astrospud Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 (edited) You see, this is what I'm afraid of. All this talk of the A-10 making a huge comeback as an expansion of the DCS series, and everyman and his hog (get it? :)) will be spamming the A-10, and us poor helo pilots will be wearing it... 26-J39, when you're kind enough to host after this expansion comes out, please make sure there are plenty of missions where the Shark pilots have lots of Flanker cover...:D Last thing I want is to be repeatedly pwned by a flying pig...:joystick: Edited December 26, 2009 by astrospud Dang!

GGTharos Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 Ok.

*Rage* Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 Ok. How about their eagle cover then? :D Pwned by the Flankers if I have anything to do with it;) DCS Flanker vs Eagle will be epic. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 64th "Scorpions" Aggressor Squadron Discord: 64th Aggressor Squadron TS: 195.201.110.22
astrospud Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 I just saw ruggbutt's video of FC A-10's in action. I can see the appeal (I don't have any LOMAC software). Does anyone think that, aside from myself, J, and maybe the possibility of Viper, anyone going to fly the Blackshark after this expansion is released? I hope so. :) Rectum non bustus

EvilBivol-1 Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) Seems the Bulgarians are trying to conserve their ammo: the 25 fires for about quarter the time the hog does. :music_whistling:Good observation, but has nothing to do with the Bulgarians being conservative. The Su-25 has severe problems firing the gun. The recoil vibrations are so bad that often things start flying and stop working in the cockpit, including most of the navigation equipment. This forces pilots to fire only using the short burst setting (50 rounds). Additionally, the gun can only be used after running the engines in Idle for at least 4 seconds, meaning that it can really only be used in a dive and is useless as an air to air self-defense weapon.

Wow - shocking. Is this a problem with the gun itself, or is it how it's been integrated with the Su-25? I assume this goes for the whole Su-25 family? The mind is like a parachute. It only works when it's open | The important thing is not to stop questioning
Lucas_From_Hell Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 is useless as an air to air self-defense weapon. Might be in a regular situation, but I think that, if things are going REALLY bad up there, a pilot won't think twice in exchanging his nav. gear for a chance to get away alive. At least I would.
Boberro Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 I have read long time ago the Su25's gun has problems, but I haven't found so detailed data. So this gun is useless... will be it in LO 2 ?

I assume this goes for the whole Su-25 family?The information came from a Su-25 pilot on the Russian forum, so I'm assuming it applies to the entire aircraft family and has to do with the way the gun is mounted to the airframe. So this gun is useless...The gun can and is used for ground attack, which is after all its main purpose, but it is effectively limited to the short burst setting and is far from the weapon of choice. Also, you have to consider the entire cannon load is only 250 rounds - 5 bursts. will be it in LO 2 ?You mean FC-2? No, these problems are not modeled in LO. - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy.

EvilBivol-1 Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Remembering the Su-25SM HUD footage from the South Ossetian war in 2008, there were a number of cannon strafes performed at very low levels. So again, the gun is and can be used for its main purpose, but it has problems and this is probably why you are seeing the Bulgarian Su-25s firing such short bursts compared to the A-10s. - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy.

Me once again about this gun... As mentioned I've read an article and have found info that test-pilot Oleg Coj has been as Su25 tester and once day when he was RTB during landing procedure Su-25's landing gear didn't go down so he had to land without it. That was caused by gun vibrations which blocked something there. IIRC there were 2 accidents of landing without gear down and due to these accidents there has been made procedures what to do during similar situation on Su25. The gun can and is used for ground attack, which is after all its main purpose, but it is effectively limited to the short burst setting and is far from the weapon of choice. Also, you have to consider the entire cannon load is only 250 rounds - 5 bursts.But as you mentioned without running engines - only idle ect. Many and rather huge limitations oO. You mean FC-2? No, these problems are not modeled in LO.Yes I meant FC-2 :) Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make...
