So am just curious here but could A10 Gal 8 avenger use the same ammunition from the Mk44 Bushmaster ll Chain Gun like for example it’s apfsds ??
Seems like it https://www.gd-ots.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/400002543-30mm-GAU-8-A-Brochure-202310.pdf
But don’t expect it to come to the game as we would need proof that they used the APFSDS on the A-10 specifically.
I dunno. I just wouldn’t want my engines to suck in all those sabots while firing…
Sabot of APFSDS/APDS shells that are 30mm in caliber aren’t simulated though no? So this wouldn’t be an issue in-game.
Plus, not accounting for the speed of the aircraft, the sabot petals travel nearly as fast as the dart itself (and to different angles). So how is it even feasible for the engines to catch the petals?
(EDIT: Nope, looks like they did in fact test sabot but encountered that exact issue.)
Spoiler
I believe it does have them, but they won’t put it in game for balance reasons. It had pretty much the same pen as the bushmasters.
Yes its possible in the future mate
I don’t hate the idea for the A-10C to come. i’ll give it the BR of 12.3 with 4 aim-9M
s after the AV-8 B harrier
A better place would be within a folder, either with the A7 variants or the AV8B+ . That way, the people who want to play it can do so, and those who dont can skip over it to whatever the snail adds after the AV8B+.
The problem with A10 is mostly due to the game aspect of WT. Loitering with A10 is made impossible because enemy AA can randomly spawn in range at any given second. I don’t know why they haven’t given us the C variant when there are so many SU 25 in the game. Though, I doubt it’ll matter much at all.
Air spawn for select strike planes. Gaijin: “No”. :(
