Thanks for the movie RR, nice to see you're still around. (Assuming you're the same RR from the old Flanker mailing list days!)
Personally I got tired of struggling with the 25T a long time ago. I still want to love it... ground-pounding is my thing after all. But whereas something like an Su-27 with dumb bombs has the horsepower to get itself out of trouble very quickly, the 25T only has *just* enough horsepower to get itself into trouble very quickly.
And once you're there it's no use asking Scotty for more power, because those Russian dilithium crystals are distinctly second-rate.
I still say the only reason they modelled the 25T is that you get two aircraft for the price of one... change the model, slow it down just a *little* more, and voila! There's your Ka-50. ;-)
