Not unless you tell it to to. Imagine thats a MG position and the heat source next to it is a car.
The car is no threat but the MG position is.
I want the missile to go impact where I have locked it.
They are. At least some of them, if they have IOG they can be launched outside of the seeker range, for example hellfire. If they lack IGO they are forced to be launched in LOBL, for example laser mavericks.

Maybe someone has already suggested that the Gaijins introduce the GBU-53/B StormBreaker? Or is it even worth suggesting?
This would be a great response to the introduction of the KH-38MT.

Info was provided for the GBU-39A, GBU-53 & AGM-187A alongside, the reports for the GBU-39/A.

It’s MMW like Brimstone should be so if anything it will be locked to SAL only if added at all. It’s also unpowered so it is even easier to intercept with guns than the Brimstone. I think the US has better options.
Also there’s likely some limitations to the IR seeker present or at least there may be a debate on it like there was for AASM-HAMMER.

The abomination known as the Kh-38MT is still in the game.
Absolute clownery.

Like? Remember you do get 2x / 4x per station, so they can be massed. Sure if you need something to die other PGMs, JSOW, CBU’s or HARMs are better but the magazine depth it offers is definitely a step up in terms of F&F performance
It practically does it all, short of Capital ships though it is worth noting that seeker doesn’t identify, only classify targets as specified. and that due to it’s use of a Ram Air Turbine, range is effectively solely a function of release conditions, though in exchange takes a drag penalty.
and that the Warhead looks fairly similar to the AGM-114R’s so the effective radius against heavy armor isn’t great.

Lets be honest, it’s not going anywhere until a proper replacement is introduced.
You do get that the Kh-29T and non-IIR Kh-38 variants will be untouched and will remain perfectly viable, yes?
Hopefully Gaijin will additionally produce information sufficient for each airframe they are equipt on, as one must for all other additions.
The fact that it wouldn’t be removed until an alternate already exists proves just how much people think of it as a crutch.

He thinks Kh-38ML is not enough, fyi.

Well, Su-30SM probably shouldn’t keep the Kh-38ML either, as there seem to be no evidence that it can carry the targeting pod required for self designation …
Not how it is implemented in game. See videos in these two posts as examples:

Or a short description from an official tutorial:

Timestamp doesn’t work for some reason, skip to 10:39.
funny thing is that the coelian got removed because it only existed as an mockup.
instead they added ost wind of which there isnt liabel proof it was ever built.
weve reached over 5000 messages in this thread with little to no response from the devs. Idk, @Smin1080p_WT you maybe wanna do something?

38ML isn’t really a valid replacement for SM3 and SU-34, as the time to effectively use all 4/6 of them will drastically increase when compared to the 38MT.
29TD is self explanatory.
Both shouldn’t get sht if Tornado GR4 still stuck with SAL Brimstone and both don’t even deserve to have MT at the first place especially MT is fake missile.

Well the Ostwind did exist. 44 were made from 1944 till the end of the war
The ostwind 2 is the one that people say doesnt exist
Gr4 can carry 3x AGMs + targeting pod + 6x Brimstones at 12.3.
SM3 can carry 4x 38MTs at 12.7 while also having much worse A2A ability.
I think you got your wires crossed.
SU-34 is almost a full BR higher so it being better overall makes sense, especially when you take massive compression into account.
Is that taking the GRB BR or the ARB BR into account? Cause the BR difference in ground battles (where A2G munitions matter) is only .4
Gr4 is at 12.3 while SU-34 is at 13.0.
It got moved up in the last BR changes.
