Su-25T Kh58 & 25MPU

[Steggles]

Has anyone here been having troubles with the Kh58 and 25MPU not getting the launch authorization? Once in range, I've still got to override the launch authorization to be able to launch. The 25's then guide to the target but the 58s explode a few seconds after coming off the rail.

Which DCS World version. I've been using them in 1.5 since Friday's patch and they're working great.

Ok, might be a server issue as I'm not the only one its happened to in the server. Thanks for the reply. And yeah - most recent patch for me too.

Probably you are locked the P-35 airfield radar or some EWR. The Kh-58 and Kh-25MPU are not in game ready to destroy this kind of Early warning Radars

Anyway you can override the launch, and shoot beyond the Rmax distance and will hit

from the last update 1.5.5 the k-58, 25MPU fail to hit the radars of SAMS , they misses with no connection on which height you released them . They always misses by 5- 10 meters, even though they are locked and in range.

 

It is frustrating !!

Is there currently any way to launch a Kh-58 from the Su-25T?

Manual says nothing about it ...

Select ELINT pod; tdc box over diamond; lock; fire.

Thanks Iron for your quick answer!

Would it work with the TV pod as well?

No

No but a neat trick, if you're also carrying missiles that are cued with the Shkval, is to use the elint pod to lock the target. The TV image will then be over the locked target as well. Lock the target in the Shkval, too, and then you can use those missiles as well. That way you don't have to scroll around looking for the target in the TV monitor.

But it needs to have an enemy active radar emission in order to get locked on to it, don't it?

The Phantasmagoria pod does, yes. But once locked, the Shkval will be ground stabilized right over it allowing you to observe what else is in the immediate area, etc.

oki dok, many thanks for your answers!
