Not to mention that high resolution 3rd generation thermals require cooling.
Thats cool, I never heard about that before. Why does it need cooling? Is the tech so advanced that it generates heat while operating (like a gaming computer) or something? Genuinely curious.
you need to keep the sensor cold so it has a clearer image
it has a easier time detecting infared waves when it is extremly cold
pretty sure its not exactly how it works, its meant to detect EM waves (IR) essentially not heat. due to blackbody radiations, the heat of the object emits these IR waves.
however still yes, cooling is required for better contrast and detection for a IIR seeker, afaik IR itself, the early aim9b and aim4 missiles had cooled seekers
Gaijin knowingly was adding fake vehicles for years, this is nothing out of the ordinary.
the only thing I can think of as being “fake” recently was the F-16AJ and people were demanding that be removed as well. since then I dont think a single “fake” tank or plane has been added and I agree both the F-16AJ and the KH-38MT should be removed (if we really wanna get into it they should remove either the radar or the IRST on the Yak-141 as well)
Previous reply got flagged… Love the cope on this forum
I mentioned it as a plausibility of how it could work if it was real (its not)
this post also got flagged.
ironic
after 3000 posts … and 83 % for removing this thing … with will not happen ( gaijin don’t care ). Only users of that “thing” are happy to have it:)…
I was just pointing at the fact how Gaijin knowingly will add fake things for the sake of it. They also remove those only when proper replacement come around.
So yeah, Gaijin has little reason to remove it at the moment.
certainly a double standard with some players, want OP things kept as are (XM800T) or fake things kept in game (R2Y2) despite not fitting in with a real vehicle only rule because they do well in them or they are OP or both (Ho-Ri and KH38MT).
dont forget f5c with fictional flare/chaff and aim9e which it never got irl
they don’t do this, Ho Ri still exists despite an SPG with more versatility being at the same BR.
dw XM800Ts HVAP is also fictional, its using a german shell on an American testbed and gaijin refused the bug report
APDS*
thats not true at all lmao, they add things like that when there is truly no option (F-16AJ) the KH-38MT out classes every other A2G weapon if everyone else had a missile equally as strong then I would say sure its fine but they dont. realistically the KH-29 is more of the counterpart to the AGM-65 the US equal at least would be something like SLAM-ER (not asking for it but thats the closest thing I can think of)
completely different class of missiles, kh59mk/mk2 is comparable to slam er
miss the part where I said the closest thing I could think of? realistically the KH-38s shouldnt have even been added to the game in the first place with still to this day zero counters from other countries
the most consistent things on this thread are the lack of proof of this missile and flags on posts because russia mains are not happy about the thread
this one flagged too jeez man
Do you have any example aside the kh-38mt where they have “defaulted” to the best possible quality of thermal displays? Because as far as I can remember I don’t really remember other sights that are as good, and that are coming from obscure vehicles ( for example 2S38 is a test vehicle, but there’s information about it if I am not wrong).
Perhaps we should take the lack of response to the fake weapon as acceptance that these things are now the new standard and re-open allll the bug reports etc that were denied due to “lack of evidence”.
I’ll take the ZA-HVM for starters.
AIM-9B had uncooled seeker, hence the poor sensitivity
Subsequent variants had cooled seekers
