A-10s Train With Air-Launched Decoys Alongside B-1B Bombers

Any chance we have the ADM-160 available on our a-10?

Very Unlikely due to the statement that after the the Radio the A-10 will not receive any more Features specific to it. And, as always, we need to have this Weapon system in DCS first at all... I would love to spam those but unfortunately it seems kinda far away not to say we´ll never see them..

From what I read in the interview, you don't need any specific system to use it. Just hang on the pylon and fire. Zero avionics.The only thing ED would have to do is develop this decoy.

Outside of operational testing, real A-10s don’t have it yet. I doubt we will get it any time soon

This regards the real plane with real physics but since this game is code based it’s not that easy for ED. Reality does hurt but maybe you can convince some mod maker

Well, "hang it on the pylon" part isn't easy IRL, either. You need to make sure it separates cleanly and not tries to take your own tail off due to some aerodynamic weirdness. So certifying a weapon system for operational use is not easy, even if it's something that doesn't talk to the jet any more than an iron bomb does.
