What case? I don’t care about Kh-38MT, if they remove it or keep, I haven’t even played actively top tier about a year already
Not when it comes to player suggested additions / removals, they aren’t as they fairly evidently require proof beyond a suspicion of whatever configuration being at very least plausible when it comes to aircraft stores.
It’s more so a public (and fairly popular ) request to provide whatever they have on the missile. It also wouldn’t be the first time that Ordnance was removed from the live server due to causing balancing issues, remember the S-13DF?
29.06.2021 (Server update)
- Mi-28N, Ka-52 — S-13DF missile has been changed to S-13OF with the А-IX-2 explosives weight equal to 6.9 kg. An incorrect calculation of TNT equivalent required for striking armoured targets has been corrected that led to an ammunition type change for balance reasons.
So which missile has less evidence? You clearly have one in mind.

It was removed because it’s thermobaric rocket that used such a TNT equivalent with damage of HE ammo that caused unrealistic damage to vehicles.
Doesn’t metter missile or a whole vehicles, there are plenty of fakes
You all just cope too much about pixels.
So why not just change the Re factor / put a hard cap the performance for FAE warheads like they had with HEAT? Ultimately the mechanics that are implemented or not are entirely up to Gaijin so it wouldn’t make a difference.
So they why specifically qualify missiles then? If you can’t qualitatively point to something that is more egregious.

Kh-38MT is not even the fakest missile
It’s more just weighing my chances of getting other Prototype / mockup ordnance added across the board, since if standards they require are changing, I’ve got a number of reports to write for a whole host of items & airframes.

more like limited time unlimited funding
Because RE was correct. Thermobaric warheads have high RE, but it doesn’t mean they work same as HE against vehicles, because they are made to fight infantry. And so S-13DF was replaced with same rocket just with warhead that can work in game properly.
You dicided I specifically qualify missiles, I just said KH-38 is missile. Fake stuff is fake stuff. I changed missile to “thing” so nobody will misunderstand.
they can still do what im pretty sure they did with HEAT warheads and just cap the armor thickness they can over pressure through
like that they would be very effective against light vehicles but ineffective against anything else
Replacing with already working mechanic is easier way for them than trying to find out how good thermobaric warheads are against armor for a single rocket.
It still gets adjusted all the time for a number of explosives because there is practically no actual consensus between sources, likely due to manufacturing differences over the years, and better documentation / standardization.
And so would HEAT warheads having 87.5% (once you account for explosive mass equivalence) the kill radius of GP-HE, not a hard cap of 20mm RHAe as is currently implemented.
Can we even receive the Western counterparts to the -13OF? it’s not as if HE-F warheads don’t exist for various 2.75 & 5" rockets.

You have Zuni
Does it have the HE or HEAT warhead?
HE Zuni would be so good
In game there are HEAT Zuni only I think but iirc they have damage on par with S-13. They both have HE pen of ~60mm
HE pen for HEAT Zuni is 62mm. What is written is not for all rockets, it’s just an example. There is no cap.

HEAT warhead overpressure is always very unreliable, its like they cant overpressure a plate that they directly hit or something, a HE frag zuni would be better
unrelated but they should add laser guided zunis for the av8b+ and late AH-1s

Concessions are made for gameplay, but the way you described Gaijin’s approach to approving weapons is completely made up and not how they work at all.
Literally the way HEAT shouldn’t overpressue…
They overpressue by HE damage coming from rocket sides
