    I think a round with weapon reloading off would’ve been interesting because the AA team could scramble their positions again when the A-10 leaves to rearm and the A-10 would have to choose targets wisely

      However the amount of times it would have taken to fly back and forth from the battlefield to the airfield wouldn’t have been very exciting to watch with also the plane being repaired every time it returned could have dragged this out for hours which is why I didn’t do this initially. Wanted to focus on what the a-10 could do with skipping all the times it would need to return to the airfield to reload and be repaired

    This just reminded me of playing in the old "World War mode" beta back in 2017-2018 range. It was Soviets VS Germany on the Kursk strategic map (not the game map) and the Soviets attacked a German convoy with IL2 bombers, the convoy was guarded by Pzr 3s, Ostwinds, and Werbelwinds. The Werbels shredded then entire Soviet player squadron, and only lost 1/3 of the convoy trucks.
    It was kinda at that point that I realized CAS REALLY needs other distractions to pull the attention of the AA off of them, be it fighters, tanks, or artillery.

    If all 3 A-10s played like the last one they'd have obliterated the WWII AA. First 2 played too much like "I'm in an A-10 that means I can just dive into WWII era AA fire and live". Last one played much more like a bomber with only the occasional short gun and missile runs which is much more effective because that leverages the altitude and mobility advantage the A-10 has against unguided gunfire AA much better.

    This might be a interesting challenge:
    WW2 vs Modern Warfare (this includes ships, tanks, and planes, even helicopters)
    WW2:
    Every nation with WW2 vehicles, but Israel will not count, as they don't have WW2 era tanks, planes counts, as they have bombers and fighters from WW2
    Modern Warfare:
    Every nation top tier (from Tier V to Top Tier. I say Tier V for the Gepard and M163, and other SPAA's
    Planes can use AGM's or Guided Bombs, retarded bombs, or more.
    WW2 bombers can do different attacks, carpet bombing or High altidude bombing.
    Some reserve planes as the F3F that participated during the whole WW2 can be on the challenge. Also the P-26, He 51, and I-15.
    There's going to be 5 rounds, with different assault tactics.
    Each team (WW2 & Modern) can organize different strategies (this can be through private voice channels)
    I've been thinking about this challenge in about 3 months ago, doing tests and more, and trust me, it's fun.
    Oh, and also, some ships can do coastal attacks.
    I will join your Discord server and send this same idea. If you're interested on this, I'm going to be extremely happy.
    One point more, people who have modern and WW2 vehicles, can vary their teams each round. If they want, they can do, if they won't, it doesn't matter.
    You can modify the rules, of course, as you are the founder of this channel.
    I don't have funds to be part of your channel, but I will follow you all the time.

    I am glad to see my suggestion made into a video. I have a few more suggestions tk consider
    SU-25 in the same thing. I would imagine the SU-25 would outperform the A-10 here. The SU-25 has a much larger selection of unguided weapons including bombs and rockets of all sizes and has APHE rounds for the gun(although penetration is kind of weak). I would imagine the preferred strat would be to lob S-25O rockets at targets from a distance. Napalm could also be a useful weapon here
    Modern SPAA vs WW2 prop aircraft. Which one is up for debate but I think this time the aircraft might have a better chance at overwhelming the SPAAs than with in this scenario.
    Battle of the low tier speedy bois. BT-5 vs M22. Both are noted for being very fast and a popular meme tank that sometimes makes it way up to top tier for meme reasons. I would imagine this one would be a rather even fight since both is rather capable of one shorting the other(BT-5 has cramped crew and 45mm APHE can one shot M22) but I think the BT-5 has a more stable platform so it can shoot sooner than an M22. This one have player skill be a bigger factor since they are rather evenly matched.

      Would make it hard since most German AA has default camo which compared to other nations it's harder to spot them which makes sense, since in the last bits of ww2 the germ airforce was wiped out and the main focus of destroying planes was by easy to design/cheaper ground AA and hell if n.germany lasted longer than 1935-1945 then you'd see more well armored AA like the coelian be used more often

    I wonder how an A-10 would do with cluster munitions? The effect of the 2000lb bomb was generally immediate destruction, but the spread wasn't as pronounced as a cluster bomb could be.

    Like in real life, as soon as A10 goes for it BRRRR, it became the easy prey for most of Anti Air systems

    Interesting but unrealistic, thing is simulators will never be able to get the reality of this situation, in reality the hogs would've had to have taken a hell of a lot more damage before goin' in and secondly they weren't flown by A-10 pilots, but it was an interesting watch.

    In an engagement like this where all of the AA vehicles can only rely on visual sighting and their autocannons/machine guns, the A-10s altitude and smart targeting by pilots is what gave them the edge. As soon as they got low and committed to diving attacks, they got shredded because they were now on a predictable course and close enough that there was little to no time to dodge the incoming AA fire.
    If the A-10 pilots had kept using high altitude bomb drops and saturation attacks with rocket barrages, they likely couldve kept out of reach on the AA and minimized what damage they would take. Gun runs were a bit dangerous, though long distance attacks with shallow dives mightve done the trick.
    That last A-10 pilot did great, though.

    Easy job,judging that the a10 has to get close atleast 1km in order to be effective with the 30mm and with that the a 10 is Also in the effective range of the anti aircraft

    I'm thinking about starting a tree removal service. But instead of cranes and ropes and chainsaws, I'm just gonna buy a used A-10 and blow the hell outta the trees to knock them down.
    The A-10 is such an ICON. I love how Air Force higher-ups and Senate defense committee members keep trying to retire it but the Warthog keeps showing how invaluable it is. I've seen a lot of comments from vets saying the A-10 is like a Guardian Angel to infantry on the battlefield. It's saved A LOT of American lives

  • @crownember560
    @crownember560 2 года назад +1

    something that would have been cool to add in is to give the a10 a ground ally to scout for him and the aa team could try to find them

    "Hey, Friedrich, do you- hear that?"
    "Calm yourself, Meyer, it is merely thunder." The tired man states, rubbing his eyes as he inspects the gear shift, irritated by its stiffness.
    "It is- clear, not even a few clouds dot the skies."
    "Truly?"
    "Yes, it's getting louder."
    The two soldiers sit up, one of them pulling themselves from the driver seat into the turret of the Ostwind. The men both scan the skies before seeing something rapidly approaching, it was fast, agile and yet, huge. The two men observed as one of their fellow SPAA hesitantly rushed to the tree line. The two Germans, having experienced three years of war, stared at the strange machine with eerie silence between them. The roar of the alien machine's engines getting louder as it dipped, the body of the aircraft beginning to trace the path of their Anti-Air comrade.
    Suddenly, the machine began to spout fire. The roar of the cannon was enough for Friedrich nearly to stumble in the turret, as he quickly began to retreat to his own seat, getting ready to find a better spot to hide. Meyer stared, his mouth agape, as the sound of the after fire of the mighty machine ripped through the air.
    This, was the new era of Aerial Warfare.

  • @TheInvisibleOrange26

    This could be wok easily if they would not dip down so low as that gives AA a very good shot staying high up whith rockets and bombs and the won’t get a Single hit on A-10

    Staying high in the air as the A10 was the best strategy, in the last round the first two A10s died because they got too close to the ground.
