This thing is terrifying when someone’s good with it.

even tho the Super Étendard only has 4 GBU, at 10.0 it is a very good aircraft, i believe you can hit mach as well

I'd grind for this if they'd only "fix" or balance the Merk turret armor. Feels awful to know anything can pen that turret minus the weird grey zones.

Amazing video

1:40 WSO is the word you're looking for here! Weapon Systems Operator. 😊

1:45 They are called the R.I.O or radio intercept officer

i like how this thing can carry 8 gbu’s and yet the tornado GR.1 can only carry half that.. or even less if you want a larger gbu. that and it turns like a buss, has less flares/chaff and has only 2 AIM-9L’s, not even M’s. the PGM-2000’s are great but they are un-predictable.

While killing SPAA is important for the planes, ground RB is about capping and holding points across the map, and if all your jets are just tryna farm SPAA then you effectively have 0 CAS.

In a perfect match that could work with Maverick CAS playing SEAD role while gbu CAS actually helped out ground troops.
