With a targeting pod it’s alright.
Not really because youll only get a point lock and not a track lock. It makes quite a difference when the vehicles can move so quickly
I’m not going to be complaining if Russia can no longer take over matches with a blatantly OP weapon. The Kh-29 is still better than many other nations get.

Only germany would have worse munitions, with their brimstones. Every other nation either gets IR mavs/bombs. or is also stuck on the TV seekers of the Kh-29 (only china)
China doesn’t
Read the rest of my sentence lmao
Doesn’t make sense though because Germany also has Kh-29s.
Russia would get 5 of them on a single aircraft with a targeting pod.
Yes 2 Kh29s on an aircraft with no tgp or anything. I didnt count it here because its not a top tier aicraft

In any case, Russia doesn’t have the capability for large scale manufacturing of IIR seekers for missiles which is why they rely on TV seekers like that in the Kh-29. That’s not a licence for Gaijin to add fictional missiles, that’s just a reality of playing the Russian tech tree. Other tech trees have had to put up with similar capability gap issues.

It was not my point. I was simply saying that the Kh-29 is not equivalent to the Mavericks/Bombs with IR seekers

It’s close enough in my opinion and experience. And if others see it as not then it’s too bad really, that’s just what Russia uses.
you cant use the kh29 in night battles
Yeah, and how many night battles do you get. I get one maybe ever 100 regular matches. Besides, you can opt out of them anyway.

Its not just night though, any sort of bad weather, fog, low clouds, low sun make it impossible to use effectively
29TD is still better than 65B tho

Fog also significantly effects then range of IR seekers, and clouds will completely stop them. You can test it for yourself if you like.
IR and TV are two different things.
I know… but they are both fire and forget via contrast
the thing is that 38mt also have IOG which even if it lose lock it will try to find a target and guide itself there

You can’t use 65Bs either yet here we are
