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
Except Su-24 isn’t an A-10 equivalent, it’s an F-111F equivalent. What you want should be 4 R-73s on the Su-25T.
Yeah… Thats about what I guessed. though If I can manage the Starstreaks, then Stingers should be a piece of cake :D
But i’ll get it when I get it. No playing ground at the moment at all
Oh sorry chum the 120S top round is M829A1…The top tier US round is…Drum roll…M829A2
T-90M top round is…3BM60…Spruts top round is…3BM60.
So in actual fact the 120S does not have top tier firepower at 10.0
Anyway having a thermals T-Pod does not dictate a lower BR.
Technically yes but both A1 and A2 are better than 3BM60
I mean M829A1 has better pen than 3BM60
Yes, me too! This is especially noticable in Heli PVE, I recently unlocked AIM-9M on my AH-1Z and was really dissapointed in the very short (all-aspect) lock range.
All the AI aircraft are props so it does the Sidewinder no favors
No I’m on my phone and don’t pull open profiles. Seems fairly normal.
We are comparing top tier firepower. Not who has better top tier rounds
Yep, This would be such a major buff for them:

So are you gonna get on and prove your point that the su-25 that you played can always tank 3 stingers minimum or are you just gonna run away when confronted on your BS
If I’m on my phone i would think it be clear i am not home.
You good? You seem flustered
Having used a lot of Stingers myself I think it’d be wrong to say Su-25 always take 3 Stingers.
They usually take 1 or 2. They can sometimes take 3, it doesn’t happen every day but when it does it’s really memorable.
Frustratingly often they are mortally crippled by 1, but survive long enough to return the favor
How so im not the one making ludicrous claims on the forum with little to no experience in said vehicle you however well :)
I’m not the one saying get on the game.
Ive never had my su-25 tank more than 1 except for one time when a stinger tore my wing off and i glided back after about 4 minutes of slowly turning around
Im not the one making a claim that he cant prove
This video is not very recent, but I don’t think Stinger or the Su-25 has changed much since March last year
Edit: Having rewatched the video, I will admit it isn’t quite this ridiculous now. Still, very durable compared to other aircraft
