Apkws on A10C are awsome against SPAAs. None of them can stop them. Even pantsirs
Not really, more distance = more airtime → more airtime = more speed loss → more speed loss = greater chance to miss target.
I do agree that it’s performance at 6km sucks in top tier.
Not disagreeing with you there. I just think the Su25T/39 is a much better ground pounder than the A-10C. The A-10C does have it’s perks but being having 4 9ms and a hmd doesn’t warrant a .7br increase in reference to the Su25T/39

Have you seen the A-10C in joint combat lately? I remember about two months ago. This aircraft is useless, no one takes it.

I dont wanna flex but i have like 2-2.5kd in it and ace by playing ground only (no GE). I kill pantsirs relatively easily tho theres still this ccip bugged. It can defend against planes reliaby. Just requires patience and yes its quite hard to play. The only situation in which its the most useless are city maps but that qualifies to all non-russian planes i guess
And the best advice i can give is to actually being able to scout by urself if u dont have another guy spotting and dont push on blind.
I m just avg A10C enjoyer that likes to play it
Well, do you agree that he needs to lower his BR?
Yes. At current state absolutely. 11.7 very probable 11.3 is max

If gayjin rly wants it to stay on 12.0 they should add sniper tgp

its funny cuz if it was realistic the AGM65 should have 2000-2600mm pen not 830 or w/e
and the the Penetrating blast frag ones are SAPHEAT not sapHE
they have a smaller Heat charge from the Tow2 with 900mm pen and are encased in a blast frag warhead for dual effect/multiple targets.
As for the OP of the thread.
A10A/A6E and A10C all need their BR reduced.
A10A/A6E should be 10.0 (10.3 ground)
A6E SWIP needs to be added at 10.7 (10.7 ground)
and A10C should also be 10.7 or 11.0 MAX (10.7 ground)
also all these vehicles need forward air spawns cuz they are terrible in air RB and literally cant do anything/get anywhere on the massive maps to get points. they fly for 20 min to get shot down or for the game to end cuz the enemy is all gone, and are still MILES away from the nearest target.

Its funny actually now that gaijin updated the zoom of the regular 65D its only slightly worse than using a tgp now
So its basically pointless to bring the pod at all now because the maverick zoom is good enough on its own to use
Just gives me more reasons to keep saying the original A-10 is better than the C due to its lower br i guess
Heres an image of regular maverick zoom from 10km away now which is perfectly usable considering the ranges you will fire it at anyway and is a HUGE upgrade from what it used to be
Though I agree with how mavericks need a significant buff because of how terrible they are in top tier, I disagree with some of your BR proposals (at least for now).
The A10A Early is fine at being 10.3 because of the spaa present at that BR.
I’m conflicted on the BR of the A10A Late and Tram because it’d do great if it wasn’t for the 2S6 being at the same BR. I think post mav zoom buff, it’s fine at 10.7.
The A-10C if it gets the TGP+Mavs fixed (sniper ATP), I want to see how it performs at 11.3 (where the Su-39 is).
Edit: I’m talking about it’s BR for GRB not ARB

IDK why they didnt go through giving them air spawns after testing it a while back, same with su25. I guess players just cant handle not getting close to them in planes that are twice as fast too much of an ask for average player I guess.
For ground im not sure, after spading my russian spaa a-10 has to be the saddest planes ive ever seen, absolute free kills. The only thing they are good for is slinging mavs, but you have to do it from low alt so its only feasible on some maps and angles, otherwise you are praying there is no spaa or they are jobbing.
You cant move them down, I just think its ultimately a terrible platform that is only good at bullying 3rd world nations after their air defense has been obliterated.

People arguing the A-10 needs to go down are the same people who don’t play 9.3 and have never experienced 9L/60M spam
Pretty much the exact purpose of gunships and stuff like the A-10
Ya if it gets moved below 10.3 and gets into a match without saclos sam its going to be like helis down there but 10x worse, you could just sit at 5-6km up at alt completely immune to gun and manpad spaa and sling mavs with good angles with impunity. Basically kh38 at 9.x.

i edited the post to differentiate between ground and air BR. i was speaking of air BR originally. thats my bad for not being clear.
your lack of understanding regarding game mechanics is showing.
60Ms and 9Ls 1000% always go for flares, missiles and rockets.
just keep a rocket pod as flare back up and its not an issue.
i club A10s with my 9.3 fighters all the time. its easy because their missiles are worse than 9bs and always go for any heat source/lose lock.
i get excited when i see useless A10s or SU25s because i know i can do whatever i want to them, just dont fly straight at them and pay attention for launches.
When i see A10s or Su25s i look at them like they are literally free kills.
if you think otherwise then thats very telling on yourpart.
Once I learned situational awareness, A-10s and Su-25s became free kills for my F-100D
Thank you, for deciding the best course of action was to insult my intelligence. It’s uhh, how do I put it?
While sure, they go for flares literally every single time, what do you do while stock?
The answer is to avoid them, sure, but if you get even a little too close to one you’re screwed, and even then all I did was highlight the time period that A-10As and Su-25Ks were rampant in 9.3 lobbies.
Yeah, as most of them are. Half of all Prem A-10 players are just utter garbage, and the other half have maybe some skill. Doesn’t change that 9 times out of 10 the back line of a match is just AIM-9L and R-60M spam, which also was a lot worse when the A-10A was 10.0.
Also, I realized this post is for the A-10C, so please, disregard my talk on the A-10A
not in air rb, just give forward airspawn for some
