The reason for this in real life is kind of interesting. Because we here in the US have an enormous military budget, we can afford to have a diversified inventory in the air force, with each aircraft fulfilling a very specific role. In the Soviet Union and subsequently Russia, they can’t really afford that, so their inventory has to be able to fulfill multiple roles at once. So the A-10 doesn’t function well as a fighter because it is meant to pretty much only be a ground-attack aircraft (although it’s effectiveness has been called into question recently), and because you’ll have a large inventory of F-15s, F-16s, F-18s, F-22s, F-35s, and so on to do the fighting. On the flip-side of that, the Su-25 is an ok ground-attack aircraft and an ok fighter, so it’s better at fighting than the A-10 and at ground-attacking than the F-16 although again, the truth of that is questionable recently), which is why you see them as the only aircraft serving in both roles in more destitute air forces, but flip that scenario, and the Su-25 just simply isn’t as good, especially when you compare the recent modernization programs to both the A-10 and Su-25 (or lack thereof for the latter).
You can literally hear how many time the A-10 rounds sparked the Su-25. If it wasn’t for the broken damage model of the Su-25 it would’ve lost in that first turn.
The su25 counterpart should be the A-7. The A-10 is more of an anti insurgency of COIN aircraft than CAS. The A-7 and su 25 are more CAS hit and run than staying and loitering the battlefield like the A 10
I shit on su25s in my a10 nonstop, all you have to do is not take an energy fight and you will absolutely out turn the fuck outta those shit bricks (edit: for clarification a10 is also a shit brick. Shit brick vs. faster shit brick)
Plus the SU-25 air frame isn’t that if a fucking brick, so it’s turn rate is better and in head ons there’s a 99% success rate with either all aspect missles or the main armament

27.10.2022Well that A-10 made all the mistakes you could against a faster plane.

27.10.2022Yet for some reason Gaijin thinks that the A-10 belongs at 10.3 but not the Su-25
Well there is a reason, and we all know it but some will start screeching about "iTs a fReE tO pLaY gAme! yOu'Re nOt aLlOwEd tO cOmPlAin!"

27.10.2022Now if WarThunder was realistic the SU-25 would have fallen out of the sky like a brick if it pulled such a maneuver. Very nice video tho 🙂.

26.10.2022maybe theirs a reason people compare them (they are quite literally the counterparts of each other)

23.10.2022This is what I love to see, a good one on one battle. No one surrounding you, trying to get the kill just for the cash.

23.10.2022Su 25 don't deserve to be 9.7, there is no way
Summary
23.10.2022Because russian bias is clearly made up when the much slower a10 is .7 br higher, very balanced.

23.10.2022Feel like harrier would be a better comparison

23.10.2022This a10 player was horrible

23.10.2022The Su-25’s gun also points forwards, not downward.

20.10.2022That A-10 just fr did not know how to energy fight for sure or aim you can literally hit someone with that gun 2 kilometers out.
Freddie Hannapel
20.10.2022In the end the a-10 is just a moral booster
Steven Miller
20.10.2022That a10 pilot had zero idea what he was doing it's a relatively straightforward plane to fly
