You pull 9g in an airframe and they'll shitcan it so fast your head will spin
Because aircraft are delicate, complex vehicles that cannot be safely operated if there's even a hint of damage
Sure they can take a beating, but it's not going back in the air afterwards
This isn't WWII where you can slap a new coat of paint on an airframe after it was shredded by fragmentation and had multiple control surfaces ripped off
yeah, back then it was only really bad when the internal framework was wrecked right?
because for the most part lots of damage could be fixed by replacing parts and skin
Pretty much, ytep
wing spars and control bars were pretty much the only critical components
Otherwise you just needed a rivet gun, duralumin sheets, and some paint
engines and guns could just be pulled out and replaced pretty easy if it came to that
It helps when you can basically take the .50 off your Willy and slap it in the gun mount
Also tfw your tanks used the same radial as your CAS
The one upside of the USAAC using the .50 was delicious ammo parity with ground forces
The same pallets of ammo you use for your planes can also be sued by your defense force to save the airfield
used*
well yeah, definately, I think thats why they just mounted more and more M2s rather than 20mm or bigger
The A10 was built to be repaired with sheet metal and standard bolts
and its the only aircraft being operated by the US military that has been made for that im pretty sure
the A10 was built with the idea that it's going to take damage, and was just built to survive, as opposed to most aircraft which I think are built to not get hit in the first place
