I don't understand why if I try I get killed in 2 seconds by the spaa...

[@Hunter_i86]

Try to stay at the edge of SPAA max range of this era, and after a successful strike go low and get out of that 6km distance as fast as possible, because the MBT you bombed will 95% come back with a Strela 10 seconds after.

Thanks man, you are too kind :)

Too bad there isn't an A-7D late with AGM-65D/G's or the IIR version of the GBU-8's

[@N0EYES21]

First comment I have is, How do you get the TV weapons to lock so easy, because I feel like I'll attempt lock, and it won't lock until I literally touch grass

[@nightwing268]

i have the same problem with the kh 29te. cant track anything outside of 10 km

[@Hunter_i86]

Press the lock button once, you will get the ACQ blinking, once the target gets in track range the sight will lock the target automatically. Or press the lock button once, you will get the ACQ blinking, then press the lock button again to get the "point" lock if you want to lock the ground and the target is out of the track range.

[@N0EYES21]

@Hunter_i86 I believe you're just too good, the game doesn't wanna f*ck with you xD

I might consider grinding out the mods for this thing after the new major update. Improved maverick damage is good, as well as it lining up nicely for the AV-8B grind. Need something for my 10.3 lineup anyway, though I guess the premium A-10 early is just better in generally as it has longer tracking range mavericks, much better self defense and a muuuuch better RWR. But I guess the A-7D does win out in terms of dumb bomb and GBU-8 slinging performance, and most importantly it doesn't cost me money.

[@Hunter_i86]

The RWR on A-7D is a joke, it doesn't even have IFF, you are right.

[@MrFoxtanz]

Perfect fight. No rip wings or flaps and good weather (am so unlucky about this....😢).

[@ILIZIUM]

Have you downloaded additional sounds?. they are very good, I'm completely immersed in my headphones. but my sounds in my client are not like that... tell me why, maybe I need to download HD textures or install mods...

[@Hunter_i86]

No new sounds my friend :)

[@Boris_The_Turtle]

Forgot the A-7D thing existed. Would you say it is better CAS for the in the 10.3 lineup than the A-10A Early?

[@Hunter_i86]

A-7D is better than the A-10 when it comes to TV bombs, A-10A still have Maverick B, which is better than Maverick A on the Corsair of course, also A-10 has better RWR and better Sidewinder, so the A-10 should be the better choice overall.

[@ventischair9158]

Did they nerf the range on the AMG-65A's on the A-7D? I can barely get a lock range on them above 4.5 km from target and its so frustrating

[@Hunter_i86]

Maverick A always had 3km track range.

[@ventischair9158]

@Hunter_i86 oh dang, I guess I never checked that mb, hope they get better damage next update tho :D

[@Hunter_i86]

@@ventischair9158 Sure, they should.

[@viniciusg.lourenco1175]

Taking this opportunity to ask, which one do you recommend for US CAS? A-10 (late), A-7D or A-7E I didn't ask which one is best, I asked which one you recommend

[@Hunter_i86]

I prefer A-10 overall, because it has better RWR, better Sidewinder and also Mavericks are getting fixed with the coming of Seek & Destroy.

[@viniciusg.lourenco1175]

@@Hunter_i86 Thank you!!

[@cutthroat795]

The A10 and A7E have way more reliable tracking but are going to force you to play 10.7. The A7D has the most guided weapons but I have serious issues getting locks on stuff. They can all be pretty powerful cas but I think the A-10a late is the most consistent (and feels bad ass when you get to use the gun). The Corsairs can hold their own better in A2A if you prefer that

How do you get tanks to render from so far away? I never seem to see any until I’m a few KMs away

[@Hunter_i86]

Movie settings? I don't have special tricks to be honest.

[@ulxhoku]

Great video, thanks! Now spading this plane for the CAS purposes in addition to A-10 prem (10.3 too). Planning to use A-10 for Mavericks as they much better on A10 (B vs A) and A-7 for GBU-8 as it faster and can climb better. What would you say about this setup?

[@Hunter_i86]

Wonderful plan, but don't forget A-7D RWR is blind, you won't get lock warnings from 2s6 at all, so the priority is always to A-10 Warthog and Mavericks, if you failed to get the SP jump in the Corsair, or maybe Littlebird or Kiowa Warrior if the map terrain is dark and hard to find targets on without thermal imaging, like Fulda. Thanks a lot

[@ulxhoku]

@@Hunter_i86 thanks for the advice!

[@hawkiii8930]

Hi hunter at first I need to say nice video and very interesting and this time I have two questions. First one do you have a fast way to grind helicopters without playing helicopter battles and second one is what is your favourite country in the game to play?

[@Hunter_i86]

Hello, favorites are USA and USSR, play tanks to unlock helicopters, and play first spawn rocket runs in Ground RB or first spawn ATGM loadout in Ground SB, or grind events, trade in marketplace, get GE and purchase helicopters modifications with them. Thanks :)

[@hawkiii8930]

okay thank you

I love this videos, but with this efectivity? Man I really hope no one at Gaijin sees them because they may be the reason CAS keeps getting uptiered. So yeah the best option to everyone that loves CAS content but Gaijin employees, please stay away of the only aircraft that is reasonable for 10.3 lineup 🤗

The A-7D is the first plane I started to do guided weapons on after watching your videos, so it'll always have a spot in my heart.

[@Hunter_i86]

Sure, it is wonderful. Also Maverick is now awful, that's why I'm using GBU-8 but after the major update drops I will heavily get back to all types of Mavericks on multiple aircraft. Thanks :)

[@oi22_UwU]

How to use the aj37 amp?? Whenever you launch one, it loses the lock 😢

[@Hunter_i86]

What is amp? If you mean the TV missile, it is basically a Maverick A, if you want instant "track" lock you need to get close to 3km and lock the vehicle, or it will lock the ground with "point" lock more than 3km.

[@oi22_UwU]

[@oi22_UwU]

[@yeleng4745]

Hey Hunter looks like they've fixed the "bug" in the latet update where you can guide laser missiles with TV seeker view, i.e in Su25BM. Could you give it a try? Anyway love your vids and wish you all the best!

[@Hunter_i86]

You can still guiding it through the TV, if you spammed "Sight Stab" button. Thanks a lot :)

Slow stock grind, u reccomend I play air? On tier 2 mods rn, been using 24 500lb bombs (series of 4, 1.5 fuse) and dropping on tanks, tips?

Try Air Sim EC, it is nice for bombing runs :)

[@musty2.058]

You ready for the av-8b+ for the u.s?

[@Hunter_i86]

Definitely! Giving all good stuff to other nations then they finally remember the nations that actually manufactured these vehicles in the first place and present them to the world, what a nonsense.

[@VanillaFox1-1]

Honestly gbu-8’s and walleyes are a lot better in war thunder then they really are I mean guided bombs will literally glide in this game but in reality if you weren’t dive bombing they would usually end up flying over and the resolution and locking range on the gbu-8 and walleye is shit

[@Hunter_i86]

They were crazy gliders before, they don't do that anymore. Now they are like unguided bombs, need to be used with CCIP or CCRP to land on target.

[@VanillaFox1-1]

Question Hunter what’s the little + symbol in the new tv guided system when you lock a target I know you can move it around but what does it help with or do.

[@mrbr0ken]

This is only so that the lock can be removed, it does not serve any other function

[@Hunter_i86]

Only to cancel the lock when get it out of the box, like Mr. Broken said :) Basically useless, I still use "lock" button to cancel the lock.
