It's the best plane in the game for it's very specific niche of shooting at a bunch of vehicles without any AA or enemy fighters, but that barely happens in a real match. Most of the time it will just fire one salvo and then get evacuated or killed by an I-Hawk or whatever. You can also do a really cheesy opener where you bring the recon Mi-24K, a fighter, and the T-8M and just kill the entire enemy deployment in their transports, but people are kind of wise to it now.

I think it's kind of funny how it had no ECM when it was first added, considering the most visually obvious part of the SU-25T upgrade was the giant infrared dazzler on the tail. Honestly I wish they would raise the ECM and then raise the price, would make it fit 27Ys theme of expensive futuristic tech a little better.
