You are right i have died 12 times in the SU-25 each time i ate 3 missiles
Poor KA-29, I’ve never played it, skipped over it, and I’ve never seen anyone play it.
Prove it get on and ill throw an Aim-9M at you if you can survive 3 hits ill say you win
And the firepower of a 11.7…But please do pick and choose
I know gaijin retracted it because people were upset that it was going to get them.
As someone who has played both the F-16C and the Su-27, I’d pick the Su-27 any day for air superiority. The R-73s are way more effective than Aim-9ms.
Also why are you turn-fighting with A-10s
120S? Firepower of a 11.7 at 10.0 with far better armor and weapon handling :) would you like another example?
As a LAV-AD enjoyer I usually need 1 Stinger per air kill, but for SU-25 I always double tap to be sure. I have some wild anecdotes about a SU-39 in particular taking like 5 Stingers to down.

In what circumstances? Because Aim-9m in sun is wayy better
I seen it be played plenty, since it’s overall better rocket sender than Mi-24/35’s, NSPU would give it Mi-35M sights with nice zoom, thermals and lock, giving it also Ataka’s.
Basically a more maneuvrable Mi-35M without anti air capabilities in form of anti air rockets, without turret lock, having fixed cannon instead.

I’ll remember that advice in the Stormer AD. I was suspecting it would need multiple
And because model in game isnt the one to have thermals, they dont like having to update models.
Make it a mim and that would make it more accurate for what im saying
I dont have a stinger you do though ill gladly get my su25
In pretty much every circumstance. The Aim-9m and the R-73 are pretty even from rear aspect even when flaring. The R-73 is waaayyy better than the Aim-9m in all aspect though. It’s not even close.

What do you only have 1 tree?
Yep. thats what i’ve found with Aim-9M vs Magic II from my personal experience.
Only major advantage of Aim-9M is for longer ranged shots (especially in sim with the smokeless motor) but we are still awaiting for them to “de-chirp” the Aim-9M to give it IRL lock ranges.

Terrbile optics, no tracking ability at night and no pylons with IR missiles just kills it for me.
Most of all I think you have to set realistic expectations and learn to play around the limitations like poor G overload. Until Stingers are fixed you’ll have to apply the correct amount of lead manually.
There’s also a timing element, when to shoot and when to hold fire.
That said, I really enjoy the LAV-AD and I think the Stormer AD will be good too
