Question about SU25/SU25T Laser warming

[ESA_MistrL]

With FC 1.12 whenever you switch on Laser Designator you had to be careful because if laser was firing too much time it will disengage itself in order to prevent overheating. Furthermore, it was necessary to wait more or less the same time the laser was firing until you could fire it again. You could notice a green light flashing within HUD while laser cooling process.

The longer the laser was firing the longer cooling time.

 

I was testing this feature With FC 2.0 and I noticed that you can have laser firing (green light on) for hours, no auto-disengage at all to prevent overheating. If you swith it off, green light is flashing 3 or 4 times and then laser is operational again.

 

Does anyone have info about this issue? What is real in SU25, FC 1.12 option, FC 2.0 option, none of them?

 

Many thx.

Isn't Vikhr lasing using much less of energy than used for example Kh-25ML or S-25L? When I fire Vikhrs laser only cools down only few seconds like in Black Shark. When I used Kh-25ML and S-25L it takes much longer time. It is not a bug IMHO - all is like in BS ;]

It makes sense. I was testing rockets mainly wich could be using even less energy than Vickr while lasing. Vickr needs laser track to ride over. Rockets donґt need laser, itґs just for measuring distance.

 

Talking about Kh-25Ml or S-25L, honestly, I didnґt even try.

Any other expert voice to clarify this issue?

Many Thx

What I notice is in the SU-25 if you are lasing for target designation (guiding a A2G missile or lasing for gun puds) laser will overheat and shut down. If it just on for ranging (rockets or bombs) it stayed on for around 30 minutes. I'm not sure if this is the same on the SU-25T
