Look what's coming soon!

It's complete shit. In order to use a ground attack plane you have to have complete air superiority. Since when have you ever seen that happen in War Thunder? Never. It can't even outrun a BF109G let alone any jet it's put up against. You're literally a sitting duck that has to rely on not being seen and that only works in a Monty Python skit.
 
Only if they want to engage in a dog fight, otherwise it's a missile. No one wins against a missile most times unless you can get lost in the ground scatter.
But seriously the turning ability alone would fuck up a gun engagement.

Power leveling. Everyone talks about its cannon/weapon arsenal. What makes the A 10 such a dangerous weapon is

1. It's redundancy on just about everything on that plane. If I remember correctly everything from electronics down to the hydraulics are dual to triple redundancy.
2. The turning radius is one of the shortest in modern history. This attack plane is designed for the battlefield up front and personable.
3. The titanium cockpit provides maximum protection for it's pilot and I believe it is still the best that you can get for a attack air plane.
4. The positioning of the engines makes it difficult to get a lock on from heat guided weapons.

This is the real plane you want to be in a real combat situation s proven time and time again of bringing pilots home in damage that would knock out almost all planes in the air.

However what will happen is that Stalin with his mighty mustache will come to the rescue and gimp the fucker.

And hello everyone. :)

Hey, Charlie!

I have the A10 in CTS but can't fly it yet because I need a better flight stick. My old Logitech is on the fritz.

I haven't touched War Thunder in months since I started Elite Dangerous.
