So is it decided that the A-10C is too good for 11.3? And should be moved to 12.0?
Nope.
It’s perfectly balanced.

Cons: It’s slow.
Pros: Everything else it has is better than anything at its BR.
Not very balanced.

Agreed. But hey if speed is the biggest factor here, the Su-25T should be a 9.7 right?

(I know you were talking sarcastically lol I watched you wipe my whole team one match, and the only person who really could put up a good fight was me until I was getting 2v1’d)

The whole “but it’s slow” argument doesn’t make a whole lot of sense because you can pick and choose any planes that are “slow” but still are the best for their BRs.
Take the JF-17 for example, it’s slower than a lot of other aircraft at its BR but is the best 13.3 fighter.

Ground attackers need to be the best pseudo-fighters at their BR.
This is perfectly logical and anyone that thinks otherwise is just coping.
(A-10C at 11.3 just creates another BR range that is unplayable for USSR mains that aren’t also flying under-tiered ground attackers as pseudo-fighters)

I mean I’d like 4 R-73s too lol

Perfectly keyword.
11.7 with no Aim-9ms, 12.0 with them. That’s actually lenient. It should be 12.3 like the Su-25Sm3

When we fought in that match the other day, I totally forgot to mention how many times I was able to fire on you with R-73, and R-60s hell even Vikhir but the MAW on the A-10C not only gave away that I had fired, but averted the ir aams, even while under 2km
Yeah I know how great MAWS and enough countermeasures to actually use it is. There is a reason I made two videos on it.
Hopefully some friends of mine can get Aim-9M on theirs soon and then I can have back-up in the lobbies I go into. It might hurt the kill count but it’ll make the enemy team quit faster.
Maybe those MiG-23 aces from earlier in the thread will show up in my game.

I mean even without graphs, you can just use common sense. Higher speed = farther travel
You’ve never even played the A-10. I’ve actually flown both the Su-25 and the A-10, the Su-25 definitely accelerates better.
0-500kmh IAS
a-10 42s
su-25 35s ~20% faster acceleration
su-39 33s (with 173kg extra payload) ~27% faster acceleration
The practical differences in effective range due to the speed difference between the Su-25 and A-10 are negligible in any practical sense. The Aim-9M is far better in Air SB than it is in Air RB due to a lack of markers and the A-10C is far better than the Su-25 due to all-around better situational awareness and much more useful flight performance in most situations.

In a chase it does. Head-on, side-aspect maybe not.
Yes, but the R-73 is no slouch.
Don’t know about this one, speed is king in missile thunder.
