The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

I intercepted 2 Kh38s in random GRB games (one in my Mk.4M and the other in the new Namer), which prompted me to test some more with one of my friends.

My Mk.4M intercepted everything from mavs to Kh38 to even hammers. However trophy does feel a bit more inconsistent because it’s aps radar scan angles aren’t as good as those of iron fist on the black knight.

Well even on russian forum questions arise about KH-38MT existence.

Like, Russia does not have enough thermal devices even to give for its aircraft thermal sightpod.
But at the same time, by some miracle and Gaijin logic Russia use thermal as guidance system in disposable missile)))

where is RU forum?

They have been able to domestically produce thermals for a while now. At the scale compared to the west? No

woa now i know germans also get brimstone for some reason but FGR4 players arent moronic enough to do things like that.

if you can get through mid tier jets you do learn how to make jank work

man even the real life russian is saying this is questionable lmao

3rd Gen thermal guidance with 25x zoom. These missiles are essentially Mach 2 TGPs with a warhead.

interesting

My guy (@Mytho-GR1) speaking facts

That thing is just so hit or miss it’s annoying.
Either it shoots down everything, nothing at all or it goes off but you still take damage.

It doesnt matter if you are a moron or not, under the current codebase there is no provision for half the capabilities of MMW transceivers meaning they would be glorified A2G amraams and thus susceptible to the same faults. Otherwise we would have had the ARH versions of KH-25 and 29 by now and would likely have gotten the ARH KH-38 instead of the IR one.

Which is why gaijin said no ARH A2G munitions back during the tornado dev blog and talked explicitly about integrating natural and man made interference before bringing them to the game.
