light em up

2020-08-16 20:56:09 UTC  

LET THE BAGPIPES PLAY MF

2020-08-16 20:58:56 UTC  

A-10s will mess you up

2020-08-16 20:59:03 UTC  

Damn right

2020-08-16 20:59:11 UTC  

how many lbs of ordnance can it carry again?

2020-08-16 21:14:46 UTC  

alot

2020-08-16 21:20:57 UTC  

16,000

2020-08-16 21:23:10 UTC  

Oh boy

2020-08-16 21:30:38 UTC  

And, it's supposed to be in service until 2040.

2020-08-16 22:45:34 UTC  

the gun is actually inaccurate af

2020-08-16 22:45:50 UTC  

It just fires so many rounds so fast that it makes up for it

2020-08-16 23:20:40 UTC  

Accuracy by volume of fire

2020-08-16 23:58:12 UTC  

@Lyte The gau isnt inaccurate, it will drill holes a really good distance it's just being fired from a strafing aircraft moving at near supersonic speeds, the a10 will annihilate a moving vehicle target in two strafes, that pretty darn accurate

2020-08-17 01:26:01 UTC  

Ok so if you have a gun that is meant for strafing, why would you want it to just run a line? Would you want it to spread so you hit more? Hitting a moving target isnā€™t the gun by any means.

2020-08-17 01:27:06 UTC  

Also the A10 flies nowhere near supersonic

2020-08-17 01:27:46 UTC  

Like close to 300 mph slower. Pretty sure itā€™s slower than a 747

2020-08-17 01:28:42 UTC  

To be fair, the 747 is near transonic. The A-10 can't even keep up with the most advanced WW2 American fighters.

2020-08-17 01:29:23 UTC  

A-10 flies at 439 mph.

2020-08-17 01:29:59 UTC  

There you go.

2020-08-17 01:32:50 UTC  

Hello

2020-08-17 01:32:59 UTC  

Hello

2020-08-17 01:33:15 UTC  

@Lyte 747-8 flies at 614 mph

2020-08-17 01:33:46 UTC  

The 747 for an aircraft of its size is actually very fast.

2020-08-17 03:54:15 UTC  

Warthog FTW!!

2020-08-17 04:01:42 UTC  

Absolutely

2020-08-17 04:02:14 UTC  

Probably the best cas aircraft ever

2020-08-17 04:08:34 UTC  

>probably

2020-08-17 04:43:57 UTC  

playing with fire there

2020-08-17 04:59:25 UTC  

Don't worry. I got dragon skin on lol.

2020-08-17 05:01:49 UTC  

Which means I'm fireproof

@Lyte 439 mph is still fast enough for the job when I say near supersonic you're talking 770 mph so more than half way there and I was exaggerating, but my point wasnt how fast the thing goes it's that you're full of crap by saying its not accurate, it's not a flipping sniper rifle but it is accurate even on a stationary target, moving target I dont care how you put it, you take any gun and put it on any moving vehicle and fire it at another moving vehicle and it loses accuracy.. and yes I know it has alot to do with the pilot as well, but even a skilled pilot wouldnt hit a thing without the proper tools.

2020-08-17 16:26:43 UTC  

Itā€™s accurate by volume of fire not by the gun itself

2020-08-17 16:27:25 UTC  

Ground attack strafing has never been about accuracy, itā€™s more ā€œhow many rounds can put on it before i leaveā€

2020-08-17 16:28:17 UTC  

I never said it couldnā€™t hit anything but the original purpose of the A-10s gun was strafing single file columns during a WW3 scenario with the USSR

2020-08-17 16:29:50 UTC  

Dude, that paper it was hitting at 400 yds was less than 2 moa on a spinning wheel, that's flipping accurate

2020-08-17 16:30:19 UTC  

400 yards is very short range
