The Su-25SM3 currently has a BR of 12.7 in ground RB, and it is ridiculous. It only has x2 R-73 and x4 Kh-38MT. Compeered to the Su-30 with the armament it has at BR 13.0 or even its French counterpart Mirage-2000D at BR 12.7 with x2 Magic 2s and x7 AASM-250 Hammers. And this is not even considering its a Su-25 platform, very slow and un-maneuverable air frame. Combine this with the new SPAA that has been added, the Su-25SM3 just doesn’t have a point anymore.

Giving it a BR of 12.0 wont do much for when you get an uptier to BR 13.0, but at least it will be good in a downtier at BR 11.0. Tell me this, when was the last time you saw anyone using an Su-25SMT in game?

Not only this, but it will actual give USSR / Russia a good CAS option for BR 12.0 Something they are currently lacking. Leaving you with the only option but to take the Su-24M Su-25T out. Both of these planes lack thermal sights.

KH38MT says no. I don’t think anybody cares that it “only” has 4 of them.

You should seek decompression to make room for vehicles like this.

Only if they delete KH-38MTs from it. So long as those are present. It cannot go below 12.7. If anything, that might be too low for them. 11.7 SPAA can barely do anything against them

Though thats what happens when they add a fictional weapon

As they should, KH38MT is already causing problems at top tier and u want it at 11.0? lol

Top tier CAS is so compressed, that moving anything down with CAS abilities is basically impossible.

Plus, KH-38s shouldn’t be facing SPAA below 11.7.
