The cockpit view also suffers from lower detail textures and some areas that are outright blurry and pixelated. Even some AI aircraft like the Su-34 now have a more impressive exterior – compare the Su-25T above to the brand new Su-34 model below. Though the exterior model has good detail from a 3D mesh perspective, it is decidedly less impressive look to it than some of the other more recent modules with none of the surface detailing in the textures that we see. Nothing on the Su-25T appears to have been given the PBR (physical based rendering) treatment that other DCS World modules have. The Su-25T, compared to the most recent DCS World efforts, is in need of some attention.

Two types of anti-radiation missiles, the Kh-58 Kh-25 MP, together with the L-081 Fantasmagoria Pod make the Su-25T the only SEAD aircraft currently on the REDFOR side and until recently the only aircraft in all of DCS with that capability.Ī full complement of general purpose bombs are also available along with gun pods, sub-munition dispensers, anti-armor bomblets and a GSh-2-23 cannon to help round out the Su-25Ts armament options. The Vikhir laser guided anti-tank missiles are effective at closer ranges, while the Kh-29L and Kh-29T missiles work well at stand off distances. When it comes to making things go boom, however, the Su-25T has a lot to like. I’ve also noticed that with a full load it really doesn’t like being above 620km/h as the aircraft starts to shake. It only reluctantly changes directions – I suppose this makes it relatively straightforward to fly, however, so its not bad as a trainer. With ordinance it responds slowly and sluggishly. Even without ordinance its a bit on the sluggish side. There are some things about the Su-25T that are a bit more problematic. With the right approach, the Su-25T can lay waste to multiple targets with area and precision weapons. Chiefly, it is faster and that makes ingress and egress from a target area a quicker affair reducing the time that the jet is exposed to enemy fire. The Su-25T has some advantages over the A-10. Combine that with the X number of pylons on the wings as you have an aircraft that can take a hit and bring a ton of firepower to a situation. The engines are enclosed within the fuselage and the Su-25T comes with multiple system redundancy. The pilot sits encased in an armored tub (similar to the A-10) and the aircraft is built to be sturdy. It prioritizes firepower and survivability over all other considerations. The Su-25T is a bit like the A-10 in that it is designed as a close air support aircraft. Is the Su-25T a good entry point for DCS World? Does it need some developer attention? Attack plane, freight train The Su-25T certainly looks the part. So I thought it’d be a great idea to go and revisit the Su-25T and see, after a couple of years of flying other aircraft, how this type stacks up in player experience.

However, the Su-25T is special for one reason in particular: It’s free and it is what makes DCS World a free-to-play game. There are few aircraft in my hangar for DCS World that have attracted less attention. I checked my DCS World player logbook recently and noted that I had flown the Su-25T for a grand total of 22 minutes.
