Or made up BS for marketing, that’s why i hate modern stuff in the game, if the missile is too problematic for in game balance and has only vague info available then it should not be added at all

Are you actually hitting the target in your simulations? because to me statshark isnt working for the km38mt
Doesn’t really matter since the traveled distance is 40km
hitting the target is not the point in what we are doing,
we only want to get teh speed of the kh-38 we dont care if it is hitting or not
The difference between “effective range” and “maximum ballistic range” is not much and certainly not as much as 40km vs 70km for such missiles.
Especially for HE warhead.
And they seldom state the ballistic range anyways as it’s quite useless …
It’s possible that the 70km range could be with lighter than 250kg warheads, as some sources state “Up to 250kg” for the warhead.
Again, hard to know for sure …

You are still missing the lower portion the flight at a higher air density
still nothin new?
looking at it again it seems like the 40km was limited by the booster
the average speed is around the same in both brochures
From speed info in brochures its clear the missile is much faster/has much lower drag in game than it does irl, could be bug reported for about 30%-40% less overall speed

cool. I take it that’s for all Kh-38M variants?
yeah they all have the same kinematics
the thing is that it is accelerating because of gravity
we would need to know the exact launch paremeters
by how far is it off? (in m/s or km/h)
350 m/s higher average speed in game, that’s mach 1 slower irl

Well, he kinda does have a point
It’s due to the missile trajectory not being a straight line
Because the trajectory is curved, the missile needs to travel more than 40km to hit a target 40km away from the launch point.
And the travel distance is capped to 40km in the game, so it can’t reach a 40km target (even a 40km slant range target) with a curved trajectory …
makes sense. so a universal kh-38 nerf is possible

hold your horses
I guess I should say a theoretical nerf is possible, if bug report gets accepted and then half a decade later implemented.
s’pose it has yet to be proven with better sources than just to a brochure, no?
yes, but i need to know where the brochures came from if i am to do a bug report, and i dont have much time for it so ill be thankful if someone can pick it up
makes sense.
