Slutcher Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I've noticed the new KAB-500S for Su-25T in the 1.57. But i don't know how to use it. Anyone else noticing this?ED perhaps a DCS:Su-25SM maybe?:D http://www.51bisons.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probad Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 nice catch, seems like they're not actually ready to be used? they simply are unable to be released even with launch override. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slutcher Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 nice catch, seems like they're not actually ready to be used? they simply are unable to be released even with launch override. Same for me. Likely not ready yet. BTW, the KAB-500S is a satellite guide bomb. The Su-25T does not have any kind of satallite navigation system IIRC so how does it deploy satallite guided bomb? http://www.51bisons.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Su-25T does not have any kind of satallite navigation system IIRC so how does it deploy satallite guided bomb? SU-25 SM Confirmed! Is this bomb new too? RBK 250-275 AO-1SCH. Haven't made new loadouts in a while but I don't remember seeing it before. A search reveals it's a frag type like the ptab 10-5. In testing it it seems equally useless.

Mars Exulte Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Yeah I think that one is new, also. I don't have the list handy, but it's unfamiliar sounding. Very interesting.

The Su-25T does not have any kind of satallite navigation system IIRC so how does it deploy satallite guided bomb? Well, the aircraft having satellite nav or not wouldn't matter, as long as it can interface with the weapon, as I understand it. The bomb DOES have SATNAV, which is the more important part. It was passed over by the RF due to its high cost (implying the systems are in the weapon itself rather than the aircraft). It was deployed in Syria, much to everyone's surprise evidently. Gamewise, we have 3x new weapons in total. The two cluster bombs (250 and 500 variants) can be mounted on Su-25As, the KAB-500S on the Su-25T. I haven't tried testing them yet. I don't know what advantage there would be to using it over the TV guided one. In-RL it seems to be slightly less accurate (not that it matters much with a 1000lber) and... that's it more or less. More expensive, as already mentioned. *shrugs* I dunno. They did largely take a pass on buying it. Possibly this is why :D Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probad Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 the 500kr is super dependent on its ability to recognize the target, which sometimes can be dangerously unreliable. even if a bit less accurate, the better standoff ability of the 500s is a useful capability.

WildBillKelsoe Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 you guys are priceless! AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sealpup Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) SU-25 SM Confirmed! Actually, that new KAB-500, and the new cluster bombs have a platform in common; the Su-24M. And coincidentally enough, a cut-cockpit model for the Su-24M was recently added to DCS' assets. Curiouser and curiouser, as Alice would say.

Sealpup Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 What's the purpose of a adding a "cut-cockpit" model? To place the higher rez first-person cockpit in place while allowing for the surrounding airframe to be visible from inside without clipping, I would assume.
