Most valid, in your opinion.
Projected capabilities are generally vague to give wiggle room, so you would get things like operational range, projected warhead options and weight and seeker options etc but not indepth seeker specs like we see with zhuhai 2024.
Err, no. Target specifications are often listed. They would be useless otherwise.
Is not available on the RU or EN language internet. What ever gaijin payed access for was likely interpreted wrong, which they have done in the past.
You are assuming that they paid for anything and didn’t just make it up. You’re also veering into “secret documents” territory. I will say again as I said before, gaijin having access to sensitive Russian data which would mean close connections to the Russian military and state would be incredibly problematic for them. I don’t believe it to be the case personally though.

And the same relations with western companies isint? Its no different from approaching lockmart or GD for licensing to use their vehicles in games etc.
Well, no it’s not the same. There is a fundamental difference between putting an (for example) abrams in game as a visual model and having access to detailed specifications.
it would open them up to legal actions up to being sanctioned as a propaganda outlet. That would end their ability to do business in the EU and potentially the US.

Now thats a reach and a half. Its hardly propaganda to do due diligence (even if it ends up being interpreted wrong) to do modeling of a munition for a semi-realistic game.
How do you think they implemented walleyes etc, because I can tell you now it wasnt by just collecting non ITAR restricted docs. (The implication being gaijin sent someone to Lockmart to get archival access and permission to implement it)
You mean when russia updates their site to remove it from sale and has not shown off a single functional example of this missile.
Such as?
so not the MT
The seeker is the ONLY part that differentiates it from the ML. No seeker, no missile.
Part of the issue is that according to this newfound brochure, the 38MT is WILDLY overperforming in terms of its tracking range and possibly speed. The seeker is much worse than it is now and should be incapable of tracking tanks from the distances it does right now.
Even if the MT is proven to exist, its implementation in the game is fictional.
We have pictures of the ML from very close up, like this one recently posted. They are mounted on an aircraft, there is no doubt it’s an ML, and I’d say there’s a 99% chance it is a functional example.
This is what I want to see for the MT.

No, it’s not. But access to restricted information would imply one of two things. a) corruption and bribery or b) close ties to the russian state allowing that access. Neither would be good for gaijin’s ability to make money, and boy do they love making money.

Like everyone else does, by educated guesses and publically available information. You can’t just chuck lockheed a bunch of cash and get detailed specifications of the F-22 (well, you maybe can but someone’s gonna end up in jail). That would be in voilation of more laws than I can count.
You seem to think that a game company can just buy access to restricted and sensitive data and that’s just not the case.
Gaijin have been incredibly careful in even giving the impression that they have access or want access to restricted data, to the point of outright paranoia sometimes because they know the ramifications of access to that data.
As I said before, it would severly impact their ability to make money and as we all know, gaijin’s all about the cold, hard cash.

Be very careful with that picture mate, it’s likely to not be allowed due to the rules regarding the current conflict.
the idea that old walleyes needed something special in order to be made on the documentation side…
they said something about the people in photos having to be censored which is done here
Gaijins all about cold hard cash as you put it but nothing modern in this game gets added without a licensing agreement and with that usually comes with the ability to come view the item in question and take measurements for 3d modelling, and get basic specifications like weight etc and from there gaijin makes inferences. If gaijin was operating how you claim they would have been DMCAed or if not that then sued into the ground as soon as they started touching later mbts and aircraft. And thats a fact of the gaming industry at large with the most prominent example of licensing in this case being what Ace Combat does.
It was an example off the top of my head. There are better ones admittedly but I CBA thinking about them in the moment.
That is around marketing licenses. Marketing. Using the visual likeness of an item in a game.
Purchasing a license to put an abrams in a video game doesnt’ grant you access to detailed armour specifications. Purchasing a license to put a f-35 in a game doesn’t grant you access to it’s RCS data.
They are entirely different things.
You can believe what you want but I can almost guarantee part of the licensing contract is allowing them limited archival access.
As for the two examples you listed they are nowhere near basic specifications. Those would be advanced and ITAR restricted.
Anyway this was fun (not) im going to make food.
If you want the X-38MTE, here it is.
thanks for reposting proof that it is only a mockup

Model
Not only that, but it also says it has “inertial + semi-active laser” guidance, so it already is using info from the ML

So… you can buy model of kh38… that world is so…
Funnily enough, they might be the literal makers of the MTE shown during MAKS, as they even show a photo of it
Further confirming that it’s just a model and just non functioning

So does that mean, after 8300 posts, we finally have a more concrete answer to if it’s real or not?
Well, they apparently make all sorts of rockets and stuff for a lot of companies. They also have a midget X-38.
