What would be better cas for ussr 10.3. The Su-17M2 or the Su-25

I already have the su25 in my lineup but I have been thinking of replacing it with the su17 when I get it, because it’s faster but I don’t know if the no countermeasures and less KHs is worth it.

Su-25 with S-25O

Tbh don’t take KH’s on the base Su-25 or Su-17M2, just take the S-25O’s, very effective. And no, the Su-17M2 isn’t worth it.

Yeah, but atleast the Su-17M4 is decent CAS.

with what

Kh-29T

Without targeting pod at 11.0 facing Tor and up to everything?

the 29T has its own sensor, not great but it works

i really like the Su 25 with the S13 because you have more, so you can fly low and prefire spaa

should be around 10.3 (F-4F with 2 AGM-65 is at 10.3 so 2Kh-29T should also be just 10.3 or max 10.7) but yes

should be 11.7

its a solid CAS aircraft if it was given its maximum capabilities

its actually better IRL but gaijin hasnt modelled it right. it could see a lot more and was more of a contrast seeker than a Black/White seeker

Not the SU-17M2, but the Su-22M3 instead

That’s still a monochrome seeker, but displayed through the more Sepia tone monitor than a black/white one.

I mean that the sheer fog effect wasn’t as prominent irl.
Also maybe resolution

The ingame resolution is whatever your screen resolution is. Its only the Picture-in-Picture render in the cockpit that uses a lower resolution render for performance reasons.

And its just a monochrome view of the game scene. If the atmosphere is foggy, the seeker view is foggy. If the atmosphere is clear, then the view is also clear.

All SU17/SU22 and SU25 are bad

The Su-17m2 got it down to 10.0, making it very playable. You can be equipped with 4x R-60 air-to-air missiles and carry 4 incendiary bombs. In this BR you still can dodge missiles without using any flares. But you can use those rockets as flares if you get uptier.

Honestly I find myself doing best with KHs but I will give those rockets a go then.

Was talking about seeker resolution.
Or soght resolution as some call it.

But done incorrectly.

If you can see it with a non TVD high zoom sight, you should be able to see it in a monochrome sight

And TV seeker resolution is just the game’s render resolution, there’s no difference currently.

You can. The only difference is its monochrome.
