When you enter in air to air mode, make HUD SOI and hit TMS UP. Then your AIM9 will enter in search mode, and if find a heat source will lock at it. Much better than trying to lock whit the HUD. Also you can move the seeker where you want.
Really been enjoying these A-10 mission videos. They seem to be getting more and more complex and difficult and that's great to see. This one may have been the best so far. Something cool to see would be a short bit at the beginning talking about how you decide to load out the A-10 for the mission and why you made those choices.
In the A-10C training missions they teach you that the range on the APKWS is 5.2 miles, at least from a decent height, and I've found that to be an effective range in my use of them. No need to wait for the circle dial to start to wind down.
Love the A-10 videos! Just discovered your channel today and you have earned yourself a new subscriber man. The A-10 is one of my favorite planes. Amazing
Growling brings up a great point here, one you should never fall into: Confirmation Bias. GS saw the fast mover in side profile, it had an irregular exhaust plume, with spurts of black soot... he immediately thought of the MiG-29's dirty engines, like the J-79 equipped third gen US jets from the 60's and 70's and said, "that is a Fulcrum... good tone, firing." It rolled and showed the top plan form/view of an... F-15. He as not being reckless, he simply succumbed to confirmation bias. He wanted his evaluation to be correct, without seeing the need to deconflict. Glad to see he noticed it and mentioned needing to buy the Eagle Driver a beer... but a few cases and handles of Scotch Whiskey is what I'd be sending instead, having shot an all aspect heater at a blue force jet. Great lesson for all of us. Be professional and don't fall for hunches and guesses.
Saw this winged beast at the Atlanta Air show last year. The sound of the A10 cruising over is absolutely beautiful. I just got back from the ATL air show today, and no A 10 this year. But it was replaced by the F22 Raptor 😮
A-10 content is by far my favorite. I enjoy seeing other planes, for sure, but I think I like how this is somewhat more laid back and less chaotic. If I can ever afford getting a plane in DCS, I'd want the A-10. Air-to-ground just seems to be my jam. I'd expand on that eventually but the cost is fairly prohibitive for now. Keep up your awesome content and I'll keep watching!
I'd like to see some fast paced A10 content. Like you have an emergency fire mission in contested airspace where you have to run through terrain to avoid enemy radar and finish off with a quick yet devastating strike. Maybe you only really have time for one strike because once you pop up the enemy scrambles aircraft to take you out, and the little or complete lack of escorting aircraft means you can't loiter in the area and expect to survive. Sounds interesting because, as you've said in many videos with the hog before; it's not very capable of operating in contested airspace.
loool the problem with the scenario you painted there is that the a-10 doesn't do anything "quickly" the enemy can have lunch and then scramble and I'd still be exiting the airspace.
The F-15E module is missing a lot of stuff atm. No JDAMs, no JHMCS, no glide bombs, no datalink, no mavericks (not that they're super useful for the F15). It's also not as good as a CAS platform because of loadout limitations. That said, it's still a monster with LGBs and can do things the A-10 couldn't dream of because of it's speed and performance
Much respect showing you firing on the F15. A lot of channels would cut that out. It shows how quick shit happens and I thought it was a MIG as well. Another file in evidence to show why you're the fucking man. Great video as always GS.
I am loving the A-10 videos. I would also like to see more of the multirole mission videos where you take on both air and ground targets in a complex environment. They're probably a bit harder to set up but they are my favorite type of vid!
really enjoy the a-10 content. maybe throw yourself into campaigns like Persian Freedom and super-cut the missions to an entertaining format or use single engagements from the missions ;) you´ll get a wide variety of scenarios, limited set of munitions and have to use nine-lines and attack vectors.
Love these vids GS!! A-10 has a special place in my heart, thing is beauty armed to the teeth!! Know a lot of guys that got saved by this weapons system^^ Next time a troops in contact danger close to spice things up?
Love the A10 stuff, the BVR stuff, the missions you do, like help a B22 to deliver havoc or intercept something. Great content, great flying ! Love it !
Hi, following you for quite some time now but commenting first time. Really enjoy your videos. I don't know why you have not posted a video of Su 57 versus J 20. BVR as well as Dogfight.
I actually dealt with those laser rockets and they were scary as hell to load simply because of how long they were. Thought I was gonna die when a five foot woman I was working with slipped and fell with a live rocket in her hands. She just cradled the rocket and took the full brunt of the fall. The rocket broke in half and we got to deal with EOD for hours.
Its nice that you ask the viewers what videos they want to watch, but I'm here for the content whatever it is, and its your channel so do what you want to do....
How hard would you say it is to become proficient in the A10? currently just main the F18. Love the content by the way, your effort doesn't go unnoticed!
Thanks very much, honestly, the A-10 is super easy if you're familiar with the concepts of SOI and SPI and MFD management, which I assume you are coming from the F-18 it would be pretty simple to pick up (at least that's my 2 cents)
You can shoot laser rockets up to 5K easily. The range rings in the rocket aiming cue are just for ballistic unguided rockets. You just need to give them a little bit of elevation so they can reach.

