I most have missed those data mines. Last I checked the 38MT was last week.
Yeah I doubt a nation fielding thermals only 300 more meters effective than Leopard 2A5 thermals on their T90M by their own accounts will spend the money to fire and destory gen 3 thermals on a missile.

tbf irl gen =/= resolution theoretically there could be gen 1 thermals with better resolution than gen 3
unfortunately in game thermals are designated solely by generation without taking resolution into account so you get weird situations like this

The seeker head. (If it actually exists in use) is VASTLY over preforming.
I agree that its over preforming

It’ll be some “engine limitation/code issue” bs, just watch

it isnt, devs know the issue using stated generation for thermal resolution causes but decided its worth it over trying to find resolution for all systems that would need to be added

They’ll find a way to make up some reason to leave as-is lol
I mean tbf I wouldn’t mind a KH29 or something with Ir. Just something so RU doesn’t have nothing but again I haven’t been fully convinced they don’t exist. Rather they seem to be in small numbers
They still have TV guided munitions
Idk how people dont realize that the current kh29 is already better than mavs despite being tv guided instead of ir
Don’t think the KH-38MT should be completely removed instead just remove the KH-38s from the Su-30SM
Kh-25MTP comes to mind.
Plus a whole lot more russian aircraft can get it.
So overall it would be a win.
Its literally a faster maverick D with a bigger warhead but a similar seeker (bad but IR).
Most nations dont have F&F munitions in the first place, and basicly only 2 have true standoff F&F munitions (Russia/France) (65D’s are also standoff, but theyre so slow and their attack vector is so bad theyre very easy to deal with).
AASM-IR may be getting nerfed, potentially to the point of being unable to hit moving targets in the near future, which basicly would just leave the Kh-38MT in a class of its own.
So RU wont “have nothing”, Kh-38ML are likely still going to be top 3 best AGM’s in-game, they wont just be 6 free kills in 10 seconds easy mode missiles like the 38MT’s are.

If they hit more than 25% of the time I’d agree. But if you move away the TV guidance seems to not do anything, especially when every other nation has had a form of IR weapons.
Things at lower BR such as the A-4E with Walleyes and 3 Saclos guides munitions has been able to do crazy things for years, but that’s never talked about.
kh29td too
A report just got accepted which gives the 38 ML/MT 70km launch range
I heard there’s contention abt that.
I do think there might be one but I’m not sure
