      A-10A is premium. A full day's wage will buy it for you. as for the A-10C, it's not that deep into the tech tree, US air is completely overpowered all the way through 7.7, and the grind is extremely fast. Just do AB until you get past 7.7, and then switch the RB once you have a decently fast vehicle. You'll have the A-10 pretty quick. Harrier is also a good shortcut, too. It's not the meta anymore, but the AV-8A is still very very good bc it will always get to the Frontline before everything else and it has more countermeasures than it actually needs. Just zoom in, bomb a base, kill the next two enemies with missiles, and then pound ground until you run out of ammo. You probably will die, but repair cost is dirt cheap. Rinse and repeat. You'll have an A-10 inside of three months if you can handle that every day. Mind numbing, but also very fast progression.

    I think the A-10 is a beast used correctly. The A-10 is such an iconic plane known in the WT community and in general IRL. When new players see the A-10 they buy it not knowing how to play CAS or WT in general, giving the A-10 a reputation of being useless and not “not good”. It’s pretty much down to user experience to determine if the A-10 is “good or bad”.

      The reason the A-10 is a legend is not because it can defeat every target, it’s because it kills and maneuvers beautifully in it’s intended scenario. The people that call it useless don’t know how to use it. In conclusion, it is the best at its intended purpose, buy it knowing what it’s used for and you won’t be disappointed.

    the A-10 has always been my favorite aircraft. So when it was finally announced, I immediately pre-ordered the A-10(E) and got the A-10(L) on launch using GE. I have flown a lot of hours in the A-10C (Both I & II) in DCS. the Weaponry on the C may be more advanced but the Tactics are still there and I use a very similar loadout on the A-10C that is close to what I use one the A-10(L). using AGM-65D Mavs, unguided Rockets/Bombs and AIM-9Ls. I learned early on in DCS that the Mavericks are the A-10's best friend to take care of Anti Air Defenses early on to make attacking the remain Ground Units easier. in War Thunder Ground RB, I have hardly ever used the Gun because I know to keep my distance from any potential Radar SPAA and rely on the Mavericks. I try to get my lock and fire before I get within 4km from the enemy line. Because any closer and I'm more likely to be food to SPAA. If I do use the Gun, I make sure to use Stealth Rounds since that is the A-10's main belt of use in real life so that way the enemy can't see where the shots are coming from. My best match so far has gotten me 3 ground and one air kill on the Berlin Map. 1 was a MBT and two were SPAAs. 1st SPAA kill was on the first Mav pass and then the 2nd SPAA and MBT on the 2nd pass with mavs and then a AIM-9L on an SU-7 as I was clearing from my 2nd pass. It is an amazing CAS aircraft, as long as it's flown right. in GRB, distance and Mavs are key to survive longer in my personal opinion. As much as I would love to BRRRRRT everything on the ground, the SPAA make it a little too dangerous to make that kind of risk.

    • @Drakey_Fenix
      @Drakey_Fenix 2 роки тому +4

      I think the main reason you are getting so many kills atm is because there are countless new players that have never used planes before, because this just released and the plane has been overhyped for years at this point. Wait a few months and this will change. I have seen enough battles already where A10 players almost hit the ground because they are so reckless and there are so many of them in every match. So I don't think this is something that translates very well to the longterm of engagments with A10's. Skilled players stay back and don't fly into the cannons of their enemies and use smart weaponry such as the mavericks.

      Practice in test flight thats what I had to do. The mavericks should be your go to for guided ordinance. Set a key bind for fire air to ground missiles. Also set key binds for the ballistic computer for both cannon and rockets. This will let you see exactly where your gau will impact and will also allow you to lock enemies with mavericks without going into that sight.
      If youre going to use that sight, set key bind for lock air to ground missles/rockets whatever. When in the sight center the vehicle in the middle and lock, the camera will lock and youll be good to fire. The thing with the mavericks is youll need decent altitude and the nose of the aircraft needs to be pointed somewhat in the direction of the tank youre firing at. If youre flying too fast over the target the missile wont be on target and will miss… if you dont have enough altitude the missile will probably land short.
      In short have some decent altitude and be in a position over the targer that will give your missile the easiest path to hit what your firing at. Too low or too bad of an angle and your slow missile will struggle to hit… otherwise they should land directly onto that sucker.
      Hope this helps.

    The A-10A did not receive LASTE until 1991-92, roughly ten years after entering active squadron service in Europe, just after the first Iraq war (ODS). No weapons aiming computer until then. No LCOSS gun-snake. No CCIP/CCRP bombing.
    The A-10A did not receive NVIS until around 1995-96, about half way through the Operation Deny Flight campaign in FRY. The aircraft could (and we did) operate with NVGs before this. But we had to tape over most of the (red lit) instruments and install velcro chemlight holders with tinted windows in the cockpit while flying with the external slime lights turned off so as not to dazzle the period ANVIS-9 goggles. Typically ended up changing the chemlights around halfway through a 4-5hr mission.
    The AIM-9L is just next to worthless on the A-10 so there is no point in not putting both missiles on the DRA. Without a radar to cue the missile seeker, it just sits and spins the reticle in self-acquire mode which is completely worthless for most of the targets (sub-horizon, cooled exhaust, helicopters or very fast CAS) as you are at or inside RMin before you are sure you are not aiming at a hotspot on the ground and crossing threats zip in and out of the ~27.5` acquisition cone way too fast to be tracked.
    One thing which is absent and shouldn't be is the ALQ-119 or ALQ-131 shallow pods. Both of which were essential for defeating radar directed SPAAG and RFCG SAMs like SA-8 and Roland (in Iraq).
    So much for realism...

      It can, but can't. It's ultimately limited by War Thunder's ability to replicate physics. It can fly on a half wing in much the same way that a Sabre, MiG-23, or Spitfire can in game. It'll take more damage to get the A-10 to lose a wing or 1/2 a wing, but after it reaches that point, War Thunder in game physics take over.
