honesty its something that shouldn't be in game anymore, my whole squadron agrees that a pilot snipe yea auto j out but as long as the plane isn't into the ground it shouldn't force j out
Imagine going head-on-head with this thing and as soon as it shoots, you realise it’s using tracerless Who said the A10 couldn’t dogfight? (In a balanced way)
@@nikoclesceri2267 All you have to do is pull away from it. The a10 is going to be up against a bunch of planes that can literally just decide to pull up and reset the fight.
When this gets released, better hope you have competent teammates that will cover you. Cuz I can just see this thing being easy prey in general due to it's slow speed.
@@molstad182 true. I was scrapping against two A-10s and an AV8 by myself in the 262 and went 5-0. They finally got me but I was caught fighting a 10 when the AV-8 got missile lock. Oops.
@@trader2137 I’d hate to disagree but considering how much literal damage it can take and still fly compared to even props let alone dishing out damage the A-10 is way better.
Damage models are extremely buggy or way too tough. I mean sometimes you can hit multiple times and get just a critical hit that means nothing and enemy can fly okay. Also hits without dmg with 20mm and 30mm are way too common. That's like if somebody detonated an handgrenade on thin aluminium fuselage. And it causes no damage or problems with flying the thing...
@@vladimirvojtaml I've had to stop playing most American planes due to the .50cals doing little to no damage in passes. It just sucks that it can sometimes take 900 .50cal rounds to finally take down a fighter. I have a feeling gaijin has done this on purpose for balancing or something since the americans tend to have way more ammo in their planes than other nations.
@@masonreppeto882 It definitely feels like there's a handicap on US planes. Literally the only use I have for them at 6.0-ish is Ground RB. Drop bombs and fucking book it to the runway lest a shitbox Nazi plane with a single machine gun or a borderline fictional premium jet turns me into glorified scrap metal with a single burst. F4U-4B is somewhat of an outlier but I've still had enemy planes absorb 100+ rounds of 20mm HEFI. Comparable Axis planes that I fly, even with smaller guns or fewer guns altogether seem to do more damage.
@@masonreppeto882 bro the 50. Cals are the best MGs in the game. And I'm saying that as a US main. They're by far the most consistent and if you need 900 rounds to kill there's something wrong with your aiming
The A-10 has a 3 second limiter on the gun per burst (recoil will literally kill airspeed and stall the plane) but doesn't look like they have that modeled
@@atomewillemin4142 it hasn’t been used against aircraft as far as I’m aware. I guess I should have clarified. 🤷♂️ I’ve seen videos (I think Defyn) taking head-on’s with kikka’s and Sabres and only doing minor crits. I highly doubt that is realistic.
@@atomewillemin4142 well it seems to shred when shots are hit, seems like one very weird gun to get used to. Also the rounds are mostly armors piercing irl so it would just go through planes instead of explode and lite fires and stuff like that.
This plane should drop to 8.7 - 9.3 battle rating with that kind of loadout. 6 AGM 65 Battery and GAU-8 combo is super effective in ground battle but the amount of "Auto aim, shoot, and forget" Anti-Air vehicles at 8.7 - 10.7 is also super scary for a plane that can't even outrun the P-51 Mustang.
@@spray916 Yeah to be honest it's going to get the PaK 40 Puma treatment. People complaining that it is to OP and people complaining that its just right then jack up the entire BR. In the hands of the right player it will be a living nightmare on the battlefield but in the hands of a complete amateur, target practice for everybody else.
Very cool, and sadly very bad aircraft. I have well over 5k hours in War Thunder and I'm sorry to report this thing will probably not do what people are gonna think it can do. The SPAAs in this game can slap a Phantom doing Mach 2 in orbit through the chaff. They're gonna have no problem smoking this thing. It'll be cool, for sure, but it's not gonna buzz around wiping entire enemy teams with the gun.
