grandkodiak Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I'm curious as to what the a10 dcs might cover beside flight model tweeks and graphics... think they will add modern weapon usuage such jdams, targetting pods, laser guided bombs and glass cockpit?

Vekkinho Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 You'll see a glass cockpit only in case of DCS:A-10C module. Remember A-10A has steam gauges! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobek Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 You will most likely see everything the real A10 is capable of, AFAIK the A-10A is not capable of JDAM or LGB delivery. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sobek, you are inncorrect. I know for a fact that the A-10A and C variants can drop LGB's, but not by themselves. When A-10's do this they must have another type of aircraft or personel on the ground laze the target. But it is possible. About JDAM's I am not sure, but I wouldn't be suprised if it is also possible. But you are right in saying that you will see everything the real a-10 is capable of!

Both - A-10A (only the last block) and A-10C - CAN carry LANTRIN pods really, so both have got the ability of attack targets with LGB by themselves. However I think they usually prefer a man with a "laser gun" (you know what I mean) in his attacks. Regards!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperKungFu Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Basically the same level of detail in Black Shark would now be the standard for all future modules. But yes it is a bit early to say. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess all I was sure about was that an A-10 can deploy LGB's. Thanks for the correction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandkodiak Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 Seems a small detail but I can't wait for the modeling of the richochet tracer effect applied to the gau8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorrin Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Seems a small detail but I can't wait for the modeling of the richochet tracer effect applied to the gau8 Especially when it ricochets off that Shilka and pops some poor blighter in his Ka-50!

jonob66 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Would be cool if you could setup an FAC that would lase a target so that the A10 could use the Paveway. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
