Going OLD SCHOOL with SU-25A
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 янв 2021
- We wanted to try some new things so we decided to fly the good old SU-25A frogfoot. She's not as worthless as some people think, although you do have to get in closer to your targets. However, that's just more fun if you think about it right?

"These rockets suck dude"
Next engagement: Full rocket loadout
honestly, that's exactly how that went down. We figured, it might have just not been enough rockets, let's take more and see what happens ahahha
@@ralfidude when in doubt.. mo powah!
@@ralfidude Flawless strategy!
@@ralfidude double down or go home. Noice.
Inner pylons bro.
Man was just reflecting era 2012/2013 or so when one of your earlier a10c videos convinced me to try DCS. Now all those years later I'm thousands deep with modules and peripherals. Thanks
Even though the T model is more capable of doing ground attack, I favor the old A model. She just looks better without that Shkval nose and the bulky back behind the pilot. Besides, it is satisfying going in with a sh*tload of S-8 rockets or manually laser aim the most beautiful missile ever created on earth, the Kh-25. Those smoke trails make me giggle everytime.... Nice vid ralfi, the third part gives such a great soviet-afghan vibe
This thing with a truckload of S-8 is a gazelle compared to the brick the T is with just the empty Vikhr racks on it alone.
@@CakePrincessCelestia Yeah, that's another fact. Faster, more nimble and it holds the speed better than the T
@@Paul91415 You called the su25 SHE,Do planes have gender?
@@brazilian3578 Most of the time, Planes, Ships and other vehicles are called that way.
@@Paul91415 Thanks
9:19 Those are some soviet afghan vibes right there.
that's what I was going for!
@@ralfidude
hey ralfi maybe try some Afghanistan ops or stuff in that style
never played DCS so no clue if you could make it work well
Hell yeah... watching a docu about the Soviet Afghan war... damn wish the MI-24 was out^^
Now watch me manually aim my Kh-25, fire, and miss a moving target.
Its reallt refreshing seeing some other planes in action instead of the same "Meta-Jets".
Love it Ralfi, keep it up!
love that thumbnail
yo what you doing here!? It's ridiculous how many of the youtubers I watch either know each other, or watch each other!
Thumbnail looks so moody. Cold War Soviet vibes, and the style i saw on box of plastic models.
It reminds me of those boxes that plastic models are packed in they have similar artwork
God that camo is HNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
I've never seen it before that day, so I picked it for the uniqueness.
i’m glad i found your channel. hilarious shit humor with god tier flying skills. perfect combo
thanks bud!
Well, if isn't Mike Honcho himself!
If someone made a clickable cockpit Su-25A, I'd buy it day 1.
That would be amazing!
I reckon something like how Aerges is doing the Mirage F1.
An old analog Su-25A as well as one of those Israeli-modified glass cockpit Su-25s both included in one module. That would be so damn cool.
There is (as a mod, the clickable FC3 mod)
Awesome vid ralfi!! Love how you have so much fun with the older planes
The morse code at 13:48 had a good beat and you can dance to it. I rate it a 77/100.
change the NDB radio freq the morse should stop should stop (don't play DCS, just a hunch)
@@gordslater You can't really adjust specific details like that in this particular aircraft. It's meant to be easier to use than the full-fidelity ones, so you don't have to worry about stuff like setting up radios
My deepest respect, the frogfoot A is a wonderful aircraft and so few appreciate her!
Awesome video! The su-25A has always been one of my favorite aircraft in DCS despite being fc3 level... So satisfying to fly!
I really enjoyed flying missions on this thing, there is something really satisfying in getting the job done in them, and they fly pretty fast once you dumped all of your ordnance on the enemies, i would love to have a full DCS level module of it. That pair flight was really nice to see at 9:20.
Cool vid with a retro vibe to it and relaxed action for the most of the time... It's good when there's no enemy CAP, but we all know by now that even the Froggy can hold on it's own.
Nice job, man! 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed
@@ralfidude Always a pleasure, man. I've yet to find a video of yours that I wouldn't like. Keep on doing the great job - as long as it's fun for you, of course!
Great footage, love the radio chatter and good to the Frogfoot back in the air.
That was nice, soo few people use the frogfoot so it was good to see it in action.
Thank you for that
Awesome gameplay :)
The su25a is my fav when i want a relaxing playthrough.
Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz welcome back!
Very nice video ! Loved the montage at the end :)
Thx Ralphie! Good video to light up the day! Good editing and music at the end loved the ending!
Glad you liked it!
I love the 25A. Everything from it’s designator system to its rockets is a blast. Not to mention she’s hella fast.
Rlly nice Montage at the end.. What was that sound so u couldn’t use it?
Btw the whole video was nice as always :)
Ralfie's vid is the ASMR I need on a Friday evening. Pozdro
montage, montage, montage! good stuff as always!