Day 113 of asking for A-10 vs F-14
Day-24 Asking GS to do Dogfight with an F-14 Wings retracted only
LOVE THE VIDS!
@@erasmus_lockeApache would get obliterated
Love the A-10
That friendly F-15 was lucky he wasn't an outhouse. That fox-2 would've tracked for sure.
I wonder what callsign you'd get for blowing up a friendly outhouse in a training exercise.

If you look real close you can see the f 15 pilot's extended middle finger.
GS always laughing as he inflicts ungodly destruction makes my day every time.
And the ,,is that a tank" BRRRRRRRR had me rolling
"Is that a tank?"
BRRRRRRRRT
"Naw, just some scrap metal on fire"
The good old GS death chuckle! 😂
I'm amazed at all the armament the Hog carries.
Hey if you keep making these videos everyday of your life, I guess I'll just keep very happily watching them everyday for the rest of my life.
When you enter in air to air mode, make HUD SOI and hit TMS UP. Then your AIM9 will enter in search mode, and if find a heat source will lock at it. Much better than trying to lock whit the HUD. Also you can move the seeker where you want.
Luckily for that F-15 pilot he didn't do that.
5:35 honestly im pretty surprised that the MI-8 can hold its own in a one circle with the A-10 🙃
I mean, you shouldn't be. Helicopters are basically defined by their ability to have a 0-radius turn.

Ah, Blue on Blue. The A-10's speciality

Thank you very much and welcome to the channel happy to have you.
I was doing CAS (in dcs) for friendlies in the A-10C II and dropped a 500 pounder on a friendly squad 😅(guess I’m living up to the A-10’s reputation…)
That was fantastic! Love the targeting aids, makes it sooo much easier workload and awareness.
The powers that be are nuts to retire them.
Definitely more A-10 vs. Outhouse. Thats definitely comic relief. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
A10 stuff absolutely NEVER gets old!
It feels like if it’s a blue on blue incident with the a10 involved the fatality rate immediately goes to 100%

9:19 - When he saves your tail, buy him a beer. When you almost accidentally kill him, buy him a steak.
Or a house.
Best A10 video to date. Feels like a real world combat scenario. Loving the integration of other A10s
Saw this winged beast at the Atlanta Air show last year. The sound of the A10 cruising over is absolutely beautiful. I just got back from the ATL air show today, and no A 10 this year. But it was replaced by the F22 Raptor 😮

Ps... what do you have against rockets? Lol. 6 rocket pods and only 3 rockets used
Yes! Bring on the A-10 videos! Love the sound effects of the fly-bys.
@11:30 that barrage was a classic Time on Tarrget Strike. ❤ it!
I wanna see ALL the A-10 videos. Absolutely love them, and this brrrrrrtiful plane. Thanks for making them!
Absolutely keep the A10 coming... great narrative and missions. Nice change up.
Love the Hog content too man! Will be my next aircraft to learn for A2G. I’m still learning my F-15e lol
This was AWESOME! I love the A-10. More please :)
Shoot down your own air cover to assert dominance
The first person landings are definitely entertaining! I like the flight sim aspects of DCS as much as the fight sim aspects.
Haha, love how the F15 realizes he's been launched at and just immediately goes nose to the sky and flares. As Clarkson says... MORE POWA!

How does the F-15 Strike Eagle compare to the A-10 in terms of ground attack capability? Would be cool to see some F-15E + A-10 action

