I don’t think this true you will still probably have access to it’s bomb/rocket computer and the gbu8 not to mention the 30mm Gatling gun with gun computer. No airplane has agm missiles lower then 10.0 thats fire and forget
It practically is at 10.0 since it’s 10.3 right now and idk about the aim9 that would be up to what it carried in irl and if it would be balanced
Yes their is it’s a fire and forget missiles and no 9.7 spaa would be able to shoot it down with the range the mavs have even if they could shoot the mavs them selfs it will still be broken not to mention the 250 cm’s the a10 carries
Their is fire forget bombs at 9.0-10.0 witch is why I didn’t say it would also need to remove its gbu’s and the lowest br for fire and forget missiles or even laser guided missiles is at 10.0 (excluding heli’s)
I think it would depend on the pilot and spaa user but at range it’s not hard to dodge spaa as you have time to react and ir missiles aren’t a problem for the a10 unless it’s the strela or osa or anything like those so like I said it would depend on pilot and decision making and play style
That’s how it’s intended to be… Su-25 also only has 2 AAMs (although on both the TT and prem) and it usually gets eaten by other more dedicated fighters.
Neither were really meant to be used in occupied airspace, henceforth suffer from doing so.
Okay which one is it the a10/su25 gonna suffer or is the jets in 9.0-9.7 gonna suffer
Also it still has access to rockets,gbu, and bombs with the computer
Idk man personally when I get into dogfights it does fine well not all of them but a good amount I win them
The main reason I would like to see the a10/su25 go down is because of ifv/spaa with hevt and spaa like the osa, strela, 2s6, and 2s38 are always being used witch practically makes the a10 maybe the su25 idk as i don’t have it hard to use and have heavily rely on agm missiles
It’s a balancing decision that I actually agree with Gaijin on (insanity?). The A-10A early has a really low BR for having AIM-9L, so the 2 missiles already prove exceptionally deadly when you know what can and can’t defeat them. For instance, there are planes like the T-2, which are free kills when within about 2Km of you going hot simply because they lack countermeasures.
The A-10A Early is best used running a loadout of Hydra rockets and 6x Mavericks. Use your Mavericks on moving convoy vehicles like tanks and the gun on trucks. For stationary targets, use the rockets or guns. A tip is to also utilize Antimech orders while doing this. This method not only racks up a LOT of SL, but it also rewards really good RP compared to bombing, which takes way too long.
PS. Do not forget to use Periodic countermeasures while attacking ground forces. It will save you from being caught off guard during attack runs.
The 2 sidewinders is really annoying when I’m doing what the A10 is supposed to be.
Running CAS.
Bump the 10.7 it doesn’t really matter. Flying an A10 in ARB is excruciatingly boring. You can spawn and walk away for a few minutes before you even get to the fight.
