like the R2Y2s it’ll very likely be removed shortly after the thai ground subtree is added…
and finally 3) for that matter the Ho-Ri Prototype isn’t real either.
No, because the XF-2A was right there. Besides, japan did see the F-16A in action, much like Sweden officials and the T-80U/Mi-28. However it was and is still a poor choice.
Far as I’m aware nobody has come up with evidence the seeker even exists or that it was fitted to the Kh 38M missile body.
How many hours has the Kh 38 MT been in service with russia? Or the F-20 in USAF service?
It’s a fake vehicle regardless, why does that matter ?
That wasn’t my point at all.
They got added to the game as complete fiction while they rejected who knows how many vehicles due to lack of evidence.
Just because I tried (or saw someone else using it) a new phone in the shop it doesn’t mean it’s mine. That’s a pretty lame reason for adding a vehicle to a specific nation, it’s even worse than captured vehicles and in line with adding something just because you saw it on the battlefield.
As I said, missile’s kinematics are real and IR seekers aren’t something unfamiliar to RU, so that thing feels way more legit than most fakes we had in the game.
It an ASRAAM, which is real and in service, even mounted on the same aircraft the Typhoon would be fitted too. IR seekers are something Britain is familar with. But unlike the ASRAAM has a heat warhead and intended for A2G use. But it never went beyond this mock-up
So can they add this to the Harrier Gr7/9, Tornado Gr4 and Typhoon as an FnF weapon in the absence of Brimstone ?
at least the typhoon missile will be on a airframe that’s not too difficult for air defence systems to handle. it would be high risk still but with good rewards
IR seekers arent sth unfamilar to RU said that when RU relied on TV for decade until now
also it would definitely make sense to put 25x zoom lense and gen 3 thermal on a disposable and definitely exploded battery yes?
Of course, many sites say that there is TV/IR detection. But in fact, we have no data on these containers, nor do we have data on the cameras located inside the complex, and given that there is no cutout for the front and side hemispheres, we can say that it is designed to detect targets directly under the aircraft, which makes it even more useless than the useless Mercury container, which uses the Hod thermal imager model
You can see rectangular window from below.
I have also some pictures from Su-34 which looks like thermal image (but is possible that its only contrast TV). I would post it but I cant because from recent conflict image. I can post to DM if you want.
Back then their standards were different. It is a very old vehicle.
It is! However, the cat is out of the bag and it’s not going back in.
Alright so when can we expect the J7W2? After all, the airframe was very much real (there’s even footage of it taxiing around under its own power) and jet engines weren’t something alien to imperial japan, they had several. So by those standards it should be added.
Nobody has been able to prove it’s not zero. And unlike the F-20, nobody has even seen the damn thing in flight. It’s not in the manufacturer’s website either.
There is also precisely zero data, subjective or otherwise, on exactly how good the seeker is. This topic only exists because OP wanted to know if the Kh-38MT could even track tanks or if it was like the recently added Penguin ASM.
