    Looks like the enemy has ordered their troops to avoid all outhouses and port-a-potties whenever an A-10 is operating in the area. Wise decision.

    Old retired guy and former soldier here, and I’m currently learning the A10 CII. You answered the question I came to ask about targeting at the 9:50 mark in the video about which view you use to find targets. I’m training on Mavericks now, and I’m having a difficult time targeting any targets that aren’t out in the open. I was constantly on CCV mode instead of using the white hot or black hot to locate targets, then switching back. Changing to white or black hot should rectify the problem. Keep up the good work. I really enjoy your videos.

You can imagine the GMLRS would be the 181K tungsten penetrators that cover a 180 m radius circle! Yeah a 2K bomb is way too big for BMP! I imagine the friendlies love it when you buzz them after covering their fronts!
