I mean for about half of that year it was only on a Su-25. So people weren’t too bothered because it was a good missile on a shit platform unable to use the range to it’s fullest potential.
It was not until november 2024 with the addition of the Su-34 with Kh38s where Russian CAS became truely problematic.
Then why, on a plane that’s much more effective than the Su-34 (K/D is even twice as high!), are you getting fewer kills? What impacts the enemy team more: killing 3 players or killing 2? On all the BRs I’ve played(doesn’t matter whether the bombs are smart or dumb) killing 3 matters more than killing 2. But at top tier, I guess it’s different. Please, tell me how it works there.
No, as a britain main - i was infact angry at the capabilities of the Su-25SM3 and the fact all of our air defence was incapable of stopping it. Especially with the Pantsir shutting down any CAP sorties anyone wanted to try and use to counter said Su-25
Fair, top tier GRB definitely got much much worse when they added the Su-30SM.
It was still a potent CAS plane, The F-15E being added at the same time while bing much much better was a problem for the Su-34. Tornado Gr.4 had a similar problem.
People always freak out. Hell people freaked out about the T-90M and the truely idiotic people still rank it as one of the best MBTs in game.
But I kind of phrased it wrong, let me rephrase:
“Most sensible people weren’t too bothered until they added the Su-34 and Su-30 with Kh38s”
Me never dying to Pantsir in fighters…
I died to Pantsir 2 or 3 times in CAS.
1 was intentional, 1 was flying straight at it, 1 was forgetting my ranging.
Last i checked, your plane spawns at barely 10 miles. (Back then)
And unless you want to side-scrape the battlefield by over 9 Miles, then be my guest. But you’re not exactly going to find that Su-25SM3 - let alone engage it - from that distance with AIM-9M’s or Skyflash (DF)'s.
And mate if you’re gonna just resort to the “skill issue” statement rather than actually engage in conversation, nobody is gonna take you seriously pal. Get a grip
