Avenger cannon

[DimASS]

Because i used zoom for better accuracy! and round-counter is on HUD anyway, at the end of the track I have shown it to mark out that there were 1265 rounds lleft.Or maybe its because uf versions mismatch? I've recently installed 1.12b patch.

[S77th-konkussion]

It took me one pass and 145 rounds to destroy T-80 with A-10's gun.

 

 

I forget the version, but I seem to recall an offline mission where an AI hog was taking 'em down in like 7 rounds...:huh:

[DimASS]

Just tried my own track,everything is Ok. It seems like these two versions are incompatible.Can't find 1.12a patch to install. Any ideas 'bout where can I find one(except lockon.ru)? or you dont need a track and believe me that i used 145 rounds to destroy T-80? :)

[plug pray]

Well... Obviously, 150 rnds are enough from the back.. From the front you may not get him in one run...for shure.

 

viper 101... IIRC, m61 is a different cannon from the gau8... And, if it is not quite so, then it should be said that the avenger is a heavier version of the vulcan)

I have 1.12b and can't see anything out of cockpit. The tadpole on HUD fills up the entire screen. It has to be some kinda mod you have on your install.

Tell me what do you see in this track?

I just zoomed in for maximum accuracy, so yes, theres almost only HUD seen in this track.

After couple seconds of that, all I see is flashing sky.

 

I played the track in mission editor and was able to see what you did in F2 view. And I tried it from your attack point and was able to kill it with 100 rounds so thanks for the tip. I think it's more to do with shooting down at it than shooting from rear.

 

Anyway, just wondering what the issue is with the cockpit.

 

I'm using 1600x1200 by the way but same thing at 1280x1024.

[DimASS]

Different versions i suppose. On my computer this track's playback is OK.

lol. was waiting for you guys to notice my sig was 70kb...i fixed it now so its good :)

Well even if you don't kill with the avenger, you can sleep soundly at night knowing the survivors will have medical problems and kids with birth defects for at least a generation from the depleted uranium in the shells...

:bored: I'm not gonna ask what goes on in there everytime you shoot that cannon.

[plug pray]

Yup, that's correct. The M61A1 is a 20mm cannon. I think you may have misunderstood what Viper was saying though. ;) He was saying that no ground vehicle is equipped with the GAU-8.

Well.. ok..

I dont mean the caliber. i mean the construction.

From what i understand, depleted uranium is not radioactive, because... it's depleted...

[NotiA10]

I just tried again. Slowed down the speed to makes sure every round hit the T80. Fired 150 rounds on the first pass from the front. Didn't kill it. Fired another 150 rounds on second pass from the rear, then it exploded. I'd like to see a track of you killing it with 145 rounds if you don't mind creating one. Maybe the aspect angle is important.

 

wanna see me killing a t80 with a lot less rounds than 145 ?

You think Avenger can kill T-80 with .50 cal machinegun? Maybe youve forgotten that T-80 survives after a hit of 122mm shell?

 

Otherwise.............LOL

 

We got a TBF in Lock on?

[upyr1]

Maybe I just suck at it but it's not easy killing T80 with A10 cannon in LOMAC either. Usually takes me multiple pass and lots of rounds. Perhaps it's reasonably modeled?

Looking at the A-10 coloring book I assumed that in real life the T-80 simply had more powerful armor and this was being modled on Lock on.

I can do it with about...25 rounds. On a side note, to me its a hell of a lot harder to frag a BMP.

25 is not possible with the hog - but close

[NotiA10]

lol - havent seen you on hl recently IK. would be great to fly with you again and getting stuck into some of these T-80s.

 

as for sams - hmm well only open eyes, attention and a two ship formation with coms can increase your chance of survival especially when forced to fly low - sams are like those smelly things called farts - hard to spot, and when silent utterly deadly. One has got to hate them.

 

 

anyway mate, be great to catch up with you soon, till then take care,

I suppose that 25 are more than enough if they all hit.......... yeah, if they all hit))

I'll try this bird tonight. "Watch out ,T-80, here I cоme!":D

thank god that wasn't "u"...

not sure about real life (would be interesting to see) but in lomac no. you will damage him but not destroy him - thats my experience. a few rounds more or less doesnt really matter, the main thing is that the T-80 goes baaannnggg and starts burning and smoking like hell.

DU is radioative, but the effects of heavy metal toxicity from it are much more dangerous than the negligible radiological properties.

 

You call hits of depleted uranium amunition and its radioactivity after explosion negligble?

 

geees... it must be all the physicists are just crazy then :music_whistling: Do you have any idea what happens to our internal organs after you breathe in radioactive matierial?

 

Anyway... in the tank subject... best place and aspect to destroy a tank is from its rear and high

 

EDIT: by the way... those "heavy metals" are actually radio active elements because of the size of their nuclei... the large number of same charge particles (protons) is too great for the nuclei to be stable... which is why they "radiate" particles from the nuclei... which is what radioactivity is all about. The most radio active element is Plutonium...after which I think comes Uranium.

 

oh and this is good... half life for Uranium 235 (of which DU is made from) is about 700.000.000 years... Uranium 238... well...few Billion years :D

[brewber19]

I'm amazed anyone thinks its hard to kill tanks with the A-10...its gun is like a laser beam. Try it in a Frog and see how you like it...(I like it just fine).

 

Its been a while since I counted but I can normally kill a T80 with two 1/2 second burst...and can remove about 10+ T80s with full internal gun. With gunpods, not so accurate due to dispersion...or I get ALOT closer ;)

 

Am happy to post a track or something but I am sure I can take out 10 T80s with internal gun only...but very rarely will I kill them on a single pass though! It depends on the aim, minimum ammo per kill, or maximum effect with minimum passes.

 

Good discussion though, nice to seem some good 'ole A2G fun. Nice post OP.
