Yes I oppose CAS and want all of it gone, but that happening is mostly out of the picture by now.
With that out of the way, I want planes to be balanced out appropriately if their deletion isn’t something Gaijin is planning to do.
I also had a chuckle at not hitting +90% pK in the best conditions haha.

I.e. the numbers do not reflect the actual performance of the missile …

I oppose ground vehicles and want all of them destroyed :)

As of right now that makes no functional difference at all in game as long as you have a targeting pod.
That is not ideal conditions just ‘non countermeasure’. So doesn’t rule out other stuff.
this christmas i wish all ground vehicles a happy “target destroyed”
Possible for sure, another possibility is as they all share the same INS/GPS guidance unit, that unit could also have not so great performance resulting in similar pK across the various versions.

1- GNSS in non-jammed environment works near perfectly (so the 80% Pk doesn’t make sense, unless the motor and other equipment are just junk)
2- All the variants having the same Pk without CM and the same Pk with CM is a dead giveaway that those numbers mean little to none …
For example for SALH and IR variants operating in LOBL mode the GNSS is essentially irrelevant … But the Pk is still the same 80% …
You do you.
I guess some find enjoyment in clicking at things that can’t fight back.
People raged out about this very stance when it was to the detriment of Abrams.
I don’t think this is the right standard to hold.
Lots of stuff would be very different if this was strictly followed.

Good one.
Did this guy just apply GRB top tier gameplay loop (dogshit) to Air gameplay loop (peak, tied with naval)?
most people run the Su35SM3, Su34 and Su30SM with no targetting pod as the first 2 dont have thermals and the last one has only gen 1, so the MT has far superior thermals and zoom to the pods

The T220 and Kh-38 have the same resolution
But the pod has better zoom and much better angles
Somehow the same Kh-38MT has ±60 deg angular limit on the Su-34 but ±30 deg on the Su-30SM … Quality game …
Perhaps intentional to make the TGP seem more useful …
wild considering its meant to be only gen 1 thermals I have been told it also just means you can only carry 5 and why sacrifices a free kill
Okay I went looking through some of my sources again and made some interesting discoveries.
Idk where that 780x780 resolution comes from though, but according to weapon delivery manuals, the ATA gate size is 45x45, for the G. and 25x25, for the D, pixels x lines in size. However you can’t really use this at all to figure out the total resolution. But with this it’s likely that the Mav total resolution does sit in the couple hundred pixel x lines resolution yes. But if you have a source for that 780x780 resolution, please share. All I can find is literal one unsourced reddit comment, which obviously won’t fly.
Now for zoom. In game it has a 30° to 15° FoV, resulting in the bad zoom. But I have found in the AV-8B tacman that this is incorrect, as well in an AF magazine (march 1983) by a factor of 10. Convenient. Every weapon delivery manual I have states 30-15° in a copy pasted datasheet essentially, it’s likely just one print error that crept its way into all of these (literally all text is also copy pasted, word for word everything is the same for decades). Real FoV is 3.0 and 1.5°, so they probably forgot a decimal point. These values also make a LOT more sense. A large FoV of 30-15° is basically unheard of really for a seeker.
For WT this means that zoom will be 24.6-49.1x. AV-8B tacman however has hard numbers of 8-16x magnification, but using that document is kinda eh right now, but right now it’s the only primary source confirming the FoV otherwise. But if I find anther source this means I can go on to make a bug report on FoV/zoom and another (unrelated) for mav rocket engine performance (permission to use source is pending).
Spoiler
Mentions like these (in the same magazine) make sense too then:
Anyways this should also shed some light on the optical zoom levels of the Kh-38MT that people seem to complain about. These zoom levels are based on real zoom levels of the Kh-29T, so it’s not too crazy to believe the Kh-38MT would have something similar.

Also that suggests that it shouldn’t have the visible light channel like it does now …
Correct, but that guess to be a game limitation. You can not have a NVD/IR without a normal sight as of now. It impacts any and all weapons like that.
