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
which would also increase BR in GRB, the lowest BR vehicle with AGM-65s is the Ayit. Considering the YA-10 has more AGM-65s, plus potentially other GBUs, and a superior airframe, it’d likely be 9.7-10.0.
It wasnt tested with any munitions outside if what has been stated in chat.
I also dont know how reliable AGM-65A would be.
Yes, this is why I proposed the option of adding it without guided ordinance.
Some pictures of the cockpit coming from the evaluation report @thethrill820 shared.
It is not the same as the A-10s cockpit.
They were not happy with it and recommended a lot of changes to the positioning of the flight instuments. The recommendation is how the A-10 cockpit is in game.

The report also covers a lot of flight performance data.
Some of it is different from the data presented by OP
Spoiler
This paper is an official US document. It is a primary source and therefore a more reliable source than your listed sources.
As for the weapons it can carry, the repoert clearly states that more testing needs to be done.

I’m not too eager to use info from a paper that I know for sure has incorrect info, but fine, I’ve changed and added some info.
How an official US document could have incorrect information compared to Wikipedia?

This has nothing to do with the wiki. The document stated that the YA-10A could only carry bombs and incendiary, when that obviously isn’t the case.
Yeah cause other weapon options were tested later. TBH I don’t really get why would you want A-10’s prototype if there are a lot more interesting options out there.

It would be a great option to patch the 8.3-9.0 CAS gap. There’s a reason I included an “add without guided ordinance” poll.
What “more interesting options” did you have in mind?
A-37 Dragonfly, OV-10 Bronco and OV-1 Mohawk to name a few…

What do you think each of these would add to the game?
and what a prototype of A-10 would add? I’m thinking about unique planes for US and you think about some dollar store version of a plane that is already in game. It’s still the same plane but without the thing that makes it interesting.

It would provide a unique option to patch the 8.3-9.0 American CAS gap.
No, it would still retain a massive payload, ballistics computers, and be very able to defend itself.
What would the vehicles you suggest add?
Something actually interesting.
Nope. They would add literally nothing interesting to the game.
How are they not interesting? All of them come with AIM-9’s and nice payloads. Bronco can have a minigun turret installed underneath the fuselage.
