So the missile that basically made top tier ground RB a chore to play for the last 12 months appears to not even be in service ?
I haven’t been a fan of the russian bias theory as of recently, but this and the manpads article from a few years back really make me raise an eyebrow
not even not in service, from all evidence/lack there of it seems to have been dropped before or during preliminary testing
so may have never even existed in a functioning form
Kikka, Ho-229, etc aren’t Russian planes.
If Kh-38MT was alone either in its over-performing seeker or its status in-game as over-powered compared to SPAA.
And obviously the manpad issue is a non-starter cause Soviets have the worst manpad irrelevant of how others are made in-game. Manpads are still balanced on their current state after all, not their ideal state.
This is the answer I expected.
Yes, but there’s a margin as by how much a missile overperforms AA. The thing is twice to thrice as fast as the next in line : AASM, which is already quite broken
The problem i have with the way the manpads were handled isn’t the raw statistics they have in game (yes stinger and mistral are better than igla in game), but the source they chose, and the way they handled it. A bit off topic though. The performance margin between those 3 should be quite bigger than it is right now, and quite frankly, they shouldn’t even sit at the same BR
There is a full video where the reload is even less than 5 seconds. So why did you assume that it is 6 seconds?
There were 2 images in there of them…
id guess they were the same images of mock ups that have been posted here like 100 times
or images of other variants
There’s also a video of 4 seconds for turret-rear ammo for 5+ rounds.
There were 2 different ones… Jesus because I main Russia, everyone thinks RU mains are dumb, which makes so little sense…

There is also something called fatigue, all in all you can’t complain with constant 5 sec, especially compared to others.
You mean these?
As those are the only “different” ones I can find, unless there is something in that Rosboronexport brochure, which I cannot open. One of them is also said to be a 38MTE
ive seen the bottom one posted here already, and the top one clearly has the grid for the KH38ML
Looks similar to the one shown during MAKS 2009, but I could be wrong
absolutely gamechanging photos in my opinion
I cant read quite read the designation on the side of the top image but it is clearly not X-38MTE
it looks like it says X-38MAE but could be X-38MLE
its in cyrilic this is how it would be writen in english because dont have a keyboard for that
the bottom one posibly is just X-38ME but cant quite be sure with how blurry it is
if you crop out everything but the images I dont see a reason why you cant post the ones you are thinking of
the top one is a L
I could see that due to the “mesh” infront of the missile, but I posted it anyway as those are the only different ones I could find on a post just mentioning it somewhat
