@francesco3772 New Zealander actually, why would you say that to someone you thought was British? You know what? nevermind you are what the " hide user from my channel" button was invented for.
my buddies who flew F-5s as aggressors in the 80s talk about the A-10s doing a "circle the hogs" move where they would, as a pair, go into a 360 circle as a defensive move. No matter what you did, an A-10 was coming around to bring ordanece to bare.
I saw the A-10 here in Jodhpur, India when USAF came here for a military exercise with the Indian Air Force in September 2024. Really cool planes! These were the first USAF planes i had ever seen!
The gun with wings or flying tank. The A-10 really does soak up that damage. The ultimate revenge seeking plane. 2 Frogfoots, 2 AAA toyotas, a whole armored convoy, and a couple of bmps, all with a bit of repairable damage. The Warthog lives on
I remember seeing the A-10 Warthogs flying over my house as a kid they used to be stationed at Fort Custer at the Battle Creek Kalamazoo International Airport / National Guard base❤ they used to fly directly over my house on approach to land
I was in the Civil Air Patrol squadron stationed there. Got to meet the base commander and stuff. Loved those hogs. The Air Zoo has the blown up nacelle from the one that took an RPG to the engine.
DCS should add the realistic A10 'mark 1 eyeball upgrade' view where it shows your pilot fumble around trying to pick-up binoculars flying around the cockpit and shakily try to look through them.
I was a air force transiate alert technician,,you learned to listen for the type of jets coming in. ,,loved the A-10 and harriers,,pilots were very jack
Yes, I always tell that to myself when I think about my attempts to land a Huey. I mean, I survived everytime, heli just not as much, might have some scratches on the painting 🙃
I love that with the recent DCS update, armament goes flying off when the aircraft is hit. The aircraft must be getting so scared it poops its load. Yet again, another fantastic video.
Did you know that the A-10 technically can’t use the triple launcher AGM-65s next to the TGP because the rocket blast from the closest missile will damage it? Perhaps you could do a video with a single, heavier, penetrator Maverick (like the G or L variants) on that pylon rather that the triple launcher for the Ds?
This is not true. It's not supposed to use them, but they do in some cases. Same way you're not supposed to override the G limiter in an f18 but you could if you wanted to.
15:58 - The Toyota Hilux! For when you have to fight the Yankee Invaders at eleven o'clock and pick up bricks from builder's supply at noon! But you know who WON'T turn a used truck into a technical..?
The variety in this mission bring sme back to playing A-10 Cuba on my family's old PC. Electronics failure due to ground AA was common, as were Su-25 dogfights!
This was a great video, loved doing CAS while having friendly air and enemy air all at the same time, would be really fun to see a situation like this in a hornet, going from A2G to A2A on the flick of a switch
It would be nice, although probably impractical for DCS, to do an A-10 2-ship scenario. Rarely, almost totally unlikely for solo attack birds to be tasked without a wingman.
Many years ago in Northern Michigan at a friends cabin an A-10 flew so low over the woods we could see the pilot, and moments later we heard the sounds of muffled explosions.... they were doing live bomb drops at Camp Grayling..
I think it was honours even; 2 frogfoots for a hornet and a damaged warthog. Maybe the KA-50 tilting it slightly to the good guys. If there was a MBT along with the AFV's and Technicals, then it was a costly win.
For sidewinders (A-A Mode): coolie hat up-short (SOI HUD) + TMS up-short = Search & Lock-On Mode. Once locked, you don’t even have to be nose-on to fire.
Have you ever had a mission where you didn't have to explain something to the crew chief? The only one I remember where you weren't all shot up, you had to explain to the chief and the tax payer why you used a JDAM to pickle a tactical outhouse

I’m a USAF Crew Chief. I’d be pissed, impressed, and stoked all the same time.
As long as he got the guys that massacred your boy?

Have fun fixing it !
Oh I dunno, based on past experiences there's probably an 89% chance the crew chief was expecting a huge repair bill once GS returned anyway 🤣
13:50 GS was about to demonstrate the stealth of the A10; "the second type of stealth where you leave no witnesses"
Arguably the better "Stealth" 😭
☠😁
"nobody will notice, if there´s nobody left to notice"
i agree that this is the superior form of stealth

Deploying those cluster munitions above that armored convoy brings a whole new meaning to "cleanup on aisle 4."
Nice!

That's amazing.
A real part of history.

