Still probably the best option as a top jet premium for Russia.

I love this thing quite a bit, and not because it’s any good. I have managed slightly over a 3.0 k/d which I think is alright I guess for a vehicle like this. Most of my kills aren’t even missle kills, but having fun with guns. The su-25 would be so much better if they made it so your br changes via load out. Yea that would mean a lot of reworks for how spawning loadouts in air rn worked and having to preselect. But this thing would be, IMO, almost perfectly balanced at 9.0 without missles. It can’t turnfight or outrun any opponents there but the capability of its firepower as well as energy trapping low skill players makes it alright. I’ve had a great deal of fun in it and mostly because people think it’s scarier than it is and trying to disengage and getting a lucky kill when they run.

[@Bitchesgivehigh5s]

I think you hit the nail on the head. I feel they just keep adding planes more and more into the future with stronger and stronger missiles. Don't get me wrong, they are fun. But stop.....This thing vs any play with missiles is gonna lock super hard because of the heat its putting out. Just let it sit with its weakest missiles at 9. 9.7 you're gonna get some Tomcats and it wont be fun. Or give it a modifier for strike attacking the maps. Its not meant to be a fighter, more of a ground attacker. So give it a nice buff for killing AAs and trucks and bunkers.

Hey defyn please read this comment. As we all know Air RB at top tier right now is a piece of shit, you either have small maps with matches that last 2 min only or large empty EC maps with just 1 AF and you keep flying with nothing around to do. My suggestion is that gaijin should make a PVE mode for Air RB players, it could be similar to the existente helicopter PvE we would have multiples objectives to do like enemy aircrafts, bases, ground units and etc... This would be a great opportunity to use the multirole aircrafts like the A-10,SU-25 recently added since in Air RB you mainly will use Air to Air missiles and bomb runs are almost always suicide, those planes that have more focus on ground attack are useless I think it would be a great addition for Air players that like me are tired of the current state of Air RB at top tier, let me know what you guys think of it.