I love how the guided missiles loose their smoke trail just prior to impact.
beautiful video with beautiful music and a beautiful plane, congratulations on the film
that montage at the end is insanely good.
I love how the explosions are on the beat :)
I try
"No I think he is just going defensive-"
I love the video dude! Awesome way of using the unusable footage! Looking forward to the next one!
6:38 That late ejection tho
“Comrade, in Soviet Russia pilot ejects the plane”
Reminds me of a Russian video of frogfoot ops, always good to see a ralfi vid in the box too. Cheers man keeping us all going
If you didn't know, you can move the gunsight glass down to make it easier to see the crosshair when lining up on ground targets.
Good stuff Ralfi!!
10:44 Always feels good to find yourself head to head with a SAM at short range 😳...
... in fact, immediately following that encounter I thought you again were a goner given all the debris as you flew past the SAM site explosion.
Ralfi on the Froggie A: up, close and personal.
Ty for the extra footage ! any footage is usable.
love that Far Cry 3 clip at 9:14
Nice flying! I like it.
It's important to show off your "tailno." Nice
69...
*Bort number
Surgical with those missles, dude. Bravo.
hehe thanks
Your videos never disappoint =]
Nice job syncing up those kills with the music during the montage.
Back to basics. I like it!
P.S. Also, too few rockets in each salvo, compared to real live usage (on TV). I guess it's because you don't want to RTB after only a few passes? They are really not a precise weapon system, but rather "statistical", that's why there are so many of them on each pod/launcher. It's no criticism in any way, just my thoughts aloud.
Different approach: Just get closer :)
"statistical" I just love it XD
Evening after nice day at work and a new ralfi video. Can it get better?
God damn! That voice mod adds an unreal amount of immersion. Amazing!
Is it something you do on your end to change their voices, or are they doing it on their end themselves?
I wouldn't mind using this myself.
I use Discord for voice comms but I only play IL-2 Great Battles at the moment.
I want to get into DCS. I was thinking of just getting a multi role module to start. F-16 or F-18 maybe. Definitely a Westen aircraft.
Great video!
It's a radio app that we use alongside of DCS in which you tune to frequencies and the radio transmissions are simulated with the radio effects and such. Very much like Task Force Radio for ARMA.
such a badass plane
Ah yes. I remember doing the campaign woth these birds in LockOn. Very old school
Toward the end of the video I was wondering about how low would you go on the passes. Then the big finish. 😉
If only that reticle wasn't almost completely invisible in VR for months now... :D
@ralfiedude, how do you move croshairs AFTER you locked them up successfully...in my hotas x56 after i lock up, that shit moves only up, lol..i can go left, right, up and also up..wtf..is it because plane is jiggling too much and some gyro stuff happening in the background... also can you explain how precise you are when targeting, do you more or less just target on first pass-to put reticle basically on target!? or do you just lock somewhere close to target and move locked crosshairs back to target?..
Try using the rudder pedals when you turn. Coordinated turns will make it easier to line up the target when you come out of the turn. Keep practicing, keep the bubble centered, and you'll soon be maneuvering like a pro!
I know you're just trying to help, but for someone who flies IRL and has flown virtually in DCS for over 10 years, I really couldn't care less. You tend to forget which systems have SAS and don't need rudder, but again, I really don't care.

aww thanksies

:D
14:38 - what it was? White cloud around explosion
It's "smoke grenades" launched by the attacked unit. Armored(tanks...) units in DCS can launch smoke grenades if they are attacked but not killed to "cover" their position. It's an old effect and not quite nice to look at in 2021 but it is what it is until it gets overhauled.
@@unwissend83 ty
I've found that the S-8OFP2 rockets are quite good against soft-skinned targets like trucks and infantry. Not so much against anything armored. The S-8KOM is pretty much worthless, since they have no splash worth anything.
If rockets don't do enough effect, it just needs more rockets
Not that it matters in a video game, especially since you’re just playing for fun- but if you wanted to be more accurate with your brevity terms:
Visual- I see the aircraft in my formation
Blind- I don’t see the aircraft in my formation
Tally- I see the airborne threat
No Joy- I do not see the airborne threat
Contact- I see the target on the ground
Negative Contact- I don’t see the target on the ground
Either way - still cool flying in a cool video, and the music at the end was a cool combo, too. Lol the morse sounded like you had a navaid tuned in with the volume all the way up.
4:23 if I'm not mistaken the SPO-15 RWR has a limited elevation angle (according to the manual it is +/- 30 deg.). So I think it is possible that during evasive manouvers (especially at heavy banking angles) the RWR goes silent.
Exactly. You'll notice that when getting spiked from 9 or 3 o'clock. As soon as you turn into the source with more than 30° of bank, the thing goes silent.
There was no fire indication on the RWR to begin with, which is what I was referring to, indicating a launch on someone else or perhaps ET.
@@ralfidude ah, okay, gotcha, it was continuous lock signal, not the beepbeepbeep of death.
