ASAP Posted July 5, 2022 Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) Short answer: no. Best you can do is quickly switch to another target and fire again right away. Real life mavericks need a bit more care taken to lock onto the correct target and it needs to be done individually. The jet also has no capability to control more than one maverick at a time.

Dragon1-1 Posted July 5, 2022 Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) Warthogs don't go fast, but they can go slow. Just set up at a comfortable distance and flying at about 200kts, and if you've got good contrast, you should be able to easily get two or even three Mavs in one pass if you know where the targets are. For static targets, it's best to use markpoints, so you can slave the SPI to steerpoint and just slew the Mav to it, lock, and fire, then advance the steerpoint and do it again. For moving ones, you need to get good at slewing the TGP around, but it can be done. For the faster jets, locking multiple Mavs and shooting them in one pass is somewhat harder to do, so there's an option to lock them first and fire them off in a ripple. The A-10 doesn't really need it. You have plenty of time on your way in. Edited July 5, 2022 by Dragon1-1
Frederf Posted July 5, 2022 Posted July 5, 2022 I haven't checked if it's possible to have two stations' missiles tracking simultaneously (might be possible?) but there's no one-button-two-missiles mode in the A-10. Using the HUD "wagon wheel" I've shot off 6 missiles sequentially in ~8 seconds easily though.
SJBMX Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 I believe what OP is referring to is alternating stations when firing (ie: firing "left station-right station-left station-right station") when you have the same variety of Maverick loaded on each station (eg: 4x AGM-65Ds). This isn't possible in the A-10C. 1
Eddie Posted July 28, 2022 Posted July 28, 2022 As has been stated already, with LAU-88s loaded no. For some more detail regarding why this is the case, see this post/thread.
