THIS PLANE IS LEGENDARY AND HAS SAVED MANY LIVES IN COMBAT. It is designed specifically as a troop support on the battle field. The ONLY PLANE that is designed to aid troops in jungle warfare, and for the destruction of armored personnel/tanks. The engines and robust design, aid in the success for ground troop support in battle. What a well designed plane! Thanks for the video 📸.

[@anydaynow01]

Yep that "obsolete" equipment like the A-10, AC-130 and B-52 still hit targets just fine, if a war ever gets hot enough where they will have to operate in contested air space we can use the other more expensive toys for that. The only reason they are getting rid of the A-10 and not doing wing repairs is because it doesn't have a major contractor pushing it like the other two even though they have the same "shortcomings".

[@BMF6889]

As a Marine infantry platoon commander in Vietnam 1968-69, there were no A-10's. We received close air support from F-4 and A-6 planes. I did not have a forward air controller to call in close air support, I could only contact the pilot on an FM frequency and do my best to describe where our position was relative to the enemy. For a pilot in a jet that is incredibly difficult when looking down at a jungle with no real terrain features. I'd pop like red smoke to identify my position but then the enemy would pop red smoke as well. it took time to describe which red smoke was ours and which was the enemy's.. Sometimes the company would have a Forward Air Controller or FAC. He was a pilot that could talk pilot sh*t with the plot to get ordinance on target. But pilots were not attached down to the platoon level and so me trying to call in a close air support was difficult in the terrain we were in. We had good close close air support in Vietnam, but only God knows why. All I had was an out of date French map and a compass. Knowing where we were was a challenge for me and an even bigger challenge for the pilot using a different map and avionic compass in his plane. I would have given my right arm for GPS and precision guided bombs and artillery back then.

[@anydaynow01]

The A1s and the gunships were the ones that my uncle preached about helping in those danger close situations the best, they could actually loiter around low and put out hot spots the hit and get high flying boys would leave behind or came in too fast to get good hits on. Artillery support was good also in a pinch but they took more friendly fire from that than any other form of close support. Granted the A1s and gunships took heavy fire, after all their motto was "so that others may live".

[@rywy77]

Welcome home, sir.

[@kqr573v2]

My Marine older brother came back from Nam ('68 - '69) a big fan of B-52s from his experiences sometimes seeing them, but more often hearing and feeling their work, most likely in three ship Arc Light raids. By coincidence, later in the '70s I ended up in the USAF on those same Big Belly B-52Ds. I sent him a B-52 shirt and he wore it until it was ragged, then asked for another.

[@StrongHarm]

If you love the A-10 (like I do) you can purchase all the equipment the pilot is using at 1:38. The simulator he's using is the professional version of a civilian available VR capable simulator called Digital Combat Simulator, or DCS. The stick and throttles he's using are the Thrustmaster Warthog, also available on the civilian market. It's a blast, highly recommended!

Damn right! I think I've been on the Hoggit server for 2000+ hours :)

[@yosshiy-4416]

[@kasper_429]

I noticed that as well. It's pretty funny that the Air Force uses relatively inexpensive consumer-grade equipment to train pilots on these multi-million-dollar aircraft. I would've thought for sure that they would've had a full cockpit sim with motion and everything, but nope. It's a setup that anyone can have at home. I guess it's a testament to how accurate DCS is at translating the capabilities of the aircraft, as well as how accurate Thrustmaster got their Warthog HOTAS.

[@StrongHarm]

@@kasper_429 No doubt a testament to DCS and TM, but it's also a sign of the technological times. As someone who flew the real "ballsims" as well as DCS, I can tell you that although the ballsims bring a huge level of immersion, that immersion is destroyed by the graphics, flight physics, and cheapness of the interface. When I fly DCS in VR (pimax) I sometimes experience real vertigo because it's so realistic that my inner ear expects the Gforces and doesn't receive them. The result is that when my system of balance tries to counteract the Gforces that aren't there.. it 'overcorrects'. I don't get sick though, and it's well worth it. Little known fact; Eagle Dynamics developed the original A-10 software for the USAF. They were able to strip some of the black boxes out of it, and sell it on the open market. As good as DCS is, I would imagine that USAF pilots use it to train on the NAV and other cockpit display type subsystems, without having to burn fuel or take up full ballsim time for just clicking around and learning menus.

[@alexandergarcia8064]

Thanks to the Steam summer sale I was finally able to buy the A-10C II. Found a pretty good Warthog HOTAS for relatively cheap too!

[@BitwiseMobile]

I was an AT in the Navy during the 80s, and the capabilities of modern RADAR and targeting pods like the TGP were just not there yet. They still used technology from the 60s in many places. There was even one piece of gear that dated back to the 50s which was still actively used in the fleet at the time. I know TDR was working on some cool things at the time. We had one piece of gear that was destined for the H-60s which were just being introduced to the fleet at the time. It was a graphical display of the battle field based on telemetry data. It showed things like sonobouy locations, last contact, and even location of downed airmen in the case of rescue. It was very advanced for the time. Now I fly DCS and between the A-10C II and the F-18 the capabilities are amazing. I don't fly the Eagle as much - even though I do have the DLC.

[@JpnType2010]

It is interesting to note that the special advisor when designing the A-10 was "Hans Rudel", a former Ju87 (Stuka) Nori in the Nazi Luftwaffe LOL. He made a lot of mistakes, actually flew the aircraft and finally gave the OK for the current model. I was also a former Japanese Air Self-Defence Force officer and I think the A-10 is a great aircraft. A-10設計時のスペシャルアドバイザーが、元ナチスドイツ空軍のJu87（スツーカ）ノリの「ハンス・ルーデル」さんだったって事が面白いですLOL 彼が何度もダメ出しして、実際に操縦もして最終的にOKをだしたのが今の型です 私も元日本の航空自衛官でしたが、A-10は素晴らしい機体だと思います。

Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 “Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. 26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’ 27 “Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house, 28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’ 29 Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31 But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’ ” Luke 16:19-31
