    Former A-10 Crew Chief here: The A-10 is pretty fun to mess around with, and I can tell you that it is a giant Titanium tub that makes up the entire cockpit. The A-10 is what we call a flying tank. There have been pilots who lose both engines and half a wing deployed and still come back with a soft landing. I've seen cases where an A-10 has it's nacelle and engine hanging off by a bolt or two and the pilot feels nothing in terms of anything being outright wrong with the jet. The jet was designed around the GAU-8 for sure, which is why it was difficult to engineer at first. You have left and right slats in order to make up for the lift issue when firing the gun because the recoil would stall out the jet so that extra airflow is needed to go into the engines. It's a pretty incredible design. Hasn't been anything quite like it since. I will say though that we don't use pave penny pods anymore and usually the pilots load out an AIM-9 or other targeting pod for targeting.

      I'm in the French Air Force. Weapons technician on the Mirage 2000D. Some of my comrades who worked on the Mirage F1-CR told me that only one 30mm revolver Canon like the DEFA-553 (which equipped the Mirage F1) was able to slow down the aircraft or make him move.
      Another example : French Air Force is planning to add a gun pod on the 2000D (which has no internal gun, like all twin-seat Mirages) on the front left corner of the fuselage, and the integration of a 30mm gun pod on this plane is a problem due to the recoil of the gun, because the gun pod will not be directly in the axis of the plane.

    As you will hear from anybody involved with the A-10 ... unlike most planes which have a gun attached, the A-10 is a gun with a plane attached. It was literally built AROUND that insane 30mm GAU-8 Avenger rotary cannon, instead of the usual route which is designing the guns to fit the aircraft. It's funny because the sound of the gun is an unavoidable side product of how it works, yet the sound alone has become another one of its biggest weapons - that intimidation and fear-factor it invokes.

      Also, there is 0 guarantee to be a pilot, let alone choose the platform you end up in. People don't sign up to fly AMC. A minority choose helos, gunships / AFSOC (AMC for the special people), etc.
      There's even less guarantee this bird exists in 10 years. The gunships aren't as sexy for the youtube crowd, but with rare exceptions they perform the job better. I can see keeping a handful of A10s to supplement the gunships for intimidation and situations that require more defensive armor, but otherwise the gunships can do the same job in a fraction of the time with 100% uptime on target (no circling, no strafing... just constant fire from 5000 ft.)

    Gone through 5 module so far. I started with BS when it first came out and flew the hell out of it. I really knew that helicopter. Go back into DCS last year I bought all the modules I liked. Only 5 down and I started with the lesser tech planes. It's gonna keep you busy. I recommend a 2nd screen AND a tablet with chucks guides on them while you are learning and flying. It really cuts down figuring out why you pressed a button and nothing happened or why something completely different just happened. I can't tell you how many times I lawn darted the Mig 21 with the wrong combination of actions. Tons of fun and the reward is well worth it when you learn all the systems and put them all into use in missions. TrackIR is a must. VR is fun but your cut off from all external knowledge so know your aircraft before you head off in VR. Awesome video!

    What I love about the a-10 or basically all air-to-ground-planes is the cooperation between the infantry (probably a jtac) or other elements and the plane itself. Its an aspect that I really miss in DCS (I know it doesn't fit, and DCS is not (yet) meant for it). Still this is what I love about Arma. You just have this aspect of cooperation between different elements. The guys on the ground can tell the difference and they also add a special difficulty: hitting your won guys in a danger close situation. Still DCS is super impressive and I love the content - both game and vids! Keep up!

      @@OperatorDrewski Well, kinda but not really. As with any ag-weapon its range is highly dependent on the launch parameters (speed and altitude) and the targets' contrast against the background. Effective range is about 8nm maximum under ideal conditions but I think it's fair to say that it's mostly around 7-6nm. The limiting factor here is not the missiles' theoretical aerodynamic range but the capability of the sensor to resolve and track your target. Of course, if you're high and fast you can engage static targets like fixed aa-guns or bunkers at 12nm in the missiles's force correlate mode (I have done that to take out bunkers from out of SAM range for example), but you can forget about moving targets. So yes, I think it's fair to say that it has a max range of about 8nm and an effective range of 6-7nm. At least in DCS.
