hello
after 3 days of training on the SU-25 i finally got the A-10 A. i figured out a number of things in it but i still have some issue and i need some help in this regard. most of my queries were answered in the steam community topic but i need more issues to resolve.
how do you gain height with this thing? with full throttel and level flight i can make around the speed of 300 (i dont know what is the measurement here) as a result of this i find it very hard to gain enough height in this thing which makes it difficult to make attack runs. i will explain it with 2 examples.
1. Campaign, you take off, flap up, gear up and then you need to turn around to head towards the town to engage the tanks. i cant get more than a height of 2K in this thing before i am in the combat zone and i need to start engagin the target. any guess what i am doing wrong?? also for some reasn the nose keeps on going towards the ground even with the speed of above 250.
2. instant action: their is a single mission where you need to provide CAS to friendly ground unis. same stuff, speed in around 270 and height is around 2K. i just cant get this thing high enough to dive and stuff on the enemy. i take out the AA in the enemy group with my maverick but then due to height issues i have to be very close to them to even engage as a result of which enemy BMPS just rip me apart..
i am using a controller stick and keyboard. so any tips? guidance on how to get this thing up high and have good speed??
