    As someone who loads munitions on jets, I can confirm that the main issue with putting gun pods on every station isn't the recoil or weight, but having the wiring in order to operate all the stations. Especially with the A-10A since it is 100% analog with controls for munitions.

    Somewhere, an A-10 is being fitted with multiple SUU-23/As for an experimental run. It labours along the runway, eating up every inch of tarmac before taking off. It's sluggish and ungainly, even for a Hog, but it manages to make it to the target zone.
    The pilot lines up the shot and presses the trigger. The motors engage in each pod, then streams of twenty-millimeter fire pour out of the aircraft.
    The immense off-axis recoil immediately starts flipping the Hog A-over-T. Doing everything to hold steady proves worse than pointless, as the engines ingest the blast gases of all those cannons and flame out. Not a single shot lands on target.
    The control officer watches as the Warthog unceremoniously tumbles to earth. He says only two words.
    "Worth it."

    The gua8 puts out 3/4 of the total thrust of both engines. The 2 20mms combined are stronger. Weight wise it can carry a full load, however the recoil would be something like 7 times the thrust of the plane so would be impractical.
    But that Russian mig-23 gun still holds the highest thrust to weight ratio of any of the guns. If you used it jetpack joyride style it would give a 50g acceleration and you'd jump mount Everest.

    You need to try the 30mm 4-barrel gun pods that they tried out on the F-16s. You might need to combine two adjacent pylons so you could mount 4 pods. Try that one on for size.

    each 30mm AP projectile is around 400g, The GAU avenger fires at 3900rpm, that's 65 rounds a second which amounts to 26 KG/s with the GAU-8 alone, + the vulcans which fires 100 g projectiles at 6000 rpm that's an extra 20kg/s with both of em. so about 46 kg/s of burst mass with that loadout.

    Me who flies this A-10C II (More modernised version of A-10A) in DCS World confirm that it CAN takeoff with full loadout and full fuel tank (while flying like a log, but it's possible)
    The same with the A-10A which is basicly the same aircraft but with old tech from 1972
    There're no additional 20mm guns to attach as a loadout implemented in DCS World, but I don't think they are heavier than 2000 lb bombs that you can attach on all pylons and fly still while having a full fuel tank.
    I'm starting to think that if you attach a small light tank on top it WILL STILL FLY! (L3 for ex.)

    The Gatling that the A-10 is built upon is a 30mm cannon that fired depleted uranium HEAP rounds. The gatling pods were an answer to the Korean war plans that missiles would dominate the dogfight - not guns. Sooo, Russia gave the US some humble pie until the gun pods were made, shipped and mounted on the planes.

  • @dennycrane2938
    @dennycrane2938 2 роки тому

    I used to crew these in the air force (I was a dcc 2004-2010, DM/Osan/Luke). The jet slows down just by firing the gun scares the shit out student pilots every time. Also, flying with even half the full treated payload usually required a centerline tank and the weight of that took all of that extra fuel and the full length of the runway just to get off the ground. It was rare to see a hawg with a full payload (and one or two pylons were always dead or had issues lol). I also crewed f16s for the last year and a half and a full Vulcan was fuel problems even for a low bypass engine. I forgot the weight of the vulcans but I'll tell your right now, no fkn way A10 pylons would hold those let alone the recoil lol. Only 4 through 8 hold anything beefy, but 5,6,and 7 would eaten by a centerline tank. And it's not just weight, it's a ton of drag. Plus you'd have to figure out a way to ensure the drums emptied equally so you didn't flip the jet. Firing less than 2 simultaneously would probably spin the yet. Honestly, the recoil would likely tear the pylon off. Haha. That jet is a bad mfer but it's still. The jet was literally built around the gau 8 and no one has been able to recreate it. Hilarious idea tho. Oh duh... You're also lacking all the hydraulics. Aiming seems like it would be problematic too. Youd have to angle the guns to the center which would just make the recoil problem worse for like 3 other reasons. Bonkers
