A10c gau-8 range

Hello guys. How far gau 8 can shoot and what is your farthest shot from this cannon?

1.5-2 mi is the short answer imo. The computed range pipper is your friend for ranging, so trust it. I don’t think that “how far can it shoot” is exactly the right question. I’m sure the shell would travel for miles, but it would loose significant velocity even at 1.5 mi, and become ineffective against any hardened targets.

 

Dcs manual advertises combat mix being capable of destroying a tank up to 21,600ft so a little over 3.5 nm? I think you'd have a hard time recreating that in dcs.
