Not certain what internal plumbing and wiring was changed. 

Errr... what?

From the video description:

Quote

In celebration of 100 years of aviation, the Indiana Air National Guard’s 122nd Wing commissioned a two-tone black and grey paint scheme on one of their A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft.

It's a one-off celebration scheme. Where you get any of this deeper modification speculation from I have no idea. You smokin' that special tobaccy?

OK. There are articles on 'net, and YT vids about 'super' A-10C. Obviously those are of questionable verqcity.

They are referencing an upcoming A-10 upgrade which has nothing to do with celebratory paint schemes but is often wrongfully presented in that way.

Yeah I think that there are two things going on here, one of which is possible in DCS and the other is probably not going to be. 

The skin is beautiful! I always loved the Viper Demo Team snake livery and to have an official A-10C one is perfect! I'll have to bump a few people to see if they'll make it, if it isn't already online. See Below!

The new upgrades are very interesting, but let's just think practically: The Air Force is still rolling this out. Not even they have all their aircraft up to spec, and I highly doubt they'll pass this along to ED. Again, very interesting, but sadly not for DCS.

TL;DR: Paints dope, the upgrades are interesting but obvs not for DCS(yet).

 

I truly wonder if this is something that may extend the life of the hawg for just a few more years to iron out the Air Force's broken dream of the F-35 replacing the hawg. Either that, or come up with a new jet, which is unlikely. 

Spoiler

I only skimmed the video so i may have missed something lol

 

The skin is already in the works!
