of gravity
we would need to know the exact launch paremeters
by how far is it off? (in m/s or km/h)
350 m/s higher average speed in game, that’s mach 1 slower irl

Well, he kinda does have a point
It’s due to the missile trajectory not being a straight line
Because the trajectory is curved, the missile needs to travel more than 40km to hit a target 40km away from the launch point.
And the travel distance is capped to 40km in the game, so it can’t reach a 40km target (even a 40km slant range target) with a curved trajectory …
makes sense. so a universal kh-38 nerf is possible

hold your horses
I guess I should say a theoretical nerf is possible, if bug report gets accepted and then half a decade later implemented.
s’pose it has yet to be proven with better sources than just to a brochure, no?
yes, but i need to know where the brochures came from if i am to do a bug report, and i dont have much time for it so ill be thankful if someone can pick it up
makes sense.
and the other one? with the green background
That I don’t know.
This one is newer.

still using the 40km as the distance is going to give you flase info, at 38000 which makes the fov distance of 40km(the game limit), and it takes longer than the 40km shot.
a few things:
- they will not accept statsharrk for bug-reports
- the missile has a balistic path means we dont know the exact distance it traveled
- there is a newer brochure and i think gaijin always looks at the newer data in this case the brochure from 2024
- the brochurs are at best secondary sources and both state different things for max range

- Well if someone uses the same parameters in a test drive (i dont have access to the kh38 yet)and gives the same time to target it should be accepted
- we know the distance because the missile self destructs at 40km
- both brochures have similar average speed data, the main difference is the stated range
- There are no other sources in existence, so if Gaijin refuses them we can be sure they are just making stuff up

That different range changes a lot when it comes to the averages.
70km range is for newer GPS variant, 40km for older IOG only variant.

no it is stated for the kh-38mt
yeah… makes me have little confidence in making a bug report now, but Gaijin has accepted a report to increase the launch range to 70km, if that is implemented we can see how the missile behavior changes, until then i dont think a bug report will do anything
For Kh-38MT that has “Satellite” guidance included. Old Kh-38MT had no Satellite guidance, i.e. IOG isn’t enough for accurate shot beyond 40km.
they do say that this has “inertial +satelite+infrared self homing”
