and ofc Japanese ASM that can lock Ground targets doesn’t get added, peak Gaijin
The GBU-15 / AGM-130 use a modular seeker and the option to use the same WGU-10/B as the AGM-65D so they should have similar performance which makes sense, where the -38MT appears to use a bespoke seeker.
Would it be optimal employment for a GBU-15, to be used against a tank, no. but it does retain that capability should it be needed or whatever reason.
It would significantly reduce the size of the useful target (which needs to be some apparent size for the targeting gate to reliably lock-on and retain track of) that the centroid is being generated from, at very least it would shift the point of impact significantly towards the engine compartment / exhaust, and so it’s useful range would be questionable considering we have data for the AGM-65 under test conditions. And that it is apparent that the -38MT is a magnitude worse off.
It would look very different for Ship of course, and these limits would be much less of an issue, and make far more sense as a specified performance goal.
yeah like the premium Yak38 with an internal gun isnt real or the Yak-141 with a radar oe IRST
Definitely, a true anti-fiction advocate would want all of that gone, right this second without any rules or personal opinions attached.
Trialed vehicles should share the same faith.
I’m an anti-CAS advocate and want it gone or better, TO mode to be added to avoid flying pests. I never added any special subjective rule to that, as I think doing ifs, buts and maybes isn’t a right stance when it comes to that.
I want them gone, right this second without exception.
I’m also a realist and realise the world doesn’t work that way. One of the things destroys top-tier balance and is modelled so outrageously far from its actual capabilities that it’s actually pretty funny and the others are not.
It’s clear where the priorities should be.
well looks like new spaa is a dissapointment, west will still not be able to counter russian bias CAS
they give sweden spaa that has IRIS-T with 10-12km range instead of giving them the IRIS-T SL designed for SPAA
kh38mt will still outrange it…
The “swedish” Iris T SLS won’t change anything. Gajin writes 12km range / 5km heigt. KH-38MT shooters still untouchable, except they’re doing it wrong^^
western countries should get SLM variant even if it wouldnt be a domestic vehicle, sls is not enough.
Also the brochure you sent says 8km alt but devpost says 5km
The question now is… Will we get 2 ammo boxes on it? 1 for each track pair :^)
I’m aware the report will go up when I am able to do so.
You can’t say this because your priorities are based on subjective thoughts and feelings, which is exactly why there should be no priorities at all, with stuff getting the same treatment from the start.
Someone else’s priority might be to remove fiction by their date of introduction, going from the oldest to newest.
As I said, the no ifs, buts and maybes approach is the only correct choice when it comes to stuff like this.
This doesn’t stop you from wanting something to be done the right way.
@MotorolaCRO
So you’re against the Ho-229 being part of the game?
All of these real unfinished prototypes using production intended equipment?
Trash take to be honest.
Fake vehicles or their fake modules should go.
@MotorolaCRO Alright, so here’s the deal. The speed-time graph covers the missile’s full flight over 40 km and it takes about 55 seconds, which gives an average speed of roughly 727 m/s. After the missile hits its peak (around 1080 m/s at 11 seconds), it starts slowing down steadily and drops to around 410 m/s by the end of the graph.
Now, if you want to figure out what the average speed would be over 70 km, you have to account for that continued deceleration. Based on the trend, I assumed it keeps slowing but not as aggressively — probably averaging around 500 m/s during the next 30 km. That means it would take another 60 seconds or so to finish the last 30 km.
So total time to travel 70 km would be ~115 seconds, which gives an average speed of about 609 m/s.
Stopped reading right there.
Bug report it’s maximum range and come back when that gets implemented.
I suspect you have that take cause Soviets have so few.
How did you know that Alvis ?
You are a mind reader.
Are you f’ing kidding me? im using literal math here, and even if my estimation of 600 m/s is wrong it is mathematically impossible for the missile’s average speed to drop from 750 to 380 m/s if it continued to go for 30 more km, it is simply going way too fast the first 40 km for the average speed to ever drop that low. You are out of your mind on some insane copium…
