Su-25 Frogfoot Vs. A-10 Warthog

[Petey]

I'm having an argument with my friend over which bomber is stronger, the Frogfoot or the Warthog. To me, I think its the Frogfoot because of all of those rockets it comes with, but idk. Which one was designed to be better???
And what are the advantages and disadvantages for each one???

Thanks

afaik, the A-10 has a rather large cannon, and has several load outs (rockets, clusterbombs, etc.) it can fly with missing pieces of the wings. and the A-10 looks better imo.

(your talking about real life right?)

in game, the A-10 IMO is better.... buts its just sexy

I dont know much about the frogfoot but the A-10 can hold up to like 20,000 pounds of weapons. This includes anti tank missiles, dumb bombs, rockets, cluster bombs, laser guided bombs, incendiary bombs, anti air missiles, and last but not least its 30mm GAU-8/A Avenger gatling gun with 1,350 rounds. THATS A rather large GUN!! That gun can kill any tank known today with a 3 or 4 second burst!!

So with that in mind i would also like to say that i have had sex with an A-10 and its good.... You decide.

EDIT: oh and in game i say they are the same but just based on looks and the fact that the A-10 is American I'd pick the A-10.

Well I hope you used protection, cause those bullets are big!

In RL, the A-10 beats the Su-25, the Su-29 is a closer match.

I'd agree to this.

The A-10 in reallife has all the hitech weapon systems really. The Frogfoot doesn't even have a HUD... and still old-school navigation equipment . (PR makes an exception with a hud, unfortuneately)

As for in PR. The A-10 is far better than the Frogfoot in many areas. They both have the same amount of bombs (2), guided missiles (4), and AA missiles (2), so no differences there.

But the amount of rockets versus cannon bullets is a big difference. The Frogfoot as 128 rockets which are GREAT for infantry because of the huge splash damage they have, however since they are left-right unloading, they are not 100% accurate in your crosshairs. When trying to kill armor, you usually have to unload a lot of rockets to get a kill, and your gun ammo which is limited can only help so much. Thus you run out of rockets and gun ammo quickly, and usually have to make a 2nd pass on your target (NOT GOOD).

As for the A-10, the 15 some-odd rockets is just there for the last remaining kills if you need to finish off a smoking tank or something (or get some infantry). The A-10 cannon is far superior than the rockets when killing armor, no question about that. You can do one full dive/pass on a heavy armor tank and kill it with your cannon, easily. And with 1500 rounds, you can stay up quite long using the gun after you've run out of all the other heavy rounds. A-10 can stay up much longer in my opinion, and has a much better role at killing armor (heh, what its made to do!). I love the A-10, and the SU25 is fun too if I so happen to be on MEC side. But I'd take the A-10 over the SU25 any day.

I've stayed in the air longer using only the gun left as ammo, and it is a life saver (for me and other teammates). Especially when your teammates tell you migs are in the air and they need to shoot them down before you can safely land on the runway --- Meanwhile you can continue to give support with just your cannon and help the team.

It's the SU-39, not 29. 29 is a piston powered aerobatics planes

Personally, I'd give the -39 the edge in RL as it has the ability to go super-sonic, very comparable turn radius, and about as tough as the A-10. The ability to hit and outrun the Warthog gives it the advantage imo.

In game, nothing touches the GAU-8 Avenger!
