If you sent two mavericks from different vectors more than 10deg apart, a single Pantsir couldn't defend both ...... Thank you for your awesome videos 👍

I still like regular air to air stuff but The air to ground content lately is a cool change of pace. Id like to see some videos involving the su-25

[@samctanner]

I second this, the SU25 is a great little jet and deffo needs more airtime

[@adamjaquay4279]

The SU-25 is a tough piece of equipment. I've seen videos where a MANPAD hits the aircraft square and it drops it's load and flies off lol. Don't know if the aircraft made it back to base but it's still pretty impressive for sure.

[@tbmdd]

Loving the A-10 content dude!

[@antonrudenham3259]

I'd love to see you take the A10 back to its intended hunting ground over the plains of a 1980's West Germany, preferably in a period jet against period Warsaw Pact vehicles.

[@therocinante3443]

Now THAT is an awesome idea and makes me hope for that map.

[@thomasstevenhebert]

You are mistaken that the A10s hunting ground was over Central Europe. Common misconception, it was actually designed to fight the Army’s Cheyenne in the capitol building.

A few days a go I also saw a video of Russian air defences failing to intercept GMLRS's, the Pantsir and other systems don't seem to be fairing that well against the GMLRS's fired from the HIMARS, how do I know? Because even the Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu a couple of months labelled HIMARS a high priority target, the Ukranian knew this and built wooden HIMARS decoys, which fooled the Russians into firing 10 3M-54 Kalibr missiles at them.

[@darthbob1656]

Is it possible to do A-10 vs a supply train, or maybe boats or small ships? Interested to see that GAU tearing up large targets like that.

[@arctic3032]

Great video! One of the things I've wanted to see for some time is ship attacks, specifically with guns to see how effective it might be. I've seen your harrier videos with anti ship missiles.

[@sandermannaert4272]

Have a look at the force correlate tracking mode for the EO-seeker Mavericks. Basically you command a track on a point on the ground, allowing a lock at any range. Go in "high" and "fast", fire at max range, cross fingers.

[@joshpeterson2451]

A video comparing the close air support and air-to-ground capabilities of the A-10 and the Su-25 would be cool, like if you flew both planes back-to-back in two identical scenarios in one video, just to demonstrate the differences. I'd definitely watch that.

[@RockMountainYJ]

I can speak from personal experience of what an A10 streaking past your building sounds and feels like. 2006, stationed in South Korea and the A10s from Osan Air Force base would use our base as a practice for strafing dry runs.

[@SVSky]

Had that happen as a young airman at Osan too, terrifying sound when the gun goes. Thank goodness it was pointed away from us!

[@GatecrasherUA]

Pantsirs are absolute units, really chonky boys. Their guns are are loud AF as well.

[@JohnHill-qo3hb]

Any landing that you can digitally walk away from is a good one.

[@dankaloww1067]

Can we see player controlled Sa-22?

[@TheDanimalHD]

Love the shots where you're zoomed in on the incoming A-10, seeing the gun fire and then hearing the BRRRRRTTT afterwards, so badass!!

[@rangerrick8220]

The overfly with the whine from the engines.... noice!

[@disanKh]

A10 is real beast at fighting goat herders, insurgencies, sea pirates with AKs and RPGs. Not with manpad and other air defense systems.

[@thuggeegaming659]

Yup. I don't really buy that the A-10 stands much of a chance against a Pantsir. His approach was way too high. At 6800 feet, he would have been shot at well before he got within range. The A-10 is slow too, the AA missiles are much faster, and it's unlikely that an A-10 can jink out of the way in time, even with countermeasures. I think once he tries to defend by getting low, everyone with a Manpad would have a field day with it.

[@potatopilot16]

really loving the A-10 content man. I've recently been learning the module myself and It's nice to see my favorite DCS youtuber play it more often!

