The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

I see @dotSHINI is claiming that Morvran and I are wrong without telling anyone why we’re wrong.

Dang so they reverse-Germany’d the missile lmao
Wonder why they would do this…

Would Hammers actually destroy the game just like what MT did?

No bc if OP is right about Hammers (from what I’ve seen so far, he is), they will be relegated to laser guidance for moving targets

They already do.
IR guided Hammers are doing multi-frag runs.
And laser guided makes their platform even more untouchable.

I’m glad we’re finally getting new top SPAA this year.

Why? Aren’t they IIR?

They will add an underperforming SPAA to NATO full of bugs and inacuracies, but add a full capable SPAA to Russia with zero bugs.

Yeah but apparently their seeker is only good for semi-stationary targets, not moving stuff like tanks in WT

Hammer does not track targets. It activates it’s seeker 1,5km above the predesignated target, takes a picture of the general area, locates on it predesignated target and corrects itself onto it. IR hammer is a anti facility weapon, not anti tank

So just like JDAMs but with a little addition? Correct me if im wrong.

Doubt. 2S6 and Pantsir came in with a number of issues.
Pantsir still has issues in automatic mode despite manual mode being fixed later last year.
Time will tell what the new SPAA systems will have, and I’m hoping the “Pantsir is OP” crowd was ignored and they instead add SPAA that’s actually capable against CAS in-game.

Does that mean War Thunder’s implementation is over-performing according to your post’s claim here?

Entirely stationary. seeker functions in a similar method to the storm shadow where it only exists to match up the target ahead of it to the data stored in the weapon before launch.

Yes. It is a GPS with termila IR homing for situations like GPS jamming etc.

Yes
Want me to back it up?

Ok thanks

So basically boosted JDAM?

Effectively. iirc the addition of IIR can effectively nullify inertial drift by allowing correction onto the target in the terminal stage. Improved precision of the hammer something like tenfold against fortifications.

Thanks for the infos, but from what i heard there’s no capable US missile like 38MT that can be added.

Based on the Brochure 38MT would also be a anti facility usage

the SLAM is probably the only thing comparable I imagine, but even that is anti-fortification only (and subsonic)

I just needed clarification, I have no skin in this game other than losing out on air simulator functionality.
Air sim is where I use IR guided AGMs the most.

No, doesn’t that thing have a maverick seeker?
