Kh-29D? That thing doesn’t exist iirc, only being mentioned in some papers. As for KH-25MTP, I think it was made, but unsure if it was tested, so idk if it’s something like a valid replacement for the 38MT

well then consider me corrected
It’s a form of KORNET, I can’t remember exactly rn, I linked it to someone before I think it’s 9M-133D or something?
So they just guessed the missiles infos and capabilities at this point? And they deliberately made it so OP?

kormaran can track air targets though :) (friend streamed it 2 weeks ago was really silly)
F-16AJ was on paper
It wasn’t changed because of a video.
It was changed due to multiple documents.
The video, which wasn’t a video on time, was only used as supporting material.
No, they guessed the IR tracking method to be similar to that of AGM-65.
The range has documentation cause the Kh-38 itself is real and the motors are the same.
What’s in contention is the seeker + missile combo, which we know the seeker exists, and we know how it works which isn’t like what’s in-game.
What we don’t know is if the Kh-38MT entered mass production.

Yes, i know, however the plane the proposal was based on was very much real. The F-16J was gonna be a YF-16 sparrow testbed with a different radar. Think of it like a proposed export sale of a vehicle then something entirely made up. Assuming, of course, gaijin gave us the right vehicle, which they didn’t. The F-16AJ in game is basically entirely made up, i wish they would’ve gave us the real one though, lighter weight and 6x sparrows would be so fun.

u spoke about tanks didnt you?
and for that to happen u need a hard lock on the plane first and not like the AS34 turns well
If that’s the case then they can just remove it from the game which would be very helpful.
Changing the way its seeker works would have the same impact.
It’d no longer be usable as a mass-fragging missile anymore, at least from my understanding of the documents so far.
If you change the seeker you basically just make it a Kh-38ML, which we already have.

That’s my thinking as well, though having a mixed loadout would make it semi-effective. 1 or 2 MTs and the rest MLs.
It just won’t be OP in the sense of mass-frags anymore.
Only the F-15E and I would still be capable of that until new SPAA arrives.
And there is only people Guessing that the Kh-38mt don’t exist. While there info from butowsky or RU gov stating the contrary.
Kh-29D its pretty much confirmed to never exist. What he must be thinking its Kh-29TD. That its the suppose to be IR seeker of the Kh-29TE that its able to be used at night.

Then please provide this primary source information that a KH-38MT existed in its entirity and has been test fired

U again…
SRAAM is actually crap compared to 38mt

F-15E has the Pantsir as equivalent to frag, KH38MT doesn’t have any.
You do actually, proving something exist is exactly what you can do of the two. it’s quite literally impossible to prove the non-existence of something. The entire thread is ment to try to find proof of the missiles functional existence, If you are just claiming things without said proof then what is the point of commenting?

I think the discussion is whether the MT’s seeker exists at all, not how to balance it.
I’m actually not that opposed to keeping the Kh-38MT in game for balance reasons as long as:
- Other nations get comparable munitions: e.g. Brimstones get FnF
- We drop the “muh historical accuracy” shtick for the R2Y2’s, Panther II, Tiger 10,5, and Coellian

I didn’t see any source regarding how the seeker works being wrong in the game
Care to share that source or a link to that post?
