On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

Check out the Store: growling-sidewinder.creator-spring.com/ Hit me up on IG if you have an account: instagram.com/growling_sidewinder/ So as you can see I've kind of started to learn how to do very basic SEAD or DEAD in the A-10, of course there remains a million things to learn but I think progress has been decent so far, thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed the video, Much Love.

So, those 2.75" Hydra rockets you were shooting. The latest warhead is an anti-material (bunker)/personnel/armor multi-purpose unit combined with the APKWS laser-guided seeker head and maneuver surfaces (Lockheed is also working on GPS-enabled guidance for the Hydra 70, called the DAGR). Each one is a 100% kill on any reasonably sized target. Particularly against armor, you wouldn't need a heavy/expensive Maverick/Hellfire/JAGM (the missile replacing the Hellfire/Maverick) as the APKWS Hydra rockets with new warheads come in at under $30k each and are also much lighter.

15:32 - T-72s arent that resilient, its just you are shooting them from angles where theyr armor is effective. GAU-8s AP round has +- 65mm of penetration at the ranges you would generally employ it, the T-72 frontal armor is around 500+ mm of effective raw armor against AP, sides at 80mm (so still way above your capability) and only rear and top plates are vulnerable to the gun thing is, thats raw thickness that increases when shot at an angle - to lower the effective protection you want to be as close as you can to 90 degrees flat as you can be - as low to the ground if your target is side or rear, as high angle from above if you are going for an engine deck to put it short, if your goal is to kill a T-72 you need rear aspect shot, you have decent chance with side aspect IF you can score repeated hits to the same area and its basically useless to try a frontal aspect.

Mavericks fly a z-biased route. They're not slow-they just fly as high as possible to hit at a high angle of attack so it flies farther than the pilot expects.
@paparoni5443

As an aside, in the 1980's I got to see videos of pilots live shooting the Maverick during testing and when it z-biased almost every one of them said "it went ballistic" immediately. Then the target would blow up a few seconds later...

Tried looking this up, but couldn't find much beyond highly technical papers about missile guidance systems. Z-biased route means the missile comes off the rail and at some point on it's journey, it will shoot up and then come down on it's target from directly above? Is this to make it harder to defend?

I can only talk to what it did until 1990. The idea was, like the Javelin, to hit armor from the top where it is most vulnerable. We heard anecdotally that the Israeli military would replace the warhead with ballast so the internals of the tank would be salvageable after the missile kinetically killed the tank.
@paparoni5443

In the 80s the missile trajectory was determined by the guidance section based on range, altitude, and speed at launch. No pilot inputs were involved.

What damage does it to the A-10? I’m not from the US, especially not their military so I don’t have specific information about it, but I always heard the A-10 can take a beating? Does the rough touchdown actually destroy something in those planes, do they have fragile landing gear, or is it just because of general wear and tear of the landing gear that happens due to rough landings, like in every other plane?
That last gun run...my God. The amount of power that thing has is phenomenal.
Yes! I’m so here for this. And way to go adding more of the visuals! Your cinematic eye is criminally underrated.

Just so you know, one of your viewers hand built the qualifying compressor and cold end for the AGM-65D! I did it on an old Bridgeport mill and a manual tool room lathe using fixtures and cutting tools, yes you guessed it built by me. Good times back in the early 80's! 👍👍

China Hat FWD Short, I believe. It's been about a year since I've flown the damn thing though.
as a kid in the late 80s I had a model A-10 i had to glue together. I was pissed bc I wanted it to be a toy. Still was a fun process - It's such an iconic aircraft. Thanks for all the vids @Growling Sidewinder! It's cool to see your capabilities develop and also to learn about the details of the systems that make the A-10 so formidable. Keep em comin!
these a-10 videos are some of my favorites on your channel.
That tank at the 15:45sec mark literally came off the ground from the GAU/8!!!! 🙌

“Hold this my dude” *vaporizes Hind w/ 2000 LB vibe check*
ngl, been loving all the A-10 lately. Easily one of my favorite planes, and A2G is surprisingly entertaining to watch.
You should always at the end of the mission check to see just how much damage you took.
Really enjoying the A10 content. I'd love the opportunity to show you a few of the other weapons, finer points of the TGP and HMD, HOTAS shortcuts and some improvements to tactics that I've noticed could be made. The A10 can be insanely effective once you start to learn that stuff.

