The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

Well a fake missile being the most overpowered in game going to the Russians sure does smell like a steaming pile of fresh ruskie bias.

Plenty of people in this thread, kh38mt users and not are all agreeing for the most part that the fake ordinance should begone from the game from this.

The missile can be balanced by giving things like brimstone full capability and adding American options however this was not the point of the thread, this is only to speak of the lack of evidence that it was ever more than a potential weapon mockup

Not like F-16s were doing the same with jdams or anything. Your logic here is very brittle

Yup, you keep putting words in my mouth, but have the audacity to call me biased sheesh… 😂 like how do you even think you have a valid opinion after editing my posts to make me say different things?

I agree all CAS needs a nerf bar helicopters. Not Russian specific cas

Gaijin has removed or refused weapons on vehicles for less, so unless they have actual proof that these missiles are used irl they should be removed. We all know they would immediately nerf any non Russian or Chinese vehicle for this reason.

And this is coming from someone who has all 3 kh38mt slingers.

Me: watches the jdam spam many updates ago. (These are laser guided by the way)
Me: watches the brimstone spam (and brimstone nukes a few updates ago, and still continues).
Me: watches the KH-38MT spam currently.

Hmm… I sense a pattern here Scooby doo.

I despise all CAS elements, yes the KH-38MT is easier, but I’ve seen plenty of good jdam and good brimstone players

Including helicopters, prior to the KH38MT most my top tier CAS deaths were KA52 helis, and first spawn rocket spamrushers at 8.0 are never not annoying

It’s funny how threads like this are always used by single nation players to advocate for their opponents to get hit with a nerf stick while at the same time asking for something that would be even more unbalanced and, depending on the implementation, even less realistic.

Where is the documentation for kh38mt 25x zoom and 3rd gen thermals

Huh? That wasn’t a thing at all.

Spam? There was like 3 competent players with brimstones for every 1000 matches. I remember meeting a very annoying one. Guess what? He folded like a paper fan after me putting 1 AHEAD round in his general vicinity. Because he’s just forced to play 2-3km radius near the battlefield.

Currently with su-30, a patch ago with su-34, a couple of patches ago with su-25(something something).

That’s quite an understatement. I’m ready to bet 100$ on me being able to have a successful KH-38MT run - without using my hands at all. Feet only.
I did it in another failure of a tank game many years ago and won. So I know what I’m capable of.
(It is actually funny that situation is quite similar)

only LJDAMs (and paveway 4s with much shorter guidance time) on tornado ASSTA1 (3) and tornado Gr.4, both of which are significantly shittier platforms and LJDAMS/P4s are hardly comparable to actual FnF munitions in both effectiveness or ease of use

few updates ago it came only on UK tornado, now i love playing tornadoes but i can tell you their flight performance is giga ass and youre forced to use the environment to your advantage 90% of the time to to anything well. Id hardly even expect brimstone spam to exist prior to typhoon getting added.

Like you said a few lines down, the Kh38 spam is easier, because the missile is quite literally the most broken missile ingame, incomparable to “brimstone spam” or “jdam spam” or any other spam you think about.

which is completely different in both how you play something with JDAMs/Brimstones compared to something like Kh38.

Either way this is going somewhat off topic

By few I think you mean one update. The last major update was what added them.

There’s a good reason the devs ignore this place.

or because they aren’t competent enough to back up its existence via documentation which very sure that people waiting for dev or whoever to prove it.

If they were ignoring the forums then they wouldn’t have Community managers to wrangle us in.

That’s the point, the community managers deal with this place, not the devs. I don’t blame them.

They’ve been ignoring every single thread that asks question about their dubious additions/modellings. From 2A7V thread, thru Leclerc/Abroomz ones, to this. I won’t say why, but it certainly isn’t because of people arguing things that aren’t 100% on-topic (the missile dev fx is quite active in some threads that I’d say are incomparably more unruly than this one), but I think most of us know “why” really.

Anyhow, this is already off-topic so i’m leaving it at this.

That certainly is an issue we are seeing here.

If we are going to be adding fake stuff there should at least be real stuff at least on par, which there just isn’t.

When I used brimstone as an example I should have clarified that I think it’s ability to just find a target would not be a good addition, If it was limited to FnF on manually designated targets only it would be fairer to everyone else who hasn’t got such a system in service yet.

I’m just most familiar with brimstone from being british

They don’t have to, not their job. It’s well below their pay grade
