Chaos in the Skies: The Devastating Impact of the Su-25SM3 in War Thunder

Like a bad penny, right on cue

So you’re here to defend CAS? Or defend the Su-25 against my and other peoples’ criticisms of it?

Cause I ain’t getting the Su-25SM3 anytime soon. Not good enough.

No one has said that?

Ok

Then what point are you making?

Huh? I am more confused now.

Is optical lock dependent on height off of ground? If so, how does the IR sensor differ from the Optical sensor? Since whatever the optical sensor wouldn’t be able to see through, the IR seeker would not anyway. (Assuming that the thing that breaks the lock here is the trees and other obstacles)

When it comes to this, how is this significant? Since optical lock has further locking distances on both systems why would you use IR?

Finally unlocked it, its pretty freaking fantastic.

Super fast, the SM3 has great thermals, tbh idk if the TV or Laser is better because the laser has INAV so you can pull off some BS maneuvers. Also the TNT blast is so massive smokes are pretty much irrelevant so long as you can just get it near by

The sensors in the game don’t work at the same time. So you either fire with IR or optic lock. Optic lock basically loses track if you fly between trees etc.

IR lock is necessary if you want to shoot low flying target. Optic lock will fail to track.

except it doesnt

if you actually did some research youd find out the whole plane turns black on the first stinger

if black = 0 HP, then what the fuck is the next stinger gonna do?

did you ever think about that with your nut in your head? su25s become insanely slow if even one part of it is black, while yes, a wing does not break off (you have to kill the spars), the damage sustained already makes it hard to control, any minor turn bleeds most speeds below 300 kmh(which is a death sentence)

maybe stop using the ideology that: if not a ball of flame → keep shooting until ball of flame appears

Ka-52M can take 2 LMUR in addition to vihkrs…

it may be 4

But you lost vikhers.

i guess, kill potential was lowered but lethality was heightened

2 lmur per pylon max of 8 or 8 vikhr and 6 lmur

The fact that people are willingly defending this addition goes to show how delusional the community has become.

This is straight up just another KA-50 moment again where Russia gets another piece of CAS that just obliterates any sort of balance that existed.

The IR seeker of 9M37 is 1°FOV and 0.5° IRCCM FOV.
This is basically best IR seeker IRCCM in game.
Stop crying.

Literally not? Learn to read data and numbers? Or are you incapable of simple reading?

You think Magic-2/R-73 is unflareable or something? Learn the game.

Now I will prove you wrong.
