if F84F was 7.7, then there would be nothin between it and 8.7 a4b

so yes there would be a CAS gap

This aircraft would be decent.

Not a lot of actual loadout capabilities.

there would be a full BR gap? 7.7-8.7 gap?

Sabres, Panthers, B-57.

Just because something doesnt carry 4 1000 lb bombs does not make it not cas

YA-10A would have CCIP though if i read suggestion correctly,so would be better dedicated cas

I dont think he did actual research cause from what I’m reading it does not, unless im misreading it.

Idk, maybe as a premium. I wish Gaijin hadn’t split the A-10A into two models just to sell premiums rather than using one of the other A-10 variants (YA-10, YA-10B, or even YA-9).
As for there being an 8.7 CAS gap, the US literally has the best CAS around that BR of any nation. I’d recommend using the F9F-8 with it’s over 100 FFARs, or the A-4B which is an excellent strike aircraft for the BR, or the more rare FJ-4B if you want more speed, or the F3H if you’re at 9.0. Even an ordinary Sabre (especially the F-2 with its cannons) is an excellent choice, and superior to anything many nations get.

Sorry but normally are required more then 2 sources for a suggestion so that’s an half no for me.
Add more sources phisically and then I’ll say yes.

A vegan A-10 at a BR where its not going to be free food for even the heavy bombers would be a cool addition

this should have been the premium a-10 imo

Idk where you got that, but it could 100% carry more than just bombs and incendiary.

The suggestion moderator said 2 are needed, and the images themselves are also a source.

Yeah, or the YA-10B. The A-10A Early was just gajin being lazy af.

So it can just carry bombs and agm-65.

That is also AGM-65A, so it could only mount Dumb Bombs and AGM-65A, no FFAR or Aim-9L (idek how you were able to say that a 1976 missle was mounted on a 1972-1974 aircraft?)

And rockets, and gunpods, and Aim-9s, and GBUs, and everything else because whatever “source” that paper is, is complete bogus. There’s no reason to give heed to that “source” because it’s already been disproven.

In service 1972-present

This is coming from you, who didn’t actually use a single proper sorce, LOL.

It took me not even a minute to find a government approved and unrestricted resource.

AGM-65A did enter service in 1972.
AGM-65B entered service in 1975.
Aim-9L entered service in 1976.

So it that case it’d get an earlier Aim-9, either way doesn’t matter if Gajin adds it without guided ordinance.

+1
also add YA-9
