No requirements to install this mod, anyone can download it!
A mod that adds a new carrier and catapult capable Su-25T variant with an invisible tailhook. I am currently trying to figure out how I can add a physical hook model that we can all see, and have completed the 3d model and animations for it.
The catapult system for this mod was not written by me, that credit goes entirely to the Community A-4E mod team from back when they still used SFM on their project.
I originally uploaded this all the way back in 2020 in a very broken state, and I stopped playing DCS shortly after uploading it. I am just getting back into this amazing game, and after seeing how popular the previous naval mods I released were, I decided to remake it from scratch, fixing the original issues and expanding on it!
Here is a discord you can join if you are interested in the progression of the naval flyable mods:

CHANGELOG v1.6:
- Cockpit position and view is now identical to the Su-25T thanks finding where the original view files are
- More flight model tuning to prevent overperformance, trying to find a balance where ski jump carriers are plausible while keeping the jet from overperforming excessively
If you encounter any more issues at all or just have a suggestion for improvement, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! Fixing bugs is the number one priority, and any ideas to help make this mod better are always greatly appreciated.
The Russian Navy skins I used for the preview photos were made by Nik_Fast and can be found here:

They made this skin for the original version of my mod and did an amazing job, definitely consider adding it to your collection!
KNOWN BUGS:
- The taxi turn radius is stupidly fast at extremely slow speeds, you spin around like a frisbee
- The jet rolls backwards when brakes are not held down on a carrier deck, you can press pause while holding down the brakes or in multiplayer press pause and go into the controls menu while holding it down to let it hold itself down for now
INSTALLATION:
All that you need to do is paste the Su-25NT folder inside of your Saved Games directory (ex: C:\Users\USER\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\aircraft)
If you have never installed a mod like this before and do not have a Mods folder in Saved Games,
you are meant to make your own, then also make the aircraft folder inside.
