There are tv guided bombs and missiles that u can use to take some of the risk away but they are only good for static targets the vikhr is handy for taking out tanks when there is no major aa threat so u can fire 1 missile if going fast and 2 if u slow yourself down enough bombs and rockets should be used from steep fast dive's to maximize accuracy also u definitely can assign the shkval sensor to the x52 i have mine assigned to the four way hat on the throttle(options>controls>su25t>sensors, the target designator is the one u want to assign to control the camera).
