The a-10a early only has 2 air to air missiles. Please kindly make it 4, like the later version, because it is actually capable of holding 4 or more. this is what Google says: Yes, the real-life A-10A (including early models) was technically capable of carrying up to four, and sometimes more, AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles on its wing hardpoints for self-defense. While it could carry four, it rarely did so in operational combat, usually carrying fewer for ground-attack missions. Please make the change
sure but enjoy a 10.7 battlerating. the early delibarately has only two AIM-9Ls to prevent it from being too annoying to deal with for lower BR planes

I know but its like impossible to get a kill in air RB and its just prey of faster jets like the Yak-13 and mig 21-23.
Trust me, you don’t want the 2 extra aim-9s.
The gun is what mainly gets me my kills anyway. The missiles are just a nice bonus.

why would it go up, 9Xs would only bring it up par with other fighters at its BR due to lack of speed /s

even though I have this plane its the Mavericks that always obliterates my tank, especially because I use the t-80
that things top armor is paper especially against a gau-8 30mm
anyone comment if they agree 😭
You are in a br where you have 30G missiles against mostly no flare planes (10.0 and downtiers). How you not getting kills?
Also enemy planes only having rear aspect missiles…
I guess by trying to fly it as a fighter…
to be fair, you’re never actually gonna kill a flareless plane if they don’t let you kill them.
every flareless plane the A-10 can face is significantly faster than it and has significantly better options for positioning
You can wait at the bases and intercept a flareless plane that went bombing. For example, a Mig-23BN.
that’s gambling, not a secure way to get kills
ontop of that, any bomber has a good chance of being in-and-out before you can even cue a missile
I would rather it lose aim9L and agm65 and have it go down in br 8.7-9.0
Also please don’t use google ai or wiki for sources because they aren’t acceptable for game changes I would recommend looking for photos or pdf files and also under google books to find info and make sure you check the distribution statement to make sure its okay to post
removing mavericks removes like 3/4ths of what makes the A-10 a good CAS platform to begin with.
ii wouldn’t mind it having 4 AIM-9Ds or something and being at or under 10.0 but there’s not much reason to remove the mavs