Love the preemptive ejection from the Frogfoot
Happens to us all at some point :)
@ 😳
When you're already damaged, out of flares, see a 9M headed your way with a hog behind it lining up for a gun run? Yeah, time to go. 😆
Woops, time to go...
@ Yep, time to get out

It's exactly what the Luftwaffe pilots were doing with the Messerschmitt Bf 110 to not instantly being shredded by a Spitfire.
I saw the A-10 here in Jodhpur, India when USAF came here for a military exercise with the Indian Air Force in September 2024. Really cool planes! These were the first USAF planes i had ever seen!
“You’re telling me THAT was a bird strike?!”
GS: “eh, birds, su-25 pilots, what’s the difference?”
Birds these days wearing helmet with red star :)
Crew chief seeing white smoke coming from the A-10 thinking "Oh for fucks sake"
Gotta love the Airforce. A "spicy landing"...and the Navy guys think its a Tuesday, going back to the boat.
The zoom in at the beginning was really nice
Crew Chief: Every. Single. Time. GS!
Dropping the nose to use gravity in the turn for the kill! All i heard in my head was, "Do some of that pilot sh*t, Mav!" So cool.
That was a spicy landing and you nailed it 👏👏

17:30 Hope GS doesn’t merge with the Toyota technicals while on the drive as he RTBs. Then again, the GAU-8 would do well head to head at that range…
Crew Chief: DAMMIT, GS!!!
Grunts on the ground: HELL YES, GS!
DCS should add the realistic A10 'mark 1 eyeball upgrade' view where it shows your pilot fumble around trying to pick-up binoculars flying around the cockpit and shakily try to look through them.
Kickin' off the weekend with a Hawg video...$$$
More CAS missions like these please!
CBUs are just devastating. Incredible. Eye popping every time i see their fury.
More A-10! Yeah baby!!
The Hog can do anything it wants. From 'Sandies,' close air support, even dog fighting. LOL
Navy should get some to escort their F/A-18's 🤣
For a long time I've wanted to see some old timey WW1 biplane dogfights and stuff. I think that would be cool.
Two idiots in a biplane would be amazing
I'm pretty sure he did that a couple of years ago in IL2
@@Soccera0 yeah I remember that one. Would be great to see another round!
I was a air force transiate alert technician,,you learned to listen for the type of jets coming in. ,,loved the A-10 and harriers,,pilots were very jack
Nice mission and great job on the landing! Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing…
Yes, I always tell that to myself when I think about my attempts to land a Huey. I mean, I survived everytime, heli just not as much, might have some scratches on the painting 🙃
@@ZachSawyer2077 😂😂
Watching these planes dogfight is like watching dump trucks drag race.
You owe that crew chief a couple of cases of beer for that one.
That butter landing with a crippled bird! Just so smooth!
I love that with the recent DCS update, armament goes flying off when the aircraft is hit. The aircraft must be getting so scared it poops its load. Yet again, another fantastic video.
U B Lucky those shots in the nose/face didn't get through! Gotta love a titanium tub!!!

