He obviously has a low opinion of the A10.

That’s the joke. It doesn’t.... *BRRRRRRRRRRRT*

I've seen them in combat...on a really big screen...with really good optics and zoom. I can assure you that even practice runs and being targeted by the A-10 at any time would be a come to Jesus moment if you are playing as the enemy.

@@Deathbomb9 not a lot you can do about in an electric truck limited to 20mph. 2, sometimes 3 would be overhead a few days a month. We just accepted it, just another day.

@@v8trauma that was my reality, but about 2-3 times a week in Afghanistan. But those beasts were on my side lol. Loved having them around, wouldn't want to be on the recieving end for sure. I have a feeling the first time it happened you had so many thoughts, but the biggest thing was "woah, cool". Probably about the first time an AH-64D Apache Longbow popped up over a treeline in a sim arms game and wiped my entire tank platoon from about 600m and we never heard or saw it. To be called and told you're dead then see it, a sight many never get to experience when facing that thing for real, it puts some things into perspective for sure when you already knew what they could do but still ended up as another tallymark on the door. That's just me talking from taking that stuff seriously and knowing it's value. It was my job and I loved it, and adding in other forces and different skill sets you end up at a point where you're essentially the 300 but take very few casualties or injuries and can completely stop the armies of Zercies.

@@Deathbomb9 it never even crossed my mind anything could go wrong. As hazardous as station life was, we were never under fire. Though some years later, odd videos did pop up when mobile phones became a thing. They were rather informative, one was at night from an Apache (later confirmed by a dude at Le Mans. Apparently it was part of an investigation and we weren't supposed to see it blah blah) Three blokes, scampering around, near a tractor. Everything warm was white, then all of a sudden several white streaks and spots of white where people had been. As you say, totally oblivious that the end was near. That was a middle eastern conflict. Incidentally, you haven't lived until you've listened to two guys pissed as idiots on cheap champagne, arguing about how many blades were on the tail rotor. One bloke repaired the airframes, the other made bits for the gearboxes. Even after a couple of hours of listening to them argue, I still don't know.

@@v8trauma you lost me there for a moment. Are we talking about videos that shouldn't haven been made public but were? I've witnessed a few of those things live. Shouldn't have been saved but then again there's no transfer records on "civilian contractor" laptops. Can't tell you what ones, but some are viewable on this app or there are clips floating around. I've seen video and been front row and center for things I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. War is horrific, but getting to see the skills of guys coming out of it or tactics developed because of it is something that a lot of people don't get first hand. The boys using you and your truck crews as practice were probably operational in desert storm or OEF/OIF.

Ah yes, a fellow frogfoot enthusiast

I see you are a man of culture

Man of culture right here

Sucki optics, russian ground crew, big bird

the iron tadpole isn't the prettiest aircraft yet it still has so much charm to it

Got me too. Well gonna go root for the super Tucano now

Awesome plane. Loved the book/movie Flight of the Intruder...

Me still Wartung for tornado

Yes the A1 skyraider is the best cas ever made. And it's just amazing how useful she was for such an old girl

AD4N here

@@wyattwilliams2457 what’s the difference between the ad-1 and the A-1 ? The same thing as between the B-25 and the PBJ ?

i love the skyraider

​@@philvanderlaan5942 It's and old WWII US Navy/Marine designation. The "D" in AD-1 meant it was designed by the Douglas Aircraft Corporation. And there's numerous between the B-25 and PBJ. The PBJ is a patrol bomber equipped with radar and used for anti-shipping/submarine role. And like before, B-25 is the then USAAF designation and PBJ is the USN/Marine designation. PBJ meaning Patrol Bomber North American Aviation.

@@Taka_Yamato I was in US Naval Aviation (87-93) I know about the R4D the PBJ the PB4Y-2 and the PB-1G and also the R5D

Yea cause like magazine would only last for something like 7 seconds

@@thelegoman1176 it's more like a full load would last about 17.5sec but they never ever carry a full load even if they were facing a near peer force.

They can only fire in 1-2 second bursts purely because of how hot the gun gets

@@Slungus_bunny69 that's not true at all. That gun can fire for almost a minute straight before heat starts to effect accuracy enough to say it matters. The firing of the gun is so violent that it actively slows the plane. It also pushes powder smoke and fumes into the cockpit. 1-2 seconds is what they pull because any longer and the forces effect accurately placing rounds on target, and because that's all they need to paint a large area with enough fire that any more would be a waste of ammunition. It also allows them to have lots of short bursts over a few long bursts. It's not about heat at all. Not even close. It carries less than 200 rounds per barrel.

Well to be fair that's not a jet

I like the f 111 aardvark

Yay! 111!

Pig or Hog, or is it the translation?

@@rafaelsc3071 Vark is short for Aardvark, the name of the F-111.

The F-35 is as much of a ground attack aircraft as the F-16.

​@@epikmanthe3rd F-16 is a dogfighter?

YOU THOUGHT THE FIRST JET TO BE MENTIONED WAS THE A-10 BUT IT WAS I THE DRAGONFLY

And having terrible effect on target without guided munitions

@@voler_1925 When I think about it, most of the problems with A10 come from the stupid cannon. Remove it, add more missiles and you have a pretty good attack jet.

​@@lordmuhehe4605 Even then, the A-10 is still highly vunerable against any country with even the lightest of anti-air weaponry. It is slow by 1946 standards, let alone 2022 standards.

​@@lordmuhehe4605isn't that the su-25.... Crap ton of missiles

How many has it killed? Let's see the numbers. I'll wait...

out of all the planes at that time, no other threw sticky fire more precise than the a-1 this meant it can provide close air support, closer to friendly troops than any other aircraft

@@then00brathalos "Sticky fire"? You mean napalm?

damn that's some long range shots

@@beaclaster you heard the explosive round hit the target...THEN you hear the gun fire.

@@SATELLITEDOWN7735 still it's usually just 1-3 seconds

@@SATELLITEDOWN7735 explosive? aren't they armor piercing?

@@beaclaster both really.

Screw it being Russian that doesn’t matter. It’s a really fucking cool aircraft

The su25sm3 it's superior... and rhe su25t can use the kh25L , kh25t , the kh29l / kh29t and the ataka and the wikhir missiles

I'm torn between those two... A-10 simply for brrrrrrrrrr and the harrier because it was the precursor to modern F-35s and was simply ahead of its time.

Tell that to the last 20 years of active service...

It’s the only one most of us non plane/jet nerds recognize

What's the total number?

When the F-4 Phantom is an attack aircraft then the F-35 is also an attack aircraft. But you know what the F means

The Gepard it's obsolete against the a10c and su25sm3. The su25sm3 have the kh58 arm and wikhir and the a10c the agm65 ... Only the tugunska / pantsir with their missiles it's a menace

And f/a-18 stands for fighter/attack 18, but f18 is not attack aircraft it is a multirore! And no multirole is not the same as attack aircraft.

Yea Yea i dont care
