Well, I don’t have any direct sources on this.
However, such functionality seems self-evident, given that the radar could detect ground targets.
The Su-25T and Su-39 had fairly advanced avionics. For example, the Shkval was synchronized with the R-73/R-60 seeker, which allowed the missile’s seeker position to be controlled with a joystick before launch and the targeting position to be seen on the screen.
For some reason, this logic doesn’t seem to work in the game for many aircraft, like the Harrier, Tornado, Hornet, Gripen, etc. That’s why I’m asking.
Lol no. The avionics aren’t so good for the 1990s.
I’ve found that this feature works on most of the planes I’ve tried.
I don’t think so.
Besides the ones I mentioned, this feature also doesn’t work on the Hawk 200, Mirage 4000, and Buccaneer. It’s especially funny that the Tornado GR.4 can’t provide radar target designation for its own AGMs.
Yeah they broke it ages ago and it never got fully fixed

I love how it was accepted… never added… and then closed…
For Su-39!
Afeared of giving frogfoot players the means to cause havoc (minor annoyances).
Well, if I recall you have to drop the Vikhir pods for the R-27s…
So instead of having 12 ATGMs you’d have 2 AAMs, which would allow it to have a chance against a good F-4S player.
No, Su-39 can carry 4. Pylon same as Vikhr or R-73 pylon
lmao why did they Bring up the F4F ICE with it’s whole 2! AGM-65D as a comparison
can su-39 carry r-73 on outermost pylon?
ive seen it on expos, but su-25t manual doesn’t list r-73 for use on outermost pylon. Though, tbf su25t is not the same as su-39
I’m sure it can. It’s listed as carrying four R-73s, and the official brochure has a photo of them hanging there.
The Su-25T is very different; its R-73s should be mounted on a pylon closer to the fuselage (where the Kh-25ML is).
They are very different.
The Su-39 should have eight Kh-25ML/S-25LD, six Kh-25MPU, R-27/77, and six KAB-500Kr
Why? what are the main limitations of Su25t that does preventing carry the same amount of weapons that su39 can?
su-25t doesn’t have a radar pod. su-39 is export version of the su-25tm, the tm was a modernized version of the su-25t which gave it a radar and more expanded weaponset
This is what i was talking about, i know it didnt have radar pod from the beginning.
So basically gaijin lied to us when they said 25T will be basically same as 39 in practice.
different FCS
So in terms of hardpoints there is nothing stops Su25T to load with same amount of armament, correct?
I see, well thanks for the information.
Hardpoints alone are irrelevant
the Locks on hardpoints are almost always identical on all aircraft, FCS and other Avionics are the problem because those have to be able to use what’s hanging on that pylon