[@nemisis_wolf]

Loving these A10 vid GS and loving that your enjoying groundpounding as much as you do your dogfights

[@bloodgoat]

I was able to get see some A10s close up at an air show a few years back. What a workhorse airframe! It was my favorite as a kid and getting to put my hands on one solidified it as an adult. The design of the aircraft is as iconic as it is capable. Shame to see them retired, but hopefully they still have some out on the tour circuit so we can all remember it for years to come!

[@hoisin_sauce]

You can zoom your Mavs in using china hat forward I think which will make identifying what you've locked a lot easier!

[@chrisfitzmaurice7484]

Congrats on hitting 400k, GS. Well deserved for all your good work here!

[@debbiestimac5175]

6:40 "He's beginning to believe..." Instead of operating at A-4 Skyhawk flight levels over targets, from Vietnam, the flight levels he's adopting here, are the Warthog's true domain... under 1,000 feet. You cannot hit, what is at nearly the level of trees in your field of view. "Where is that coming from?" A-10 was the original "Predator". "He's using the trees!" Stay ultra low, get used to leaves in your inlets and NEVER overfly the target area. "Why is A-10 so slow?" It's because it flies so low... my dude. It's a fixed wing Apache.

[@죽은_시민의_사회]

Unfortunately, low altitude flying is no longer a valid tactic if you're going against a neer peer wnemy

[@supremegreaser2399]

It’s not for near peer conflicts. Flying low and slow is the thing of the past.

Nicly done. A great improvement over your first videos. You can fly to low for SA-300. Maybe try this and kill with Gun.

[@Ehshrhshdiei]

Some Syrian Air Defenses vs the a10 would be cool

[@CastleGraphics]

The mountains of Afghanistan would provide a difficult challenge. With weather, you might be dropping through a hole just to ensure you keep the ground in sight while trying to hit targets & avoid friendlies. The A-10 was designed for WWIII Europe, but I think it really shone in Afghanistan. Thanks for your great content...from an vet A-10 weapons troop.

[@tacos731]

I wish I knew how you controlled these aircraft so smoothly. I always have a hard time keeping them steady during gun runs and whatnot. Awesome vid!

[@jhare18]

That was very dangerous. Good Pilot plus the appropriate platform equals victory.

[@SovereignVis]

Cool video. I think you should try to do a mission where you are hunting and killing some moving targets. Maybe have a few enemy tanks rolling across the countryside on their way to attack a small friendly camp, set up in a small town. It could be just a big group spread out over a wide area, or maybe like 3-4 small groups approaching the town from different angles.

[@DoYouLikeThisName]

[@SovereignVis]

@@DoYouLikeThisName Yeah, that is what the aircraft was designed for.

[@davidpalmer4184]

Thanks Growling, love the content. Would love to see the A-10 go after it's intended prey, lots of tanks like defending Germany from the soviets or the US in the gulf wars.

[@joshthemigpro1733]

It would struggle to pen a t64 it would be useless in its intended role it's not a accurate gun 12 meter radius

[@NoahDVS]

Not usually a fan of the A-10, but the variety of powerful weaponry it has makes it fun to watch. I prefer the Strike Eagle, or even better the Sex Eagle (F-15EX), but I know they're not in DCS. I imagine an F-15EX with an eagle headed Ricardo Milos with American flag bandana painted on it. Would be cool if there was a B-2 in DCS, though I guess it wouldn't be as exciting to fly in reality because of stealth and high altitude making things too easy. Maybe the B-1B would be cool since it's supersonic, has swing-wings, is meant for low altitude and can carry a lot of munitions. I bet the Aermacchi MB-339 would be fun for some A2G missions.

[@VladGuerra5078]

Would love to see an A-10 go up against an A29 Tucano for some reason

if you're up against a SA-22 with the 57E6 missile you could fly above 25000ft AGL out of it's weapon ceiling envelope and strike it from above. ~ my reference is Command Modern Operations

[@saltyb2119]

Just an idea. Mission starts off with combat air patrol. Ensuring the battle space is clear and establishment of air superiority. Once established, A10 provides direct air support to troops in contact. If you put it all together you show exactly how a LSCO fight is conducted.
