On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

[@codychild2665]

I'm always blown away by the amount of ordinance the Hawg can carry.🤯

[@Spydr6684]

A-10 with a couple HARMS on the belly going in for troop support makes sense. Like you mentioned “a pop-up” anti air unit, now the hog has the ability to kill it quickly and return to mission.

[@Stinger522]

Yeah, but it still doesn't have the speed and avionic chops for SEAD like the Viper and the Panther do. The HARMS may've helped the A-10 against these punny SAM systems but they would be useless against the upper-tier SAMs like the Russian S-400 and the Chinese HQ-9.

[@soulsnatcher9696]

​@@Stinger522 Which is why you'd send out F-35's first with it's advanced missiles can't shoot anything down if your radar can't figure out which targets are real and which aren't. A-10 isn't meant to deal with anti-air it's ground support you know armored vehicles, people on foot, an occasional helicopter.

[@Spydr6684]

@@soulsnatcher9696 that was my thoughts on the matter. But send the A-10 in with a couple HARMS for that “just in case” moment.

[@soulsnatcher9696]

Man you're brave flying directly above those tanks! Those turrets could knock you out on their way to orbit so easily! 😂😂

[@mrp8488]

You said that S.E.A.D. is a distraction for the A-10; but a dedicated S.E.A.D. aircraft might not be nearby, or even in theater. It's better to have a capability and not need it, than to need it and not have it. Requesting Su-57 vs J-20.

[@gagoff]

You mention doing SEAD detracts from the main purpose of the A10 but I have a solution to that. Bring a second A10. Hell, bring a third and there won't even be anything left for the ground troops to fight :D

I watch your vid and want to learn how to use the RWR and all of the instrumentation. Even just being able to work out who's coming in, who's fired missiles, etc., ... Man alive ... just sooooooo much to think about ... Much respect for the hours of training that have gone into your "cool, calm and collected" presentation.

[@Karyovin]

Oh cool GS has my loadout from Energy Air Force Aim Strike Had to use the A-10 for a sead mission

[@Rose_Butterfly98]

It was a few days ago that I found out some people don't know that the a-10 can't use HARMs. Because there was a poll about which aircraft you would like to do CAS if you are in trouble. The options were the A-10, the F-16 and the F-15E. I said it's down to circumstances, if there are SAMs I would want f-15E because it can carry a huge payload and use glidebombs on the SAM sites. The F-16 would be great with its HARMs as well but it can't carry that many bombs. And then there were people arguing that the A-10 can take out SAMs with HARMs. But the guy also didn't know about short rang IR missiles, I don't think he knew what a MANPAD even was lol. And he thought the chaff would protect the A-10 well enough to use mavericks on the SAMs

[@lordandrewbruceofthemcinne5046]

To be honest, I am not that learned on such things (I am still learning much of the terminology) so I would probably say something similar if i was the one writing such comments on such a poll.

[@johnhermann7498]

Jeebus why hasn't anyone done this before?!? I bet you could mount the HTS where the PAVE PENNY used to go and use the LAU-88(?) launch rail adapter on at least eight of the A-10s stations and *STILL* have room for the TGP...probably couldn't get the same range from the HARMs as you could from a Viper due to the low initial launch speed but the idea of a Hog slingin' eight HARMs just makes me giggle maniacally....

That is interesting and a good example of the limitations of what knowledge is publicly available. The A-10 has used the AGM-88 HARM a lot over the past. I assume it is only in recent times that the USAF has changed it's policies/procedures on the A-10 using it or not.
