[@ArjunSingh-fv4cb]

In my humble opinion, as rightly mentioned in the info motion feature, the air-superiority achieved through swarming tactics deploying smaller aircrafts in variable mission programs, addressing both surface and air based threats, on a theoretical note, does seem an economical and effective tactical solution for a combat aviation operator deploying limited fleet and equipment cache for small to medium scale conventional warfare. However, a scaled up scenario with 4+ generation aerial combat platforms and advanced satellite network based surface to air defense systems in the foray, the effectiveness of such a swarming tactic would demand an overwhelmingly differentiated approach; not to mention, a formatively new set of avionics and advanced aerial combat assistance systems. If hypothetically ideated, a lot would depend upon the engagement scenarios, proximities to surface support and armament effectiveness. Not to mention the combat operators' skill and experience from both the factions. Theoretically, in a toe-to-toe scenario, 4+ generation avionics and guided weapon systems would hold a definitive edge over any aerial combat platform of previous generation, especially those which are primarily surface attack platforms.

[@MrCemicalX]

I wonder if we see such planes hunting cheap drones in the future as well. Older SPAAG systems have found new purpose with the rising drone threat. A couple of these in the air can fly up to hours on patrol, have NATO arsenal compability and are way less maintenance heavy than a jet doing the same job.

Given that this is a LIGHT CAS attack aircraft, its two wing-mounted .50 Caliber Machineguns are actually the BETTER option because they allow the Tucano to hit targets in very close proximity to ground troops without endangering them.

Already the A4 are becoming unfeasible to operate due to lack of spare parts and the structures are reaching the end of their useful life.

The built-in .50cal is a waste of time, space, and unnecessary weight. That airplane will spend 99% of its time in the patrol/observation mission. The FLIR is more important than a couple of MGs. If your mission calls for strafing you can always load up a couple of pods.

[@SephirothRyu]

I disagree. The sort of mission profile these things would often have might have them stumble upon enemy insurgents or similar small forces, and being able to strafe the enemy if need be is a useful flexibility. And pods would take up a valuable hardpoint that could be fitted with missiles, bombs, rockets, or (assuming it can use them) drop tanks. The placement of the MGs also doesn't appear to interfere with having a FLIR on it.