I'm excited to see the A-10 finally be introduced. It's been waited on for a long while, and while speculation runs rampant, it's really going to surprise on a lot of fronts. Many are going to automatically assume it's fodder since it doesn't fit the Meta, and while certainly it may easily be ganked for the many that aren't able to properly use it's strengths, I think there will be many who learn how to fight with it. It's been some time but if I remember right you had a Video of the A-10 versus multiple Su-27's, and I think situations such as that will develop a lot, and surprise many who think they had an 'easy win'. Not to mention the A-10 will have All-aspect IR missiles, which I don't think many aircraft do have.
pretty much all newish russian and german aircraft get all aspect IR missiles so it will struggle in air to air combat but as a ground striker it should be useable
@@gaelan2k9 no i find it funny how he didn’t lead, it was never because he didn’t zoom. he will NEVER survive with that aim, i use the A-7D and man your aim can mean the difference between life and death because if you can’t kill certain jets within the first few seconds YOU’RE MOTHERF*KN DEAD
Your turning isn't really so overzealous as you might think. :) I lived next to the 74th fighter squadron for a long time and got to see these guys practically every day. Standard practice after firing a 1.5 second burst on the cannon was to flair the nose up sixty-ish degrees and bank until they were nearly inverted- and don't forget launching 6-8 chaffs from the ECM pod when you make that turn!
"Fit right in" as it gets destroyed by the current meta. This thing will be shredded at 8km by some spaa, or 20km by a Mig23 or any other jet with SARH missiles. It doesn't even take that much. The JASDF F86 would dominate the A10. I love the A10, but it's hopelessly outmatched.
You can turn in a ballistics computer for the guns which will tell you exactly where to shoot, it’s in the settings, called “ballistics computer”. It’s a life saver
I talked about the redundant flight control surfaces with a buddy. I think gaijin should make this the only plane capable of loss of both redundant controls to be able to still control albeit heavily reduced making flight still precarious especially in a dive. The A-10 actually has 2 redundant flight control surfaces apart from its main. It can fly with the loss of both hydraulic controls because it has a third manual control capability but it's really hard to control the aircraft. I think this should be modeled to help give the rather vulnerable plane a chance to survive further
Literally just gonna be another case of the maus. Too low br its op af but too high it just gets destroyed... Also cant wait to do some dogfighting in this
Bruh what about the SPAA? Remember this guy only operates in friendly airspace for a reason, and most of the time the enemy doesn’t even have 20mm AA, at this br there is enough SPAA with radar lead of the aircraft to keep everything away from the fight, also these are bots, I doubt it will survive air to air engagements when it’s being boom and zoomed and etc
Rocket trajectory is called CCIP - Constantly computed impact point, and you can turn it on/off for the main gun. That doesnt apply to cockpit HUD - you need to switch sight mode. Both of that you can do in-game using the *ultimate mechanization menu* ™ pressing Y.
Quick tip on war thunder overall, you can press M2 or Z to zoom and get a better view, I personally struggle with spotting ground targets 'cause my eyes suck and that has helped me alot!
Quoting an f15 pilot "the a10 can turn up its own ass". Lol. At red flag usually when they are loaded up with sidewinders they tend to get quite a few kills on fighters who try to pounce on them.
Oh yes, and it will still take around 84,000 days. All the math is explained in great detail and with metric units too! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BGvDSiFks5E.html
I'll be honest, I always love it when an A-10 comes into a video game, but War Thunder in my opinion did this plane wrong. Even though it is a low res early access model, the sound and the way the plane flies just looks and sounds weird. The sound for starters sounds like the terrible might be a little too high and honestly doesn't sound like the real BRRRRT that we all know and love about the A-10. And yes I know that War Thunder doesn't do great cockpit and HUDs are a new area for the game, but it honestly this cockpit (again in my opinion) does not serve the plane well. DCS has the same nonlockable simple flight model A-10A and it looks LEAGUES better than this model and cost a fraction of this one in War Thunder (the DCS A-10A is also 10 years OLDER than the War Thunder model). I maybe spoiled by DCS but I feel War Thunder should make some MAJOR improvements for this plane to be passable in the game. At the end of the day its all about fun and if it give people that then by all means have fun.
60 bucks for a war thunder aircraft...paid 10 bucks for the A-10CII, and 40 bucks for the A-10C in DCS many moons ago and I get more for the money. Overpriced if you ask me, glad I dont play it.
