Bullshit, 9Ls and 7Ms wasn’t too advanced. It would also be bigger than any of the F-16As (more weight), with more internal fuel (more weight), and a more powerful radar (more weight), with an engine barely any better than them. The upside being… two more sparrows. At a time where we still had 100m multipathing which made radar missiles way less important than now.
And another difference is that I’m not arguing the F-16AJ should stay in the game - despite being more real than the Kh-38MT and not balance-breaking at all - it should be replaced by the XF-2A at the same BR and be actually gone for good.
That’s the ONLY part that actually makes it a Kh-38MT instead of an ML. If that’s missing, there is no Kh-38MT and it is completely fictional.
The guns in the Kikka actually existed, instead of a seeker that nobody has been able to prove its existence, not to mention its capabilities which is how this thread got started:
So ultimately no, the Kh-38MT is far more fake than any of the “fake” japanese planes in the game. Even at their worst, a plane which was never built, still had every single part needed to make one built and tested separately.
Personally, I really dislike the whole captured vehicles thing. I kinda get it with lend-lease stuff but it just dilutes the flavour of nations, you know?
Both lent and captured vehicles have more grounds to be added to the game than trialed ones, as those were never really owned by the nation in question. Same reason why Swedish T-80U should get the axe.
I’m just pointing out the fact not all fakes are treated equally.
Because the weapons existed and are fully operational in the German MiG-29G (can’t be said for the Kh-38MT tho)
A country not adopting a certain weapon does not exclude them from getting the weaponry available to the compatible airframe, this is Gaijin’s own policy btw.
