The A-10 is a great CAS platform. The trigger has 2 stages. First stage basically puts the plane on autopilot to freeze at its aimpoint (kinda sorta, more or less) and the second stage actually fires the gun, and the plane automatically adjusts down to compensate for recoil. ,.

PAC system really helps out. When the first stage of the trigger is pulled it activates "PAC" which takes control of the aircraft and holds the pipper (aimpoint) dead on target and compensates for recoil, then when its let go, it releases control and lets the plane free-fly again making hitting targets and not friendlies much easier.

You ask ANY ground-pounder what he'd like better covering his ass, the A-10 or any other aircraft, and with a POSSIBLE exception of an orbiting AC130 Spectre, he will always choose the A-10. Only an idiot would say something contrary to the A-10's record in war. Do you honestly think there wouldn't be cover for A-10's for ancillary threats?

Does the USAF Washington contingent have anyone in it who has flown a plane? Look at the airspeed during this engagement. Their master plan is to replace the A-10 with F-35s and their fast jet performance for CAS. I think the high airspeed and far lower manoeuvrability will not lend itself well to the amount of time it will take to get into a firing position repeatedly and the amount of time spent firing. Good luck to those needing the CAS if time is critical. I'd also question the willingness to risk a single engined $70m plane anywhere there might be manpads.

Hi. Former apache pilot here. Genuinely curious what you're looking at when you squeeze the trigger. How can you tell what you're shooting at? When I compare this to TADS footage from Apache's it makes me cringe. I wish the apaches were faster and I wish the A10s had better SA and targeting.
@pxatm
@pxatm Жыл бұрын
The ATFLIR can be "snowplowed" to follow the nose of the aircraft so you can get a good view of the target while nose on but generally you'd want to find the target with the pod first while up high, keep it marked and memorized in your HUD and then go in with the indicators in your HUD. Obviously when you're slinging PGM's you can do the whole thing through the TGP other than keeping yourself in constraints. The Apache has the advantage of two aviators so one person has the ability to be head down in the TADS the whole engagement, fast air normally does not. Gun runs aren't a great idea in general but you actually tend to have a pretty good idea of where everything is and where your rounds are going to land before the trigger gets squeezed.

What's the EARSHOT indication on the HUD? Bullseye reference or something?
@pxatm
@pxatm Жыл бұрын
EARSHOT is a marked area of interest saved in the A-10's flight computer as a waypoint or Nav reference. You can see little markers on the screen pointing in the direction of steerpoint EARSHOT while the aircraft turns in the video. You can also see the bearing and distance to the steerpoint change throughout the engagement. It can be a bullseye, but the actual bearing for bullseye calls would be reversed so I'm not sure how often a crew would leave it up in the hud rather than referencing it on the nav display.

Is our military radio communication really that bad, or are communications overlayed to show full context ? ?

There’s at least 4-5 radios using this channel at the same time stepping on each other’s conversations, listen when the ground forces are talking you can hear the crew-served weapons firing about 4 feet from the guy talking- bit busy...

Anyone know why they'd bother to mask the upper left when the gun is actually firing? Ammo counter or something? Is it just classified info so people don't know how many rounds the aircraft carries or something?

I’m guessing this Hog is FAC(A) or at least very experienced. Hog pilots always do a great job talking JFOs/non JTACS through what they need to get steel on steel. CAS is their world and USAF trying to get rid of them is incredibly short sighted.

I support bringing the super Tucano into US service or possible a super updated A1 Skyraider. The skyraider has an INSANE payload for a turboprop.. it has 2 20mm cannons already can probably be upgunned to a rapid firing m242 25mm or even the 30mm from the apache instead of the GAU8 which is too much for the slow plane. Adding a sniper/lantirn/PAVEWAY pod and it would be super LETHAL CAS option hauling 500+ rounds of 20-30mm and some 18 250lb SDB JDAMs as well as hydra-70s with the VAMPIRE guidance type system.
