The A10-C only can carry 6 jdams of 500lbs? how is that possible, it should be able to carry 12
balancing reasons
Considering the AV-8B(NA) can carry 10 at the same BR and is an overall better platform to employ them, in any gamemode. It would probably be fine.
More likely it just needs bug reporting
But i am a DIE-HARD a-10 guy so…It’s not hard to figure out that I like the A-10
welp looks like you are fighting AIM-9Ms at 10.0!

Sorry, him said 4 months ago. not me
What a keyboardy warrior thing to say. Seriously go watch any airforce drop night and the A-10 pilots are very happy to get selected.
The A-10 pilots are actually doing combat missions in support of troops while the f-22 pilots have gotten to shoot down a chinese balloon once in 3 decades.
The A-10C is ok just one thing I would fix is that when the Engine is hit it does not stall. There are many Pictures of A-10s landing with 1 Engine.
the A-10C in real life does not carry AIM-9Xs
peak A-10C gameplay. A part of me believes that the reason why the A-10C is 11.7 and not any higher is because by the time the A-10 reaches the combat zone, the match will already be over 🤣

Exactly, you arrive either when there are no more reds or when the reds have eaten all of yours) These are the two chairs)
But getting to the map from simulator battles and in such cloudiness is already too much.

great idea for war thunder to add: The Attackers get to take off from the closest airfield
Cuz BRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
another idea for an A-10 to come is the YA-10. No GAU-8 Avenger instead it has the 20mm Vulcan but has AGMs and free fall bombs. Maybe at the BR of 9.3
The biggest Issue I suffer in the A-10C is this:
-Fly for 30min straight
-get to the battlefield
-GAME ENDS please fix this. I want to play WT not fly straight for ever
Victory in the [Operation] Golan Heights mission!

yay you reseached a whole 100rp, are you not happy?
For air they should just improve the stock loadouts and add that forwards spawn (for some reason it was never implemented even though it was said they’d do it). Stock loadout literally makes you equal to the 10.3 A-10A, except at 11.7. It should ideally get 2 9Ms stock. Spaded it’s okay, at least you can do suprisingly a lot (mainly because people don’t deal with the A-10 correctly). The addition of the GBU-39s also solved partially the problem not reaching the ground targets, as with some altitude you can easily lob them from 10-20km range. You’d still have to hope the match lasts long enough for them to reach their targets however, but it saves a lot of time of flying to every target individually.
Spoiler
It’s been a year now, I have literally no clue what’s even going on. Did they say they cancelled it?
(March 2024 BR changes)
My main gripe with the A-10C however is the ground RB performance. It being 12.0, same BR as the Pantsir, causes some complications. Since it’s just so slow, it acts more like a bit faster drone, which means the Pantsir is dangerous to it all the way out to 20km. This forces you to low altitude, at which point all the bomb type weapons become useless (you only get about a max of 2km range when flying low). At least partially this problem got solved with the GBU-39s, but it’s not great still. APKWS also still remain broken, as the CCIP doesn’t work due to the EEGS sight interfering. It should imo really be 11.3 or something in ground. If it should remain 12.0, then I’d like to see something like the laser SDBs.
I don’t play ground battle but if I played then my tip would be stay low to the ground so its harder for radar MSLs to hit you and also the war head would ram its head into the ground
Agreed, it baffles me that this plane is 12.0 in GRB. The only useful weaponry you get is the Maw, TGP, Aim9m and gbu-39. I don’t know if that warrants a 1.3 BR increase from the A-10A late.
