i know, i was saying that if Su-25T can use the Mercury targeting pod, why not the Su-25SM3 the T220 targeting pod.
I guess, that’s pretty roundabout… Su-25T was planned to get Mercury/Khod due to lacking night time capabilities… however Su-25SM3 doesn’t suffer from said issues.
nvm i couldn’t find footage of it.
it looks like it can only carry Kh-25, 29 and 59 (also Kh-28, but that one is anti-radiation).
Almost like such footage doesn’t exist…
and yeah, it’s Kh-25/29 for it’s primary guided air to ground stores, no Kh-28/59 though.
To kill russian tanks frontally now you need to reley on rng which is not something you have to do for any other tank in game. The breach is a no go anymore as it wil either end up with a commander or gunner taken out but never the breach due to the trunnions. The lower front plate is your only option now as the drivers port is not even worth mentioning unless your close range and looking down on them. The lower front plate being pure rng as most of the time youll simply kill the driver and engine while doing zero damage to the ammo or turret crew, youll probably take out the autoloader but theyll have a round loaded already alongside the fact that it doesnt stop turret traverse.
To even imply that a penetrating shot to a russian mbt shouldnt detonate the ammo (which we have all seen multiple videos of irl) is pure cope.
Your also missing how ive gotten top tier for britain, italy, france, japan, alongside near top tier for america and germany. That combined with the fact ive been playing since 2016 makes me think ive got enough experience to say a thing or two about this. This isnt even taking into account air.
Acting like a shot to the turret basket would stop a tanks turret from traversing in an emergency situation is disingenuous. If its stopping it for nato tanks then it should do for russian tanks.
erm, no.
autoloaders and turret rings are not the same.
while NATO tanks need to see how their tank can’t turn it’s turret to face the enemy, russian tanks are already dead
I have been facing that nation for years now so i know a thing or two about their bullshit. Volumetric is annoying but then you have the trunnion situation which is only a thing for russian tanks as when we tried to get the challengers trunnions modeled we were told “marketing lie”.
i could tell u the time i survived to an ISU-152 at 10m in the Tiger H1 just cuz he fired to the angled part of the transmission.
why would u even aim for the turret tho? russian tanks have no depression which means they have to expose their big weakspots if they want to actually aim to an enemy.
The roof is out of the question, the breach is now out of the question, the drivers hatch is a sure fire kill but good luck penning it due to volumetric (nothing russian specific just gaijin bullshit), lfp is pure rng as the most youll get is the autoloader+engine+driver. Fuel tanks arent even a good way to kill them anymore. Now lets look at my challenger and see where you can one shot me from.
The breach, lfp, roof, drivers hatch. And none of this is even remotly buggy.
Roof still works. Breach occasionally trolls but trunnion is also present on Abrams and can eat shots. Driver port works, LFP works, fuel tanks can absorb spall on all tanks.
By the time i can shoot their lfp they already have a shot on my roof and it will almost certainly kill me. This isnt even mentioning spall. Unless you have dm63 or whatever america has (a stupidly long string of numbers) your not seeing anywhere close to the spall youll get with 3bm60.
