Afaik the A-10 needs to stabilize before using the GAU-8. It is also pointed a few degrees downwards, so was wondering if doing a tight loop firing the GAU-8 would damage the plane...
Of course there would be the mess with rounds flying aimlessly around :music_whistling:
I remember some talk about, that the first Su-25 had to set power to idle and what not, to avoid damaging the plane.
