The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

They seem to have kept their explosive power but don’t have the pen anymore to overpressure. Maybe they swapped what part of the tank it hits. I quit playing past 11.3 so I wouldn’t have to deal with Kh-38s lol.

The amount of posts in a thread is not a measurement for quality or a necessity for actions beeing taken.

I’m currently playing on 12.0 and almost always hit 11.7.

this is just a PB for a non RR&D thread

Sorry i don’t know what that means.

its a personal best in uselessness for a wt forum thread that isn’t Rumour round up and discussion

Just to compare the balance in the game.
AGM-65G VS T-90M

KH-38MT VS M1A2 SEP2

The AGM-65Ds are also completely weakened. Now that’s a Maverick hit on the roof.

Abrams have NERA which is much better than Soviet ERA. And the fact that in our game Relic has magical properties of adamantium has nothing to do with reality.

It’s just an issue with how ERA is modeled. It shouldn’t be a single KE protecton value from any angle.

The problem is that the head of the company, Gaijin, decided to turn the game into a demonstration of the dominance and perfection of Soviet weapons over other nations.


Maverick, “critical” hit. Clearly worth 850 spawn points^^

Ppl here compare it to KH-38MT, which would have killed this tank even with a miss, leaving a 5m deep crater behind. Its just not even remotely comparable. Not the flight model (op and agressive lofting), not the speed, not the seeker/iog, not the warhead. KH-38MT is just an outlier and needs to go. Its too op.

It didn’t even remove the tank’s tracks. In general, the Maverick is as bad as it can be. In addition to being slow, it often can’t keep up with the tank. Even the first Shilkas can shoot down the Maverick, and when I launch the Maverick from a height and it falls, it starts to lose speed faster than if I did it on a plane with air brakes.

Felt like the KH-29T is way more powerful then the KH-38MT, and maybe you shall give Maverick another try as that is a 2 years old photo

Yep, it did nothing. Just changed to color of some mods, didn’t even knocked them off. Not even the ERA plates went black. Its…just hopeless.

It didn’t change, sadly.

That’s exactly what someone who opposes fiction in the game would want, all fiction removed in one fell swoop to prevent any hypocrisy and double standard claims afterwards.

@MrBombastic8
Kikka with guns attached isn’t real and it would be needed to be deleted as well. You also missed quite a few fakes along the way.

Get that sorted out and present it to Gaijin, I’m sure you’ll get loads of support.

Yeah, it wasn’t a perfect example. You could also cut the magnification and current range to target in half and the gate should retain the same size. Main point was that I think you cut out too much of the role the magnification of the optic system plays.
And it makes perfect sense that there’s a middle way that needs to be picked for magnification and thus FoV, but there should be a relatively wide margin depending on what you want from your missile.
The narrow FoV making close in guidance on terminal approach difficult is also probably less of a problem for a very fast missile.

Switching back to ingame applications, before they slaved the sensors of individual AGMs together (so you were no longer reset to boresight after every individual one fired) most people used the KH-38MT with the optical targeting system of the Su-25SM3. It’s limiting of course, but really not by all that much.

That seems like a reasonable estimate in general, this really doesn’t seem like a weaponry system designed against land vehicles in general. The use the KH-38ML saw in real life was also pretty much exclusively against buildings, bridges and fortifications, not vehicles. But the same could probably be said about the AGM-130, and that thing shouldn’t struggle at all to lock and hit vehicles.
Would a delta T of 4 K between target and background really be a problem? No clue what’s normal, but even in a relatively warm environment I would’ve expected that of a running vehicle.

To be honest with you, I didn’t really get that impression when looking at the threads in the forum.

Threads that touch up on certain fakes have like 50-100 comments over few months before finally dying down.

I was actually surprised seeing a thread where people literally voted in favor of bringing back recently nuked fiction, just because they found justification for that from their thoughts and feelings, which we all know are subjective.

Can somebody give me a summary of everything here?
Is it real? Is it not? Is it just gaijob implementing stuff that Russia doesn’t even have in service or that never existed?
