That’s weird since there are 24 of them, 20 of them with the F-15E.
I can’t even implement AGM-65D on A-10A Late now, because there are new SAMs like OSA and TOR that have a longer launch range than your missiles. But Su-25 has speed, good unguided missiles that cause huge damage.
there is much wrong in this its unbeleivable
keep in mind all you have to do to avoid them is move 20 meters (250lbs) in any direction

@bertgame coming into gaslight and claim that CAS isn’t OP.
Custom matches don’t get recorded in stats.
I have over 2 hours of F-15E play, I just refuse to ruin my Soviet, German, USA, etc top lineups with CAS BR’d higher than the tanks.
So if you want me to play CAS above the BR of 12.0, I’ll do it in custom battles.
And if you think my argument that CAS is OP “makes no sense” then you haven’t been playing much, cause CAS has been OP since 2022.
All of which cannot be used effectively outside the 5-10km range. Both heavily rely on it’s initial speed, the A-10C doesn’t have that.
That’s a bit disingenuous because the apkws are only effective against lightly armored vehicles where as all the agms in the su-39 cannot take out a variety of targets.
Target aquisition plays more of an important role when the farther you get. When you’re within 10km, spotting targets doesn’t become that hard. Because the maverick can only be used in the short to medium range, the advantages of the TGP diminish.
I gotta ask, do you think the A-10C is on par with the SM3?
The only “useful” weponry the A-10C has is the aim-9m, glide bombs and mavericks. Out of that, the aim-9m is the only effective one. As mentioned before the glidebombs and mavericks being used <8km makes it vulnerable, even then, it’s slow speed makes it easy to counter.
The Kh-29TE makes getting >13km shots easy and effective. That should be more than enough to take out any spaa at it’s br (even some top tier spaa). It’s used to soften AA defences where then the Kh-25 and vikhrs are used to take out tanks.

at the same BR is f111f which id bring over this anyway
its got a bit worse targeting pod but still got 6 mavs and even can get an agm130 or two if you want to sacrifice your 9ls
The A-10C also has a better RWR (though currently F-111F’s RWR is wrong and underperforming anyway, but who knows when Gaijin will fix that… bug report got passed 7 months ago), a better MAWS, and having 9Ms is definitely a big plus. It would at least be a worthwhile consideration at 11.7.
But I can see 11.3 too for the A-10C considering the Kurnass 2000 is still 11.3 with its honestly insane A2G loadout for the BR. Yeah okay the Kurnass 2k may not have a thermal TGP, but it’s supersonic and for some reason the AGM-65Ds it mounts has 2nd gen thermals with the TGP at least giving a color image at intermediate zoom, and you still have the built-in TISEO for absolute mega zoom, which solve the incredibly bad default zoom of the 65D sight. So I could see the A-10C at 11.3 too, but honestly I think the Kurnass 2k is probably just undertiered though so I don’t want to encourage either to be 11.3 actually.
I just find even with the better RWR and MAWs the best way to survive is to hit the deck and get out of there, and the a10 is just too slow for that
also speed gives you better launch parameters on mavs because their motor is really weak so they need as much initial velocity as you can give them, ive had some low altitude slow launches be short of target around 5km away
unrelated I really hope they add an f4e late for the US with TISEO and everything I could even see it being the same BR as f4j because it should have lookdown shootdown and be imposible to notch or chaff its radar while also having better flightmodel but worse kit and probably no HMD
edit: could also be a decent introduction for ARMs
??
The TISEO can provide angular tracking data to the radar, supplanting spurious returns, though for the most part the APQ-120 would find it most useful for Look-Down, Shoot-Down capability.

no do you actually think gaijin will model the tiseo as impossible to notch/chaff the radar when being used???
Could actually be introduced with better kit than the F-4J/F-4S. F-4Es could carry AIM-7Fs and AIM-9L/Ms if the devs wanted to. And frankly should if added, given the A2G load it will carry will have it facing top tier in ground matches.
IRSTS’s already are.
purposefully trying to misunderstand the point here? do you think that gaijin will model the tiseo supplementary in a way where the f-4e’s radar will be impossible to notch/chaff including it’s missiles when being used? yes or no?
Who knows when we will ever see this though, given their comments on the TCS/TGPs in the last dev…
If their goal is to model systems realistically(which they have stated), then yes.
But it also doesn’t make the missile unnotchable, just the host radar
“stated”
we know how gaijin is. do you expect them to model it like this, regardless of their statements…
