You think it’s ok? ALL 100% (!) battles on A-10C looks like this, you can check my replays on this plane today.
When we’ll see fix that problem? Maybe check “only EC maps” for this BR, or air spawn, or maybe “Attackers PvE” which must be in game I think 2 years ago?
Here scr for them who dont want open replay:
Spoiler
some TLDR:
Requesting any tips for this plane if anyone can write, thanks.

Have you tried playing Sim at all?
Attackers get a bit more breathing room there.
(I know this likely isn’t the sort of solution you’re after)

Attackers aren’t supposed to be easy or fun to play in ARB, and the A10C has 4 9Ms and MAWS, so two or more of these flying together effectively work as area denial, as can be seen in many matches. If you don’t like how they perform, go play ground matches where this thing belongs

That that shit to arcade if you’re trying to grind lol. Slinging aim9ms like crazy.
I wanted research chaff and pod first, it helps for sim. Now A-10C full stock, no 9Ms. In air-realistic I could (I think) use some tactics for earn 600-800 battle points, which give me ~7k RP and research these modules (4-8 battles). If I join EC without chaff - it’s 100% deaths from fox-1/fox-3, because low alt (>60m) don’t save from launch on high altitude. And it will be just 3 hours of game with 0 points and 0 activity, like gameplay in heli EC on H-34 in 2020.
Which tactics you recommend for farm RP with 6x500 lbs bombs without pod and MAWS in ground battles?
Only 2x9L have :)
I should go in air arcade? Any tips for this mode for A-10C? Never tried on this plane.
Use terrain to mask your presence and hit them from behind/the side, gun down helicopters, prioritise lightly armoured targets such as IFVs and SPAA. You also get stock rockets, right? You can do area suppression and even high angle attack runs if you feel daring
Yes, I have 2x9L + 28 Hydras/6x500 lbs bombs. Ok I will try, thanks.
I hear someone about descreased farm SP for air units on ground modes, it changed now?
Bringing a plane to a mode it doesn’t perform anyway, only for grinding/spading, and then whining about getting nothing done…
That’s the reason why AirRB is ruined for years!
That I do not know, but I’m afraid you don’t have that many options anyway. Try to reach 9Ms asap and pray for small maps
You said about grb or arb now? Where I should open chaff+pod for sim EC?
9M on 4th level))
I think best way is “grind chaff+pod in ??? mode and just play sim EC after”.
Due to its slow speed, you have a chance at getting to ground targets unnoticed since most jets will already be engaged.
The a10 is still pretty decent at 1v1s and will do wonders vs the many premiums f4s running around.
Your rp gain will go up a good bit once you get the agm65s and it will go up even more with the glide bombs. The glide bombs let you spam out 24 bombs from 20km out. Sure they are slow but the range allows you to lock in rp even if you die before getting within gun range.

Which speed and alt I need for drop glide bombs to 20 km? Haven’t researched it yet, but doesn’t know about 20 km, I think 7-9 km max range for A-10s speed/alt. I planned use it in sim when research bombs+pod+chaff.
dies to Pantsir within seconds of spawning in
Wow! Fun and engaging gameplay!
Air RB just isnt functional for attackers, you basically have to play them as fighters or hope your team can keep you safe while you ground pound.
Man people will say to try sim, and they do work well there, but having to play a whole different mode just to make them work shows how flawed air RB is for anything that isn’t a fighter.
I have been dropping them at a min of 3-4km alt at around 400-500kph. The glide bombs are very efficient. If fact, they reach the target with like 1-1.5km of alt and dive for a top attack.
I dont know if you can drop further out. I dont go past 20km because that is the limit of the targeting pod.
Edit: here is one of my most recent matches in the a10c.