@@ralfidude BTW thanks for the upload, after watching your vid I've went for a few rounds of target practice with the 25A and I found it quite fun! (My choice of froggy is the T version usually.)
A perfect way to start the day, a good cup of coffee and the pleasant surprise of a new ralfi video :)
Enjoy!
Music kicks ass
I always put my rocket pods on the inner pylons for fear of inaccuracy.
Put hand in front of the launcher and you shall never shoot the inaccurate, because of fear of shooting fingers.
Russian rockets are very much quantity over quality
Without knowing your level of experience with the Su-25, the S-8 rockets carry blast/frag warheads which is probably why they were ineffective against armoured vehicles. The S-25L rockets are effective because they have massive warheads (150 - 450Kg depending on version). The S-8's are only really effective against troops in the open & unarmoured vehicles.
Despite being HE-FRAG, the OFP-2 are the better rockets than the KOM.
OFP has enough explosive to kill BTRs and SPAA like the Shilka or SA-19, and they don't require direct hits to kill unarmored trucks or AA emplacements unlike the KOM.
Also like someone said it's better to just salvo off the entire pod in one run, due to the inherent low hit probability of rockets in general.
@@2bae642 Yep, I'm definitely on board with the hit it hard, hit it once theory of rocket use.
Those fkin rockets are literally just a spray and pray.. And especially the pray part :D
pretty much
Ralfi never disappoints
It's a shame you don't upload everyday...
I prefer Quality over Quantity, but either way, thank you!
Like I said it's a shame but do never change! You're doing great!
Nice!!!!!
Thanks!
Those skins are great looking.
old skool planez
Ralfi, your videos make me question why I'm so goddamn awful at DCS lol
....
....
Damn fun playing though lol
9:05 this is how sergey died in the war thunder su-25 reveal vid
10:53 ate ALL THE FOD
You should have taken that sound and made a beat out of it for the montage. 😂
i was exited then i saw that loadout jk
also you should check out dcs liberation and briefing room (one a campaign generator and one msn generator)
That's what my last video was on with the F-22
@@ralfidude heck i must of missed it ill go watch it
I hate but love the su 25 they should make a full cockpit one
Ah yes, the actually fun Su-25. I hate flying the T, I only do it when I absolutely have to. Too sluggish, shit visibility, and I like the older weapons on the A better anyway. I've also learnt that while the S-8KOM sucks against light armour, the S-8OFP is surprisingly deadly. Just DCS damage model things I guess, a near miss from HE-frag does more than a direct hit from HEAT.
Also: no Cold War experience would be complete without Alpen losing his shit over SRS while someone teamkills, lmao
Y’all really loaded up a frogfoot to fight god, huh
I always forget the Su-25A is a thing. Really should fire it up again, it's been too long...
The froggy is so beautiful
I love dancing with the -25A right up until manpads join the party.
Just curious, what mod gives you the airplane map icons?
Got it: Russian style icons, ingame settings
The Soviet aesthetic
The music worked really well for you montage, how do you find it? Just a ton of manual searching? Or is there some database out there for soundtrack music suggestions?
tons of searching and a library built up on that. For everything else there is epidemicsounds.com
@@ralfidude Sweet thank you.
3:56 what does "in a perch" mean ? Is it some kind of brevity code?
Just a way of telling him I was set up and looking out while he ran in.
i cant seem to find Su25A videos online, onlythe su25T. the Su25A looks way better imo ;)
What server is that?
Just ordered the cougar MFDs so I can finally play the non-clickable cockpit aircraft without instantly raging :D why they've never updated to an interactive cockpit I will never understand...
"These rockets suck"
Nah, DCS' damage model for ground targets is just absolutely horrible, and probably won't be fixed any time soon (my guess? at least 2023)
That was an Armored APC capable of standing up to 14.5mm AP and you are tossing 80mm rockets with tiny warheads at it...outside of a direct hit, what exactly do you expect they should do to it?
If you asked Nicholas Moran what a 120mm MPAT would to do a BMP if it missed he'd tell you "well...you missed."
The ground damage model is pretty bad, I grant you that...but people overestimate the capabilities of tiny warheads blast and fragmentation against ARMORED vehicles...
@@Chrinik how about near misses with 1000lb and 2000lb bombs that do 0 damage.. I'm not underestimating the damage model, it's broken. Always has been.
@@Munky332 I did my own personal testing on this and dropping a 2000lbs bomb into a cluster of tanks destroyed usually 4-6 of them and damaged a couple more.
If I used trucks I would get considerably more kills.
The damage model is broken and very basic, but not in every concievable way. Tanks are insanely resilient to blast and fragmentation, as is expected.
They're tanks.
PLS more Su-25A videos under rated plane in DCS

Yes yes yes yes
Anyone got a link for that beautiful thumbnail
MiG-21 CAS next?
You love to see it
does rifle mean air to ground missle?
Yes
