Throughtout this discussion I will be talking exclusively about GRB BR for the two planes.
How is the premium AV8 only at 11.3 while the A10C is at 12.0? Shouldn’t it be other way around?
Lets compare the two plane’s loadout:
A10C (12.0 BR)
Bad airframe, slow as fuck, mideocre turn rate
Useless dumb bombs / guided bombs (lets be realistic, you are not gona climb to 9km and space bomb, nor do you have the speed to pop over the tree lines to drop bomb and survive)
Laser Guided Mighty Mouse: only effective against light targets
Good Targeting Pod (LITENING II Pod)
6 Mavericks (can only carry 3 if you want to use it with targeting pod)
4 aim9M
Premium AV8B (NA) (11.3 BR)
Good airframe, good speed, good turn rate
Usable Guided bombs
Good Targeting pod (LITENING II Pod)
4 Mavericks
4 aim9L
Can someone explain why the Premium AV8B is 0.7 br lower than A10C while having better ground-attack capabilities? Premium bias much?
put 65Ds in selector on right wing, then just put any laser guided weapon at any pylon(except same pylon as 65Ds ofc)
and ta-da, you got ability to mount LAU-88 w/ 65Ds close to TGP
Even with 6x mavs, the range is still meh due to the A-10 being so slow.
Seeing as you have to stay low to not get clapped by the pantsir, I was only able to kill a pantsir from 9km away even after lobbing the mav a little bit. The one I shot at 15km range just fell out of the sky after 9-10km.
I should sell my mother to the devil to fly an A10C so that Pantsir can shoot down all my Mavericks if I’m lucky. I can usually find him on the killcam.
