The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

and there is an answer to that, some tanks have started having their smoke having chaff elements integrated into their smoke just add that

With how much creative liberties they’ve taken over the past few years (BOL, KH-38MT, AJ168, etc) why they don’t just make smoke block MMW like IR seekers is beyond me. No one would complain

yeah I have no idea not to mention the IOG on the brimstone is trash so if you do pop smoke there is no hope in hell it will hit lol

I really have no idea. When they announced the Mi-28NM with Khrizanetams I thought they were finally going to do that but nope

I own all three planes… last time I checked, the Su-34 literally has 0 thermal pods guy.

The Su-25sm3 isn’t played because it’s terrible in pretty much every game mode, and too slow, and too incapable of defending itself.

That’s why the Su-30 is spammed just as the leo2a7v is. It’s in a good position, and can defend itself, it’s a jack of all trades.

I mean… the 38MT’s seeker is Gen2/3 and has a very good zoom so there’s absolutely 0 need for a separate TGP

Especially in air, all subsonic attackers past 10.0 are in a really really bad state

But is it thermal ?

Yep, I just said Gen 2/3

Kh38mts internal seeker outperforms a number of nato tpods like the TIALD

How do you activate it? As on Xbox at least, there is no keybind for seeker thermal, this is why I didn’t know that.

Exact same keybind to turn on NVD/Thermal in the TGP/TPV

It’s a few planes that finally got thermals, nato aircraft have had them for quite some time

It must’ve been bugged when I flew the Su-34 in ground then, because that was not an option, granted I only flew the Su-34 shortly after it came out. Then it’s been collecting dust

With the exception of the AGM-65D’s thermals and the LANA FLIR navigation pod, I don’t remember any NATO aircraft having TGPs with IR before the F-16C and AV-8B+/Harrier Gr.7 came out

I’m talking thermals in general. Acquisition of a target is key over all.

That’s why I like the A-6e tram

TILAD on the Jaguar GR.1A and the Tornados