13:35 Wow, that last Maverick and gun run. I thought, hey, maybe a JDAM could’ve been tossed…then GS switches to JDAMs and does it. 👍
You know what's better than one A-10! Two A-10s!
agreed, I"ll be in touch soon, I have some cool missions for us.
Love your videos. Is there anyway you can show the controls you are using with the A-10 Thrustmaster Control inputs?
When you're on the receiving end of the BRRRT, you find out real quick that friendly fire isn't so friendly...
I am loving the A-10 videos. I would also like to see more of the multirole mission videos where you take on both air and ground targets in a complex environment. They're probably a bit harder to set up but they are my favorite type of vid!
Personally I don't mind ground pounding, but it'd be nice to see other aircraft do it.
Man this game is awesome. I could watch these A10 videos all day. Great channel.
Blue on blue and the A-10, name a more iconic duo, I'll wait.
12:25
It’s crazy to think how a tiny dot in the distance can cause such destruction. That’s the A-10 for ya.
Loving the A-10 videos. It would be cool to have you in an A-10 and Casmo in an Apache. Maybe some buddy lasing.
a interesting A-10 story for those interested would be Gary Wolf flying a Battle Creek MI A-10, was hit over Iraq and lost an engine, almost entirely.
Such a cool photo
@neighbor-j-4737 Yeah, the one of the engine torn up!
@@j.k1688
Being from Michigan near Battle Creek makes me double proud. We ain't much, but we sure are fcuking durable...
really enjoy the a-10 content. maybe throw yourself into campaigns like Persian Freedom and super-cut the missions to an entertaining format or use single engagements from the missions ;)
you´ll get a wide variety of scenarios, limited set of munitions and have to use nine-lines and attack vectors.
I love the sound in your videos, specially with a good headset/Headphones :)
Love these vids GS!! A-10 has a special place in my heart, thing is beauty armed to the teeth!! Know a lot of guys that got saved by this weapons system^^
Next time a troops in contact danger close to spice things up?
From seeing an IRL airshow to a blood bath here, this will be fun!!
GS lose in an A-10! The enemy wants to poop but they're afraid to visit the port-a-potty!
looooool
"I would have bet my life that was a mig29"
LOL, you bet his life LOL
looool, yes exactly, well said. I was clearly more than willing to bet his life on it.
Hello from New Zealand buddy. Another great video. Love the A10!
As close as we can get to an air combat forcr.
If you listen real close, you can hear the WSO in the Mudhen screaming out "BUDDY BUDDY!"
More ground pound with the hog, love it man, keep 'em coming!!!
I am enjoying the A-10 vids so much. Big thank you for a new one ;)
Love the A-10. I fly helos myself, but the A-10 is something else.
Always enjoy the A-10 videos. Maybe some remediation on aerial target recognition. LOL
Love the A-10 content
A-10 and Blue-On-Blue, name a more iconic duo
Love the A10 stuff, the BVR stuff, the missions you do, like help a B22 to deliver havoc or intercept something. Great content, great flying ! Love it !
All for the A-10 vids, always very satisfying to watch!!
Hi, following you for quite some time now but commenting first time. Really enjoy your videos.
I don't know why you have not posted a video of Su 57 versus J 20. BVR as well as Dogfight.
Keep the A10 stuff coming GS!!! Never tired.
I'd love to see you fly the Ka 50 or Apache again. Then you could be more up close and personal with the outhouses you're destroying
A-10 really gets my juices flowing…mas vids por favor
Yes ... more A10. Could you every now and then do a start up and take off?
Can you do f15E CAS video please it would be sick to see f15E bombing
I think you owe that F-15 pilot a Keg of beer LOL
I actually dealt with those laser rockets and they were scary as hell to load simply because of how long they were.

How doesn't like A-10 videos ?? Keep it up , thanks for playing !

A-10 stuff is always relaxing to watch.
Holy Moly are you loaded to the MAX! AWESOME! MASSIVE BOOM BOOM!!!
MORE A-10 missions?! Keep 'em coming!
My dude be ripple-firing Mavericks like they're rocket pods... Love it!
Appreciating the extra love for the a10 recently! ❤
I'd love to see your lanings from an external perspecive!
Keep doing A-10 content.
I love that airframe.
You can shoot laser rockets up to 5K easily. The range rings in the rocket aiming cue are just for ballistic unguided rockets. You just need to give them a little bit of elevation so they can reach.
The maximum range of laserguided rockets is somewhere around 5 to 6 miles. You don't need to wait until a range bar starts reducing.
is it even an authentic A-10 experience w/out a little blue on blue
I love the Chopper Popper! Keep the A10 content coming!
GS: I brought back all the munitions I didn't use (and we don't talk about that last Sidewinder)!
Always want to see more A-10 content! Daylight is more interesting for me.
Love the Spangdahlem skin on the A10.
Love the A-10 content! Keep em coming!
I usually use laser hydras on 4-8 nm which is quiet far but it will do its job
How about a full squadron of A-10 fully armed without air cover and full bandits lighting up the sky
From my experience using the APKWS rockets there is no range indicator but they’re effective up to about 5nm if you’re above 500ft
Lets see more A-10. Also fo some SU-25T with the little tv it has lol
I wonder why you didn't use a JDAM on the target on which you used the Mavericks, and rockets on the tents.
Blue on blue?! The A-10?!? Noooooo it couldn’t be….
