I don’t know why people use the A-10 against bases - there are much more viable options available in the US tree for that role, e.g. the A-7’s, or also the A-6 if one wants a premium. Or of course F-111 and F-4 in RB, as there their CCRP is actually working.
The A-10 is unmatched against tanks & co., but really not suited against bases, especially because of its speed.
Or - to maybe sum up my gripe with such discussions and how I feel about that topic:
- If your aim is to complete a specific mission/job/role, fly the aircraft that’s best used for it.
- If your aim is to have fun with a specific aircraft, fly the aircraft in game modes / missions / roles where it can best be used.
Basically all the discussions about how suitable thisandat is in thisandat mode boils down to this question.
I think its the Subsonic + Aim-9L in this context, which is pretty much the only reason the Buc S2B is 10.7 and not 9.7.
But yes, when Buc S2B is compared to something like the F-111A, it just stands no chance in doing its “intended” job
If you make that comparison, neither is anything else… ;-)
Not in RB at least. Situation looks quite different in Sim as there we have more targets that also respawn more frequently.
