Not necessarily, there are 11.3 Su-25’s with 2xr73, and if one says “muh subsonic brick” then may I enlighten them on 11.3 Indian jaguar with 2xmagic2 and half-decent, proper supersonic FM.
So would that be the best decision? Probably not, but when did that stop the snail.
The Su-25s you’re mentioning used to have a criminal damage model, capable to tank more than one missile, and with R-73s it was borderline broken. But now its quite alright, it takes damage properly compared to the A-10.
Then the Indian Jaguar should be 11.7 at the very least. Two wrongs doesn’t make a right.
So yeah thats the point, AMX is closer FM-wise to frogfoot that it is to the Jaguar, and I dont see much complaints about the former (except maybe on the event one in GRB, but who cares).
An upgraded Piranha would easily be on par with M2s, so big nono. It would be a nobrainer 11.7.
They aren’t part of the same plate they are two individual plates the North American Plate and South American Plate. Just like Africa and Europe on on different plates.
