prefetch Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 got the Su-25A module over the weekend and it's great fun flying it and sharpening old rusty skills, i have DCS World, Su-25T and Su-25A all for 14.99usd ... pretty good value for my dollar eh? now if i live long enough i'll get to see DCS overtake MSFSX as THE premere flight sim once we get to fly in theaters all around the world and of course blow shit up in those theatres it's been a long road but it's really taking shape now! well done ED prefetch [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] i7 7700K, Win-8.1(wufuc), DCSW OB, FC3, CA, PG-map, Syria-map, Normandy-map, WWII-assetspack, Bf 109 K-4, MiG-21bis, MiG-19P, Mi-8MTV2, BS2, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisse Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Then you should see the proper DCS modules. Sure, they take more time to learn, but they are the best simulations we can dream of. The Flaming Cliff stuff is nice to have too but they are very simple in comparison to DCS-modules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weta43 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 It's a whole lot simpler to kill anything from the A-10C than from the Su-25A. Which is where the fun comes in.... Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaktus29 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 @wetta ..of course its easier to kill stuff with a-10c with guided munition and better SA.. but, thats why at least for me i like su25a better, i feel like i really excel if i get to use it and destroy the enemy in due time.. it takes much more skills to do it with su-25a than a-10c.. in a way pilots have to be even better than those flying in more computerized planes that assist them to do the task at hand.. flying, waypoints, SA, finding an enemy, egress points, positionig yourself correctly.. making all this while flying in formation with your buddies, there is no greater pleasure than seeing all this come to place and firing your weapons and destroying the targets 300 miles away with deadly effect and returning home.. Su-25A deserves a DCS fully clickable model.. or at least Su-25SM so it would be a little easier for other sim pilots who don't like to do it the old fashion way..

And when I said: It's a whole lot simpler to kill anything from the A-10C than from the Su-25A. Which is where the fun comes in.... What I was saying (though obviously not clearly enough) was that much as I enjoy the DCS.A-10C module, the Su-25A was a lot of fun to fly, and that just because it has less switches, the Su-25A isn't simpler to use - on the contrary, the A-10C is easier to use once you've memorised the HOTAS, and the Su-25A's simplicity makes it if anything more difficult to use - "which is where the fun comes in" Cheers.

VapoR Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Call me crazy but I actually find the Su-25 much easier to handle in situations where you are lower and in close with the targets. With the A-10C you have to be very heads-down working with the TGP and Mav screens to target weapons. With the Su-25 you have just what you need on the gunsight--see the target, put the dot on it, and pull the trigger....only thing that is a challenge is that with the laser guided stuff you have to lase all the way in.

You can do all that in the Hog as well. Its just that in the 25 you have no other option. I like to start people off in the 25 as they dont have any crutches (hud,TGP,etc) so they are forced to learn the basics of airmanship. When it comes to combat the fundamentals are the same between both aircraft with the exception that the Hog taunts you with all the automation so alot of people don focus on the basics e.g unguided rockets,bombs,HADB, MAT techniques etc. Arduino,EOS and Helios Tutorial Static ATC menu mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomer Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Yeah, I agree, Su-25A has somewhat just right feeling, even since the old FC1 days, at least for me. It is a great bird.

eurofor Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Even though I greatly enjoy the clickable cockpits and systems modeling of DCS fidelity, I haven't flown anything else since the release of the Su-25A and probably won't for a while. Didn't go for FC3 but now as a separate module I just couldn't resist. It's difficult not to love the Su-25A and I hope it gets what it deserves in the long term in DCS.

Dr_Arrow Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Speed, agility, raw power, simplicity, it is one hell of a machine... Certainly not as efficient as A-10C with all sophisticated weapon systems and avionics, but still great and demanding real flying skills. I would love to see Su-25A at DCS level and I also love just to fly it empty or fly different training sorties, realistic attack patterns, realistic weapon employment training, navigation, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muamshai Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Su-25A might become a bit more difficult if it goes as detailed as DCS: A-10. Remember how fast it was to start up FC: A-10 and up in the air in no time? :D (but of course this will only happen if pigs fly or if Russian airforce orders the sim) This space is available for your advertisement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weta43 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Disagree, I have fun with Su-25A all the time, just flying it. It's a great aircraft for mastering the real flying skills, I never actually loaded Su-25A with any weapon. Actually, neither you nor Boomer disagree, you just didn't understand what I wrote - which I guess is my fault for not being clear... Cheers.
