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.

Great video! The A-10 never gets old, also I’m curious about one idea. I don’t know if this has happened before but I’m curious to see what would happen in a Su-57 vs J-20 in a BVR scenario, it would be interesting since I don’t think this has happened on this channel yet. Still keep up the great work!

[@herknorth8691]

"There are many airplanes that have guns, but the A-10 is a gun that has a plane." - Voltaire (probably)

[@darkphoenix2]

From the ground an A-10's gun sounds like some kind of brass instrument doing little stabs of the most evil dissonant note you can play

[@Firesword534]

Truck driver: *singing* We got a little 'ol convoy driving through the nigh... A-10 Pilot: No you don't.

[@jpteknoman]

The A-10 is like a tractor. It doesn't go fast but it can carry as much as you can load on it and still reach its max speed.

[@nutsackmania]

thanks for that great information its not common knowledge

[@kuhnville3145]

A-10 videos always hit hard

[@heathb4319]

[@TheDman52]

The fly-by at the end was the perfect way to end the video. Also loved the troops cheering.

[@brandonbramer6175]

Watching the A-10 completely anihalate anything in it's way is deff entertaining but I think the best part of this while video is the fly by at the end. The A-10 is ground forces saving grace.

[@wurfyy]

Like hell it is. It's just that the ground forces are easily impressed by the slow, loud plane with a huge gun punching holes in the desert whereas the F-16 they never saw that dropped a single JDAM they never saw that actually killed a bunch of enemies they never saw but who were about to open up enfilading fire on them doesn't impress nearly as much.

[@armymanDR]

Your mission/scenario based mission videos are my absolute favorite ones. I enjoy them much more than just 1v1 duels. Reminds me of doing Arma ops with friends but with planes lol. Keep it up!

[@PiSkiS320]

Those POV from the ground showing the damage, the overfly + the BRRRRRRRRRR sound… what’s delightful video you just did!, congrats and thank you!

[@grizzly4736]

How about you and a buddy do a ground attack team using the A-10 and AV-8? That would be fun.

[@chrismaverick9828]

in DCS a well coordinated pair of A-10c (II)'s will absolutely tear up the place. You can smoke out the short range sams and schwack 'em, then just go to town on anything and everything that twitches. The HMCS changed everything and made it a truly effective system for designating visual targets on the fly and the SPI sharing capability is fantastic, especially at night. I really wish the -16 and -18 HMD's and systems managed targets as easily.

[@kimchi2780]

Imagine the A10 on that huge Russian convey

[@benn454]

Every A-10 pilot in Europe had to be locked in their hangars.

[@danielelombardo8196]

[@Bornst3ll3r]

A10 only works against peope who are so poor they’ve never seen a plane let alone a anti air system

[@Orphican]

@@Bornst3ll3r Actually the A-10 is great against any pre 21st century SHORAD or other low end air defense systems. Like every other aircraft from that era it just can't deal with modern networked air defense. That is likely but has yet to be proven as nobody has tried to take down a truly modern system yet. And no Ukranie doesn't count.

[@samuelcyril324]

why don't they count? I think they took out s400's

[@jasonvick55]

Our military defense contractors have invented some incredible pieces of equipment throughout our history but the A-10 created its own category of lethality and destructive capability. It’s retirement will be a sad day. Long live the A-10 Warthog 💪🏼🥇🇺🇸

[@TimothyBlairMusic]

After putting the A10C2 away for awhile, I’m pushing through the learning curve again. Still one of my favourite aircraft. Just very complicated systems. At least for a Ledite like myself.

[@chrismaverick9828]

Keep at it. Once you get your bindings down it'll start to flow. So much fun.

[@Tiber234]

Dont what it is but I find the F16 more of a struggle than I ever did with the A10CII and to elaborate - I have been flying the module for years but I just think the A10c process flow interlinking systems etc is so much more logical and (for me easier) than the 16.

[@StromBugSlayer]

Luddite, you mean?

[@CircaMustSurvive]

The Battle Creek tag on the A-10 is awesome. I use to fly out of KBTL constantly and I wish those boys still flew out of there. Awesome video.

[@HawkEyedSaint7]

Love the A-10 videos. Growing up they buzzed our house all the time flying around 100 ft off the deck. By far my favorite aircraft

My dad was on the receiving end of German rocket artillery during The Bulge on a regular basis. Nebelfwerver-wursts or whatever the krauts called them. GIs called them the "screaming meemies", and they were very similar to that grad stuff. Not a pleasant month for him.

[@dr1Voss48]

Can you imagine the incomprehensible primate noises that would come from the cockpit of an A-10 operating alone, fully loaded with ordnance and granted unrestricted permission to engage targets of opportunity upon spotting this many ground targets? Ground pounding Shangri-La.

[@icarus372]

"I think I saw a BTR in there." Pilots don't want you to learn this simple trick to avoid court martial!

[@RaderizDorret]

Fun fact: the high explosive shells used in the Iowa-class battleships were 2000 pounds. Really puts things in perspective when Mk 84s are in play. Meanwhile the Mk 82s (500 lb bombs) are the same weight as a 10 inch artillery shell.

[@borismekler]

Except the Mk 84 carries six times more explosive than a 16-inch HC shell, and more powerful explosive at that. The 16-inch shell is closest in power to Mk 81 bomb, which was quickly retired due to insufficient lethality.

[@n.s.3410]

I love the F4 stuff the most.. second most is the A10 both are awesome content to me more please :))

[@rangerrick8220]

Always like the final fly-by with the cheers! :)

[@operatorsanonymous1741]

[@Rose_Butterfly98]

I think the little roll during the fly by is a really fun signal because the a10 pops up slightly as it rolls before you zoom off. As if you're saying over and out.

[@donaldploger5630]

LOL... In Germany, my squad leader thought it'd be a good idea to cut across this *field*.... As we started across a U.S. M270 MLRS rounds started impacting around us.... the pucker factor was 10/10 that day! Another great video bud; keep it up.

I saw this movie over the weekend. "The Final Countdown" from 1980. Had never seen it before, but it had F-14's in it, so I was compelled to watch it. The U.S.S. Nimitz gets time warped back to the Pacific Theater on December 7th, 1941. A couple F-14's got to shoot down some Zero's.

[@joman2334]

What exactly is the difference between chalf and flare?

[@ryanweintraub9448]

Flares are heat sources meant to spoof missiles that home in on heat (AKA heatseeking missiles). Chaff is a bunch of pieces of metal that are meant to spoof radar locks by bouncing radar waves all over the place instead of the actual aircraft

[@bjmccann1]

Chaff offers a defense of against RADAR-guided weapons, while flares offer defense against heat-seeking weapons.

[@mattmanyam]

Chaff is (basically) reflective confetti that scatters the radio waves of the enemy radar systems. Flares are high-temp (magnesium) "candles" that give false targets for the infra-red tracking systems used in some missile systems. Both are "decoy" defensive systems.
