13.0 Su-25 airframe is wild
I pledge allegiance to the snail and fsb type post
It seems some of you need cough syrup
Not wild because Su-39 is a huge improvement from the base Su-25 airframe, it’s that is not and probably will not fit that role of striker-fighter airplane, I think that it’s certainly intentional that the developers will never implement its missiles in any time soon. Personally I think that the Su-39 is a niche airplane, it could have, but in my opinion it doesn’t need to.
A-10C has always been better. What are you on about?
Then you use them wrong.
Also, Su-39 is missing:
r-77s
R-27s (ER included)
Honestly they should just give it 2 R27s or 2 R-77s
Since it’s a subsonic aircraft they’ll be far less effective… not that R-77s are great to begin with
More like 12.0
It has to trade weapons for weapons
The main issue is br compression, sp costs for 12.0+ spaa and the free Pantsirs, it affects all cas at 11.7+ br, but people here want cas removed so no meaningful discussion can happen about balance…
Or give it its missiles and make it a 12.0?
The a-10c wasn’t getting aim-9ms initially until people cried about it.
2 r-77s in trade of r-73s (because they use the same pylon)
Or 2 R-27s in trade of Vikhirs (same pylon)
So it’s not gaining much by also losing something.
If we consider SHAR FA.2 and other subsonic ARH carriers
if Su-39 get R-77
It will go straight up to 13.0
Not 12.0
Mate, you are coping hard with a Soviet vehicle again.
Obviously you can’t read that 12.0 suggestions was about the R27r
Yep and put it 13.0 then with the other weaker ground attack aircraft that have 120s
Considering thread is about grb (assuming it is due to complains about grb spaa), no, its not. A10c gets mogged by su25t/su39 in every way besides aams and maws in grb.
In air sim tho, I would take a10c over both frogfoots any day because of much better cockpit and hmd with iff.
Nah, I reckon he was considering R-77 on 12.0 too.
Look at Uniquescorpion’s comment more closely.
“It’s not gaining much”
I really want to see it, and everyone just doesn’t buy the Su-39 since the Su-30Mk is sitting on 13.3 /j
Maybe he means 12.0 in grb similar to amraam harrier
He said give it missile for 12.0.
No missile was named but logically, it’s about R27r if it’s 12.0
If he meant 12.0 in GRB
It could make sense
Brother you are coping hard to not allow a “Soviet” vehicle its weapons.
Hell, the AV-8B + is 13.0 because it gets what, 4 aim-120s? Aim-9Ms, and a lot more cms while being a totally better platform.
I could see the Su-39 being 12.3 in arb but for ASB 12.0 is fine now that the F-4s all just got a big buff.
Legit you cannot stop being biased for 1 sec
Honestly I would take it considering the M346 is there also
Basically all aircraft has to stay away from the iris-t it’s not just the Su-39, so it’s not an exception. This is not an argument to say it should go down otherwise it works for every aircraft
