I know I made a post on USSR ground but I’m really enjoying USA ground and I’m nearing rank 6, love the historical value of the A-10, but the main question is, is it worth it on sale?
Depends on reason.
If you need pure cas jet there is much better tech tree variant at 10.7. Besides that there are 2 corsairs at 10.3 and 10.7. And premium a6 intruder but this one is unavailable rn and nobody knows when gaijin will be selling it again. At bit higher br there is f4e and f5e. At lower brs there are f100d, f4c, squadron a4e early, a4b, event fj4b.
If you need to grind air tree, there are better options like one of prem fighters or harrier na. Bought harrier and grinded a10a late real quick in sim with jdams. Also harrier can be useful in grb but you either see your ir mavs get shot down by free pantsirs or hunt for those pantsirs and other stationary sam systems with jdams but become unable to deal with any moving targets.
Expanded my comment a bit because there are some cas jets at higher ranks which may offer interesting gameplay besides a10a late I mentioned in first variant of reply.
Also you should check out youtube channel named Hunter. That guy has tons of cas videos including jets I listed above.
So the harrier is good?
If you want plane only on ground games.
Yes A10A is nice way to go.
9.7 harrier → Useless.
Av-8B , sits in 11.7 , got solid ground loadout but you will get terrible time on these new AA’s. , even on slightest uptier on 12.0
A10A, is 10.3 so you get a solid lineup on tanks and AA, and while using that a10, it is lowest plane to get F&F ammunition on cas plane.
Cons, you are slow, and optics are bit meh on premium version. But it is still best choise for all premium planes for cas option on ground games.
Edit. I see you got allready A10 late and Booker, so that premium A10 doesnt bring you any extra, unless you want to drop it on 10.3 and tease 9.3 players on A10.
That’s it. you are on a point where next smartest prem is F18, and you could use it to grind air tree. and also using it on bigger br cas plane, but yet again remember to be cautious since it is 12.3 on ground, so lot of aa’s and fox 3 slingers in there.
Night attack one, yes
I got prem time and am at rank 3, just completed the p47 tree for rank 3 I’m moving on to rank 4. Any suggestions for easier grinding? I enjoy jets but not really prop planes
