We all know and love the A-10A and A-10A Late. But the attackers just stop. Now i think we should add more USA Attackers Like the A-10C and the A-10B.
The A-10C will have some characteristics of the A-10A (Speed, Hard points, NVD, ETC). But the A-10c will have 4x AIM-9Ms and maybe even more flares. One of the bigger changes is that it has more precision weapons and a new cockpit
The A-10B is the Twin seat version that will be a backup for the A-10A late or be a premium with the A-10A. The Missiles are the AIM-9Ls so maybe it will sit at the BR of 11.0 but it’s up to all up to you
Why do people want an aircraft that is outperformed by every multirole counterpart in service, if i was chosen to fly an A-10 in the US air force i would just up and leave
I suppose technically the US actually has no good CAS aircraft at or around 11.3. Whilst they have good (maybe even the best) CAS at 12+ with strong multirole abilities. They do have to “uptier” their 11.3 line-up. This is a minor impact currently, but if we get a decompression Soon™ then this could have a more major impact and leave the US at a disadvantage.
I already reguarly play the Tornado Gr1 and not run the Harrier Gr7 or Gripen C in purely 11.3 line-ups so that downtiers are possible (and reasonably common). Even though both are vastly superior in the current atmosphere of GRB.
Because why not?
If the argument to not add the A-10C is purely because there is better. Then we should never add anything. The Gripen C is likely going to be a lot better than both the SHar and F3, and yet I want to play the SHar and F3 far far more than the Gripen. Same can be said for the A-10. There are plenty of reasons to want a perticular aircraft. even if its at a disadvantage (though the A-10 will be at no greater advantage or disadvantage than many 11.3/11.7 CAS)
Fairness
Many nations have got good 11.3 CAS, this is one area that the US is weaker at. Even the USSR has what 3 different different Su-25 Variants for this gap, but the closest equivalent to the Su-25, the A-10, has none
Whilst im constantly annoyed by how many aircraft the US gets. I am surprised they’ve not gotten an equal to the Su-39/Su-25T in the form of a later A-10
the A-10C woulld be untouchable, and its missiles would break the game, of course gaijin would just nerf it like they dod everything else on the u.s tech tree.
16x SDB-1, -II or AGM-187A + 28x AGR-20A & -20B, AN/AAQ-33(ATP), 2x AIM-9X & HMD doesn’t seem so bad. And that ignores various CBUs like the -103 and -105
The entire point of the A-10 is Convoy interdiction and CAS
You might want to look up the definition of interdiction
Also the large number of CMs and access to the MJU-50 Covert Flare (no Signature in the visible band) solves the IR SAM problem, and the ALQ-131 or -184 help with Radar SAMs.
