Storm 1-1 Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago I recently got back into the seat of the Su-25A and wondered if JTAC's could guide KH-25 missiles like with a hellfire. It makes getting rid of pesky SHORADS and AAA much easier. So, I set up a mission with a JTAC script and kept getting the same disappointing result. Call in JTAC, acquire target, launch override, launch, missile miss by either self-terminating (as seen in the "Su-25A" video) or by flying into the sky the last few seconds before impact. Tried it in a Su-25T and it worked just fine. If I had to guess what the issue is, it is that when launching laser guided missiles on the Su-25A the laser automatically turns on. This in turn causes the seeker to ignore the JTAC's laser entirely and freak out when the Su-25A breaks contact. Meanwhile on the Su-25T the laser does not automatically turn on causing the Kh-25ML to follow the JTAC's laser. Would there be a way to make it so that launching missiles on the Su-25A does not automatically turn on the laser? The Su-25T does not do it and I do not understand why the "A" variant would either.
