Nice Su25! RUS side all of a sudden got the equivalent of an A-10 woot!

Looks awesome.

Nice Plane...

[MehMan 0]

Nice, but a bit too shiny. The spec value just needs to be adjusted a bit, maybe the spec map toned down a bit.

But What's more interesting to me than the plane itself is seeing both bombs and AA missiles at once. Has the one proxy limit been removed?

[Raphier 0]

now THAT looks good! (except what looks like forest quality/quantity descrease a bit)

Darnit!  You made me clean the fingerprints off my screen!     Very niiiice..  I'm buying a few more pairs of Depends for my chance meetings with these and the Hinds.  

Those distant mountains really do look rockin' too.

Looks great. It also looks like there are going to be quite a few good places for tank engagements.

[NoRailgunner 0]

Is it the upgraded Su-25KM or the old Su-25T?

How good/bad will be the handling - are there significant differences to other planes? Does the AI use planes/helicopters in a proper way eg. using different approaches, terrain, altitude, speed?

bah .... i give up ... these forums are anyway RIP (all bow to new king vB)

Wooowholy logitech... that screenshot looks beyond awesome !

Now, if they make the handling of this plane at least somewhat realistic, it will be better than perfect.

Judging by that cockpit screen earlier, it's probably the old Su-25 (not Su-25T which got a modern HUD).

[Raidar 1]

Now that looks great!  

For me the light and reflections are perfect. Like the reflections/light on the FFAR canisters (or how ever you may call them), the wings etc. The texture of the plane shows its parallax mapping nicely with some dents and details. The only thing that is "shiny" is the glass of the cockpit, which seems to fit.

Very nice screenshot!

[xnodunitx 0]

I think that is moreso normal then parallax But yes the aircraft is great, in this case it's right to be shiny since it is painted in glossyish (reflection indicates) paint, reminds me a bit of lock on flaming cliffs in terms of sleekness of the model.

I LOVE the new picture of the huey.

Is it the upgraded Su-25KM or the old Su-25T?

The SU-25T is a different airplane compared to the Su-25, visually and somewhat in capabilites. The KM is a Georgian-Israeli upgrade, the SM is the russian upgrade, I think it has a glass cockpit. The SU-25KM has a glass cockpit and whole other bunch of fancy gadgets, including pinpoint weapons delivery system, although I wonder if they could handle GBUs or KABs.

All in all, going from the vids and pictures, we're having a bog standard Su-25. I'm not sure if we'll be seeing the export version or a russian one. The differences are not huge, it's a very basic aircraft, it's hard to remove much from it. The visual differences are at the back, the russian version has a bit more done with heat signiature dispersion by adding a cooling air vent and the exhaust has been slightly redesigned, plus more flares have been added. All this as a result from battling the stingers. There's also a slight difference between the antennas, but I can't say for sure right now.

I wonder if the steel plate between the engines was added to the export versions...hmmm.

That Frogfoot is so detailed it really deserves a fly-by view...  

I   fly-by view   

[mattxr 9]

Looks like it has a big weapon loadout too.. i see Bombs, Rockets, Cannon and a Missle...

[MehMan 0]

This has me interested, if ArmA implementes shotguns properly, perhaps we can make proper cluster bombs? Imagine that.

[Balschoiw 0]

I only vote for clusterbombs if they are simulated correctly with a detonation failure rate between 35-50 percent on the bomblets.

Should serve right for nice surprises once you roll into bombed areas

[telejunky 0]

Hell yeah! This really looks nice I hope BIS isn't only aiming for great graphics...

You noticed the distant mountains in the skybox and where they end? Sea still is sea and no 360° mountains in ArmA II Very good

Now i hope they fix the 30/31 round behavior of weapons. If you do a tactical reload (you have not fired you completely magazine) you should have actually 31 rounds to fire...

Edit haha the forum will enjoy its one week holiday in 10 minutes

[sk3pt 0]

It would be much better with some sort of low fidelity Lomac style 3d terrain in the distance imho.

[ComadeR 0]

are there shedows in forest below SU ?

are there shedows in forest below SU ?

Thats way to far away to draw out individual shadows, but it does have a nice darkened texture to hide it. Looks pretty good to me. I think everybody has to remember that the scale was improved in arma2. The world and objects compared to eachother look more realistic and are larger. Like the buildings we saw in the city from that older screenshot showing the building damage.
