Have you tried a large bomber raid vs some modern air defence systems? Would a Luftwaffe bomber run be dense enough to just eat all the SAM ammo and still get enough ordinance on target?

What about trying the A-10 Warthogs against B-17 bombers? That would be a welcome change from the Ju-88s since the B-17 is a different beast altogether. I still recall the 1960/1970s SAM and GEN 2/GEN 3/GEN 4 jet fighter intercept scenarios showing how tough they were when taking all that damage.

I thought of this too... The difference is that the B-17 is much more survivable than the German bombers, so it would be interesting to see how they perform. The B-17's have more guns and more engines, so already there, there's a difference. Also be interesting to add P-51's into the mix, escorting the bombers.

Those away shots with the A10 guns was like a symphony.

The good thing is that A-10s look like they belong in WWII. Still my favourite plane, stick some GE90s on the back and you've got yourself an interceptor.

I don't remember what game it was, but maybe Falcon 4.0, or one of the A-10 specific games years back. But I remember that in at least one of them, the A-10 was considered a bit of an underdog as a fighter, since it could carry 2 sidewinders on most of it's underwing hard points, which I think meant a maximum load out of 12 sidewinders on each jet. I wonder if DCS would allow for that?

Great Mission, Guys! Love the video. The jeep driving was too much fun!

Guess driving through the map is a good way to show it off.

"The survivors call it the Pale Horse or the Grey Death... its engines emit a whistling scream, their guns roar with the sound the sky tearing... we must devote all creative and technical force of the Realm into rocketry, or the sky is truly lost."

Since it's a known that A-10s are not good for scramble-type intercepts, maybe a scenario should have them doing combat air patrol instead, maybe dispersed over a few thousand feet of altitude in the middle of the usual altitude range of most German raids (e.g., if Luftwaffe raids most often occur with low-altitude raids coming at 1,000 feet or less and higher-altitude raids coming at 20,000 feet or above, then have A-10s patrolling spread out vertically from 10,000 to 15,000 feet). The mission could start with air spawn of players...

@jimrussell4062

I wonder if it would make a difference long term in an actual campaign? Once the sidewinders are fired off and the Luftwaffe learns what they are up against, it might not be so easy. (Once they learn how SLOW the A-10s are for example)

You have all the advantages. Wow, they didnt even have fighter escorts. Hope that made you guys feel like real men

What about a jeep race, but with a heli or aircraft in the air trying to blow everyone up before they reach the finish line?

Hey GR, just a suggestion for a future mod you could make. In modern SEAD ops one important tool to use is aerial decoys; I know that core game has the ADM-141 TALD decoy, but a newer decoy currently in use is ADM-160 MALD that upgrades the range to 920 km. It would be interesting to see a more complete SEAD doctrine implemented into the game!

@MaxIsStrange1

That’s a great idea! If I remember correctly, MALD also has a version which uses EW to simulate the radar return of other aircraft so it can make itself look like a real F-15, C-5, etc. to enemy radars.

Since it’s only launched from the F/A-18, you could try to make it imitate only the Hornet and, instead of using EW, set the TALD’s RCS to the identical value to the F/A-18’s and basically copy over all the relevant values. It seems like it might work… However, even a simple decoy with such an increased range, and with the ability to set its flight path, or make it loiter over a certain area still would be amazing.

Well the A-10 is about the same speed as the things those guns were designed to fend off. And while the armored cockpit means a pilot snipe is basically out, turbines are if anything LESS resistant to damage than piston engines. Aircooled ones at least. And while an A-10 can retain enough control to RTB with severe damage, they aren't able to do much else if their hydrolics get winged.

WOO!!! Nice Maryland ANG representation!

also having worked on that GAU The simulations seem to say those bullets travel one right behind another. Nothing could be further from the truth. They are a very close pattern when we test them out to 75 yards but I had a half a mile the spread is incredible. Probably more like 150 to 200 feet wide, and that's intentional as it was meant to be weapon

Two things: 1) Can you imagine a fully 21st Century A-10 with all the new accoutrements? Not overhauling existing airframes, but a complete rebuild from the ground up. It's is such an effective weapon, but a next generation version for protection, better avionics, better engines, better everything. 2) Cap needs to either have the Reapers race WWII jeeps on an aircraft carrier deck or launch them from one...

Oh come on! The gun HAS TO spool up. That takes time. And let’s also talk about the poor situational awareness and historical ineffectiveness of the A10

Just trying to get to the train station reminds me of the shriners in a parade

you should make a hide and seak on London or Paris and like an A-10 or some armored vehicle hunts the little willys, that sounds funny as hell

These fly by shots... If I watch them 20 times more my screen gets wet. Dang that's sexy! Doesn't matter what kind of jet. Just the jet sound ❤

Entertaining.

A-10 is NOT a fighter aircraft. Try an F-15, F-16 or F-35 USA discovered the way to beat slower aircraft was NOT to dogfight at all. Instead, gain altitude, swoop down until they are momentarily in your gunsights. Shoot, then scoot away before they can respond. This is how the Hellcat defeated the ZERO. A supersonic jet, even limited to cannons, would operate the same way. Swoop, shoot, scoot. Never dogfight with a slower, more maneuverable aircraft. Your superior speed makes it unnecessary.

More challenges against WW2 era with super tucanos or pucaras, hell all the modern counter insurgency aircraft would be fun.
