su-25T also should get khod pod

It’s just a matter of time, there’s no way they continue to dodge and weave all the request for the Khod pod and ARH missiles right? Right…?

I feel like it’s just going to get ignored again. Though the dedication to it is nice, thank you.

Go on and tell my why missiles like the RVV-AE and R-271 shouldn’t be added to the SU-39? It’d be entirely fine at the BR of 12.7 and would function as the counter to the AV-8B+.
People coped and whined about the SU-25BM receiving the R-73Es because it was thought to be a unnecessary and unbalanced addition and look where we are now.

Ah yes other buy your ways to fox 3 good idea hah?
Because it couldn’t use them. Yes the radar was capable of guiding them, but the aircraft wasn’t capable of firing and using them. It was a strike aircraft, an the missiles were mounted as a proof of concept. Gaijin also believes this, and it’s why they won’t be added. The same thing goes for the fake MiG-23-98 which also only mounted missiles as a proof of concept.

This has been a option for a while now, the JF-17 has access to the SD-10A, the JA 37DI also has access to the AIM-120s and we’re soon going to get the SU-33 albeit without ARH missiles but performance similar to top tier aircraft.

This may of been true for the SU-25T and SU-25TM but this is just entirely untrue for the SU-39. The SU-39 was the successor in ways of the SU-25TM integrating a new FCS named after itself called the “SUO-39P”. The FCS was introduced onto the aircraft to ease implementation of new missiles like the RVV-AE and R-271 which haven’t been used on previous SU-25 variants before.
The goal for the SU-39 initiative was to produce a all weather multirole aircraft derived from the SU-25 for lower income nations such as Ethiopia or Egypt, not a strike aircraft like you mentioned prior.
I’m not sure where you’ve gotten the idea that the SU-39 could never actually fire both the RVV-AE or R-271.
This has been argued to death anyways, you should’ve known this already

Gaijin ignores the issues with the kopyo-25. They ignore the sufficient evidence for the Khod FLIR. They ignore that they could ask Leninetz or the Patriot Park for info about the Kinzhal-S, as the addition of the radar could create a very unique playstyle for the Su-39, using the vikhr as a SARH guided A-G weapon.
Hell, I bet the VN-001 had less unclassified information about it to be found, and still Gaijin added it in the Mi-8AMTSh-VN – which also barely entered active service.

Gajin accepted a bug report about it. How would they not add them?
Literally bruh

I did not know about it. I was thinking before that it could get a “Su-25TM” modification, but this could interesting too.
its from book where devs take informations etc, so its first source

So the Su-25T not receiving the Khod from the start also was a “balancing decision”.
This and the datamined container make me believe the devs know much more than the actual state of those aircraft imply.
mere bias and that’s it, the only aircraft with built-in thermal imaging is the su-25sm3. why give the soviets the rest? E.g. mig29smt/su27sm lacks sapsan-e. Also why give it.
What is that thermal imager? Russia produces it? I did have heard about sometimes but never took time to search it systematically.
Not only that, but did you know that right now the only SARH A-G weapon in the game is the vikhr on the Su-39? Keeping that mind is good to remember the mess that the kopyo-25 is, tracking the void and losing locks on MOVING TARGETS. Using the vikhr plus the radar could have been a absolutely unique play style if Gaijin haven’t butchered it completely.
Funny how my bug report about the VN-001 on the Mi-8AMTSh-VN having the wrong radar band got a reply one day later, but already been four days of no response to the bug report I made about the Kopyo-25, which has strong evidence.

Second Dev Server, more copy-paste premiums and neither of missing pods, even less a fix on the Kopyo-25, which is the bare minimum.