Hey, Aaron, good to know. I am making models of the A10 and the positioning of the ordnance is more or less optional. Thanks, bud.
When I was play DCS A-10 my normal load out was 10% over weight. I had AGM-65x6 Aim-9 x4 GBU-12x6 and CBU-105 x2
Couldn't they just put only 2 on there, and leave the rail next to the pod empty?
This is not true. It's not supposed to use them, but they do in some cases. Same way you're not supposed to override the G limiter in an f18 but you could if you wanted to.
@@RT42069 yes, that is what is recommended
A-10 is a beautiful peace of work! Always brings you home. I wonder what the Jordanians will do with them.
Crew Chief: "You got shot up by AAA and went BACK FOR REVENGE?!"
Crew Chief watching GS take off in an A-10: "...Well, guess I'll go get the emergency recovery and repair crews caffeinated and ready."
Cluster munitions are the most awesome, bad ass weapons ever. And so cool to watch.
Just tell the crew chief to brink a bunch of beers & use the cans to patch up the a/c 😂
0:37 WCMDeez nuts lmao
Asked for A-10 yesterday. Just awesome!! Your good at driving it.!!
You're*
Another day, GS breaks another A-10.😂
Landing was butter.
GroundPound69 would be proud.
I've rewatched that CBU drop so many times now. It's therapeutic.
Definitely do more a-10 videos
i still remember that cluster bombs drop on those helis, it was pretty fun to see haha
Bro was lighting the convoi up with Cluster Bombs like its New Years Celebration what a awesome sight to see
Apparently my wish is GS' command. I've just asked for a mission where a dogfight forms naturally and here we go.
Loved the video and commentary!
Thank you for the entertainment!
These CAS videos are the best, keep doing what you're doing!!
15:58 - The Toyota Hilux! For when you have to fight the Yankee Invaders at eleven o'clock and pick up bricks from builder's supply at noon!
But you know who WON'T turn a used truck into a technical..?
Fun mission.
Thank you for the VOD. 🥃🥃
"I gotta go explain to the crew chief what happened here."
that's gonna be an unpleasant interaction.
13:53 GS being the average Canadian
Those mechanic crew chief's must love you! Always bringing back the equipment looking like a piece of swiss cheese! Lol!
2:33 is complete carnage! The darkest improptu firework show ever.
You're gonna owe the entire crew a beer on this one, not just the chief ;) haha amazing video my guy :)
Good thing the Su-25 pilot didn’t pull out his Makarov. He might have had a clean shot at you.
The variety in this mission bring sme back to playing A-10 Cuba on my family's old PC. Electronics failure due to ground AA was common, as were Su-25 dogfights!
I'd like to see you clean sweep this one eventually! Also smooooooth landing brother.
Yes, clear the way for the
F-18s and come out unscathed
Refueled that jet plenty of times when I was at Whiteman a few years back.
This was a great video, loved doing CAS while having friendly air and enemy air all at the same time, would be really fun to see a situation like this in a hornet, going from A2G to A2A on the flick of a switch
Nice landing! Good crosswind correction.
It would be nice, although probably impractical for DCS, to do an A-10 2-ship scenario. Rarely, almost totally unlikely for solo attack birds to be tasked without a wingman.
I think the Hornet pilot will have a harder time explaining what happened to HIS plane.
@16:22 why, you're good man. The master caution isn't blinking anymore.
The crew-chief will be HAPPY you brought the A-10 back home...And your butt!
Toyotas are the best, I have one to.😎Although it's a Corolla from 1998, quite old but still going strong.👍
have you tried welding an AA gun on the back of it ?
@@GrowlingSidewinder Nah what kind of question is that bruh...??☠️🤚🏻
“It’s a little too close for Mavericks…”
Nice change up. It’s like a self-referential spiral.
Very cool aircraft! I think flying an A10 over a modern battlefield would be suicide. Amazing flying as always
Su25 do it anyway. Everything on a battlefield is in danger, it’s just how you mitigate it
I dont have a clue about DCS but I watch these videos as ASMR before going to bed.
Slick plus. Keep it coming!
That Kamov is an overcooked turkey (one tough bird)!!! 😂😂.
"Vengeance is a dish best served in 30mm." Or whatever Khan said!! 😂😂
Haha, I love while the SAM is going balls out on the hornets, your just monologuing about the A10.
Awesome Vid!!
I played A10 Tank Killer back on Win95, loved ambushing Mig 17. Yep, I'm a very old gamer 75. Great Job on this one SW.
It's always a good day to be in the A-10, especially with battle damage. Love that plane... great video!
The Air Force should give the A10 to the Army.
even the landing was badass, nice video
Many years ago in Northern Michigan at a friends cabin an A-10 flew so low over the woods we could see the pilot, and moments later we heard the sounds of muffled explosions.... they were doing live bomb drops at Camp Grayling..
GOSH DARN TECHNICALS. Great flying. I would love to hope on a server with yall anytime!!
that second frogfoot pilot was smart af ejected made you waste a missile, probably reported you in the area to possibly another duo of SU25s lol
This was quite fun to watch. Bullying people in the F-22 is fine, but I do love some multi-role A-10 action.
I think it was honours even; 2 frogfoots for a hornet and a damaged warthog. Maybe the KA-50 tilting it slightly to the good guys. If there was a MBT along with the AFV's and Technicals, then it was a costly win.
she took a hard beating this time, and still got you home.
Man had to fight real hard to not fall for the temptation war crime xD
I great interview with an A-10 pilot is currently on Shawn Ryan’s podcast.
Definitely changes the dynamic when you know the SU-25s are in the mission.
For sidewinders (A-A Mode): coolie hat up-short (SOI HUD) + TMS up-short = Search & Lock-On Mode. Once locked, you don’t even have to be nose-on to fire.
Cool thing with A/A mode, if you hit TMS forward it uncages the seeker so you can pull lead before firing
Damn that was a beautiful Landing
"Uhhh Chief, this is what happened. There were these 6 Su-25s and 4 mobile AA guns..."
Warthog be like smashing multiple T-90s/BMPs and two Frogfoots with ease, but succumbs to a spicy toyota hilux
Bro is working hard , to make us happy ❤
