Why is SU-25SM3 12.3 in AIR RB? Is it truly equal to F-14A?

My bad, thought you were referring to the Su-25 and A-10, I’ve had someone call the Su-25 a strike fighter that should get air kills before.

Yak-141 might be the ONLY EXCEPTİON

The rest are literally horrible, with murdered flight models, horrible radars, too high BRs etc

We all know the real reason for this.

Certain mains are more prevalent, are more outspoken, and spend more money on the game.

They’re getting their way, and as much as it sucks, it makes sense from a business perspective.

I spend money and time on every tech tree, but this sucks.

Especially considering USSR is the 2nd most popular nation, what gaijin is doing really doesn’t make any sense

you are wrong I spend money on this game and all these premiums are worst planes in that BR and if you think they are not you are wrong.

Spending money in this game doesnt mean you decide anything

Yup. I’m about done spending money on this game. The things I paid for are increasingly less balanced, and receive far less attention. Every change log makes this more clear.

I’m also tired of coming on this forum and being shit on for wanting the nations I enjoy playing getting the same benefits as others enjoy and being told it’s what is deserved. Tired of intellectually dishonest arguments and politics/xenophobic bias playing into the arguments made against certain nations. It’s a game, I don’t care about that.

Integral to gameplay should be balance. But for some players, that’s clearly not the goal.

That’s not what I was saying. My money doesn’t decide anything alone. And I’m not talking about premiums or any bias related to them.

Because A-10 is much slower, while also being less maneuverable, at high speeds at least, at low speeds it might be better but low speed maneuverability is useless in Air RB.

As already explained, I was talking about the F-14 being super sonic not the Su-25 :)

Although… A super sonic su-25/a-10 would be cool AF… XD

The A-10 shouldn’t be able to slave 9Ms with the HMD if it still is gaijin didn’t fix it. Kinda like how they didn’t fix the AGM-65s (This update was released way to early.)

As for the SU I would think 11.7 be a better spot for it.

So gaijin just copied it from F-16C?

Exists in Ace Combat and Project Wingman :)

OOOOO GOODIE!

Always have wanted to try ace combat… Now I have another reason ;)

If anything id call the SU25T better for AirRB.
You get 16 Vikhr ATGMs which you can use to force people into your guns in headons.

They both use the exact same HMD just the A-10C doesn’t give the HMD the ability to slave the A-A missile seekers.

It was really lazily implemented. Bug report was submitted to fix it. Along with increasing the range of the AGM-65L. Both were acknowledged but looking at what came to the game devs didn’t do anything about them.

We should have had another week of development before this launch.

you are right striker with busted missiles should be way lower in air rb even if that meant to fight so for a10c it might need to drop in br like 11.0 or something along said the su25sm like a lot of people would say it shouldn’t fight flarless plane and right but remember no 11.0 plane lack flares now we go for no legal to the Exception the f4c yeah this plane shouldn’t be 10.0 if you ask me but Anway a lot of planes can go mach1 and above and for you to get murdered by irccm missile or and from any missile from these flying tanks you would need to be ether be greedy as hell or unaware you only need to keep 2km and hight speed to beat them

So basically nothing changed since 1st day of dev server.

Yeah pretty much. I think the J10a is faster then it was in dev. It’s keeping up with F-16s even though Gaijin said they weren’t changing the FM cause of evidence caping it at 1450. But other than that seems the same.

Speed doesn’t really matter in GRB. In fact subsonic jets are better in a CAS sole, since their flight model is just more suited to engage ground targets. A Su-25 will always be better than e.g. a Tornado, which is a brick which makes it hard to line up bomb runs and to bank away from SPAA fire.

Dodging SPAA is way easier when you’re faster.
