A-10C II - The Valley Monster

This is really old footage of us flying back in like 2020, 2021. My crew is flying CAP and doing their own thing but trying to protect the airspace around us, while Elmo and myself are in the A-10C II while completely demolishing several objectives. Mind you, we did all this in ONE go. No rearming or refueling between objectives. It was awesome.

This reminds me of a round I played a month ago. I requested CAP for my A-10 run and no one was in the AO so I said "Fuck it, I'm merged with a hostile F-14! I'll do it myself" and took it out with an AIM9X :D I was pretty damn happy with myself that night :D

it's plug and play but the axis will need checking, and the TRIM will be set to view. So check those two things and all should be well. If not, then from teh drop down menu select HOTAS and just map everything real quick. Won't take you even 10 minutes

Average midjourney thumbnail. I said like a10 f15 mi24 apache and it actually looks really cool, the same as yours the pylons look really wierd

[@jubuttib]

First thought: "Man, that IR image looks so easy to spot things with!" Second thought: "Oh right, this is from 20-21, before they 'fixed' it." Not actually complaining it was overperforming quite a bit in the past, but would be nice if the current implementation was consistent on each aircraft, target and map.

[@chadvader974]

How on earth to you find targets os fast.. im just aimlessly slewing the tpod about and getting blatted out the sky by manpads

[@ralfidude]

you check the F10 map and check the features around you and the features on the map. Is it the hill in front of you, is it the hill 3 hills over? Is it in a valley? Is there a town or river next to the objective you can use as a reference marker? Notice how I was looking outside the pit with my eyes and then I found them that way and then designated it with my JHMCS. It takes practice but doable for sure.
