25T module?

[Spider808]

What is the difference between the 25T which comes with DCS and the 25 which is a separate purchase module?

The Su-25 is the older aircraft, lighter, and has no HUD relying instead on “steam gauge” instrumentation. It’s the premiere A2G workhorse in a number of air forces. The Su-25T, by contrast, has seen limited use but comes with a HUD, more armor, and a wider array of weapon choices. It’s the only flyable RedFor SEAD platform.

Very important difference are smart weapons and targeting pods for the T version:

The use of precision weapons is made possible by the onboard I-251 "Shkval" (daytime-only TV) or podded "Mercury" (LLTV for night operations) targeting systems. The image from either system is displayed on the IT-23M TV display in the upper right corner of the Su-25T control panel.

Thank you for the correction. Didn’t know that.
