The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

The Flakpanzer 341 coelian was removed from the game due to the turret only beeing a wooden mockup. The chassis and weapons existed and worked but the vehicle never was functionnaly completed.

Afaik, the proof of the Kh-38MT existing is literally the same. The rest of the Kh-38M missile exists and a mockup was made, but there is no proof of the missile ever being completed or test. The situations are equivalent.

Again, as I said … Snail sometimes does as it pleases …

They once had a rule about “no afterburning jets” …

But brochures are generally considered a valid source.

That is the evidence that most users in this thread is requesting and looking for. As well as arguing that without such evidence it shouldn’t be in game.

I personally don’t have an opinion either way, i just want people to discuss using correct information and argue their point based on the same knowledge and from the same evidence. After that everyone is free to have their own opinions about things.

Hes a radar dev, thats not gonna help afaik

I understand

I’m just pointing out that requiring proof beyond what the country/company of origin claims is unreasonable …

he has earlier given opinions on other missile systems that are non radar

Following on from this, that looks like a refracting telescope. I don’t see evidence of a primary or secondary mirror in there. Unfortunately, this doesn’t really help us in any way regarding if it was iir or not, both laser guided and iir munitions have used refracting telescopes in the past.

However, given the antireflective coatings, I’m more willing to believe it’s IIR. That’s a large gimbal assembly and likely has space for a dewar of some kind or a compact Stirling cycle cooler.

But it could still have been a mock-up/prototype for bench testing and not a production unit.

It’s not or we wouldn’t have “marketing lie” meme

They do, or Eurofighter would have 8xAMRAAMS loadout

f15C would have 16 AMRAAMs

if he goes around giving his opinions on different weapon systems then i don’t see a problem with it here
DSA

equivalent could be hawk for usa. don’t see a reason for them to not add equivalents when it is timely. datamine does not mean we will not get counterpart for when the time is for it

im pretty sure this is for a SEAD mode

thats better then

Equivalent? No. HAWK was good but it is comparatively short range and a large sparrow instead of a command guided missile. Nike would be comparable.

Data mines state that this is event related.

not really a mockup

oh yeah arent those prototype racks? or are they finished and just not in production?

if so thats even more real than mock up

thats to ferry the amraams iirc