Would you be up for making a shorts style video on these? Could even post on the discord, I'm sure many, myself included would be immensely grateful! Could even be as simple as a voice/text over some gameplay
New A-10 content every day, I'm lovin' it!
On armored vehicles, you'll have better luck with a rear aspect attack with the gun. Front and side armor is heavier, and the newer tanks are more resistant to the 30mm (better steel). Also, when setting SPI with the TGP, don't forget to set it where the treads/wheels hit the ground. In a nutshell, the TGP doesn't see the object, it sees slant range to it's internal map, so if you aim for the center of the vehicle, you are actually setting the SPI behind it. Big reason why so many new to the Hog end up dropping bombs behind a target rather than on it, or off to the side if maneuvering. Also makes for a faster lock for the Maverick when you don't have to give it a nudge. The larger/shallower the angle of approach, the bigger the error if you don't allow for it. With practice and a better understanding of what I'm saying, you'll get to where you can lock up a SPI and put a bomb in a wastepaper basket from 20K. :)
Always gotta love A10 gameplay ♥
I love how he read the comments and was like Imma do this, bloody awesome video good job @Growling Sidewinder
I absolutely love the A-10C videos. It's such a great aircraft to fly and fight with.
Thank you. I enjoy the close ups of ordnance impacts
These videos are exhilarating and addictive. This is my new favorite channel, just gotta watch them all.
The bomb cam on the 2000 lb bomb was awesome!
I love this channel. Can't wait to see a tornado GR4 doing ATG in DCS
Nice camera work from the ground. The sound that thing makes on a gun run is horrifying.
"Move some mud!" Great content as usual GS! Glad you are giving the A10 some love!
Love these vids, especially since you added the ground view shots! I'm learning the A10C just now as well, it's a lot of fun when you finally get it right! Keep em comin!
I think an SDB with a small rocket booster would be a good addition to the hawgs arsenal, or a "motion tracking" 5in rocket, like a "competent Hydra". Although....wanting to get back into plastic models I wouldn't mind building an "A-10D" with conformal weapon stations on the fuselage, like the ones fitted to the F-4 or F-14. I'd think AGM-88 HARMs would look great on an A-10!!!

Another great video, GS! Your channel continues to grow and the comments are from viewers who appreciate all your hard work. I'm really happy for you, brother! BTW, the shot at 14:02 following that 2,000 pounder into the target was sweet! I used to do that a lot in IL-2 Sturmovik back in the day. I never understood that quote about "cool guys don't look at explosions." Baloney! 💣 💥 👀
Love the A-10 and the ATG action! Great including cinematic ground view of hits/damage. Hope you carry some CBU’s more often, love the area coverage on AA sites and clustered planes/vehicles! A couple in the Scud site would have been epic. Rock on with the Hog! 😁👍

I was hoping for another A10 video today and you didn’t disappoint
This is great stuff, and I appreciate the editing, very nice!
I love you getting into air to ground stuff and especially with the a10cii which is my favourite atg platform in DCS. I am really looking forward to watching you explore it more. Please keep it coming! ....Just as an inspiration: the APKWS rockets are really op - not against armour though - CBU97/105 might be better there. And how about really low level attacks against let's say an S-300? It does work, believe me ;) Anyway, thank you so much for your work!
I asked for those close up replay gun runs and next video...BRRRRRRRTTTTT!!! Love it. Lovin these A-10 vids. Keep em coming.
Yessss, I love A-10C Warthog ground strikes!! Please keep doing these!!
Thanks for the A2G content, it's been a long time coming and well worth the wait :)
The sound of the A-10 dumping 30mm and flying over from the ground is so satisfying... I saw those things clear an entire hill top in Korea..
I did learn A-G with F16 and I was surprise how fun and effective it was to use the MAV and bombs. Great video !

love those a-10 videos, really puts things into perspective on how terrifying those are!
I am indeed thoroughly enjoying this. I bet it's so satisfying to play😫
The Hind does NOT in fact do well against 2000 pound bombs. The first air to air kill recorded by a F-15E was against an Iraqi Hind, with a laser guided 2000 pound bomb on valentines day, 1991.
Love the humor. Nice vid.
Awesome stuff 👏 It may seem small but I'd definitely include the landing back at base in videos 😊 Everyone loves a landing lol
I love that he's now flying the A-10. Not a lot of people on yt fly it and that's kinda sad because its such a good plane in DCS.

Nice video, great to switch it up with a completely different aircraft. Makes me want to take the A10 out again after a long time. You should try out the laser-guided rockets, they are insane as well 😁

That 2000 pounder hit that poor Hind so hard, its grandchildren felt it.
Peace out. Great video.
Very rewarding gun runs GS.

Love the A10C II... definitely my favorite plane in DCS
Damn, that was so freaking cool.
The stand off capabilities of the mavricks are nuts for a/g. When i first started DCS the only thing I wanted to do was mavricks on the f/a-18 then the f-16 and now im learning the A-10 and muuhhhh god its fun.

It's not the gun that modern airframes can't replace. It's the combination of (low)speed, low altitude performance, armor, pilot visibility, payload, and loiter time. You can do the CAS job in a Super Tucano, but the A-10 can carry a max weight A-29 as it's payload.
