476TTP 3-3.A10 Combat Aircraft Fundamentals - Public Release

[Eddie]

All,

 

I am pleased to announce on behalf of the 476th that our A-10C combat employment tactics, techniques, and procedures manual is now available to the whole DCS community.

 

The 3-3 contains both procedures and combat employment techniques, as well as basic tactical employment for the A-10C. It is based on real world techniques, however it is entirely written with DCS in mind, so if it's in the 3-3 then in works in the sim.

 

The 3-3 contains over 260 pages of material and covers many subjects including basic mission preparation, formation flight, air to air employment, and of course air to surface employment.

 

While some of the contents are specific TTPs employed by the 476th, and much of it can only be used in the multiplayer environment we hope that the availability of this manual will provide some of the how and why not covered in the DCS A-10C manual. The 3-3 is not directive in nature, and is purely intended as a guide on how to accomplish certain tasks.

 

It is still a live, in work, document so there are a few figures still to be drawn, and some sections are to be added/enhanced as time goes on but we feel that it is now is a state where it can be of benefit to the DCS community.

And for info, Dojo intends to do a few Q&A sessions regarding the 3-3.A10, the material within and its intended use in his podcast sometime in the near future.

Thanks for this awesome work!

 

I hope it's ok to post feedback to improve the document even more, so I begin with the following observations:

 

Page ix: Reference to Figure 9-3 is missing the dotted line between text and page number.

 

Also, unless there's some magic going on when printing, isn't there a blank page missing just after the front cover?

I assume the page numbers are meant to face outwards, and working back from the TOC, I arrive at getting the front cover on the "inside" of the cover.

Also interested in this, since I plan to print it out.

My suggestion would be to hold off printing for a bit, that'll give us more time to finish the images and fix some of the formatting errors from the pdf conversion.

[Gliptal]

Thanks, I'll definitely wait then.

[SnorreSelmer]

Thanks for the feedback Snoopy. I plan on assisting as best I can with proofreading. :)
