vrv Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Funny thing is that a friend and I have been flying the A-10A in preparation. When you use her properly she can wreak havoc and honestly beyond the Su-25 it's the easiest one to fly. The only problem is that you are dead slow and literally a flying tank but you can take a punch right in the face and keep fighting. Do you have hyberlobby? My friend has to reinstall everything so I don't know when he will be able to fly but I am always open to play. Do you have Xfire?

ANY OTHER HAWG DRIVERS out there? Edited September 9, 2009 by hannibal find me on steam! username: Hannibal_A101A http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197969447179
Pyroflash Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 yea, I fly A-10's, but it can get a bit hectic on the 169th server unless you fly really really low. Radar has problems if you fly below 10 meters. doesn't stop half the МиГ pilots with their mid range IR missiles though... Good thing the A-10 doesn't kick up too much heat behind it or else it really would be a pain. But really, the key is to stay low. If you can manage that, taking out a SAM or three in one sortie is a distinct possibility. Usually though, I just find it easier to use the МиГ-29S with a couple of FABs strapped under its wings. If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground.
71st_Mastiff Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 whats a mig ? 1 "any failure you meet, is never a defeat; merely a set up for a greater come back", W Forbes.

joey45 Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Funny thing is that a friend and I have been flying the A-10A in preparation. When you use her properly she can wreak havoc and honestly beyond the Su-25 it's the easiest one to fly..... Would that be because the su-25 [t] has AFM. The A10-C in DCS will have AFM and will fly completely differant then in LOCMAC/FC. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Vekkinho Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Hannibal, I suggest popping over at 51st dedi on HL. There's couple of them on rotation and every one has some interesting A-10A slots...try it! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
hannibal Posted September 9, 2009 Author Posted September 9, 2009 thanks vek.. i will check out.. but i find it more fun when working with others via teamspeak or ventrilo..also find me on steam! username: Hannibal_A101A http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197969447179
RedTiger Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 You're joking, right?! Maybe he means "I know no migs...just MiGs". ;)
igormk Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 I also fly a Hog. Unfortunately it is hard for me to plan my free time in advance, I usually just pop in on HL or fly with my friends when I’m free. But I would use this opportunity to encourage events like Black Sea Showdown hosted by 169th Panthers on 15th August. It was preplanned HL event with RED and BLUE side, around 30 pilots on each side, a lot of planning in advance and everything was smoothly covered with TS on few channels. I can just say that it was my most interesting simming experience ever. I also must stress that despite majority of participants were flying fighters, and were A-A orientated, A-10s (and Su-25Ts) made A LOT of damage to the enemy, and we achieved very high score on the final list. For me Hog is the most interesting and fun plane to fly in LOFC, and I can’t wait to try it in DCS! :D Best wishes! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

ExitiumMachina Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 plz stay on topic.. im just trying to get people together, introduce and fly... u meet a buddy, and fly A-10, Su-25, etc... its all good. we already know the community is small.. this forum is a great way to get together..because sometimes it seems like no one is on (or people are on at various times) my Xire is hannibal636 The community is small, but it is very open and learning based. You can pretty much hop on any server that is populated and tell them you are just learning, most if not all will help out. Even better if you can hop onto the TeamSpeak server (if available), keep comms at a minimum and get taught by some of the best pilots in Lock On. How I started with the A-10 was just going through the training until it was second nature, pretty much up until I was doing what I needed to do in almost a natural response mode. Go from the training to a server like the 51st or the 169th, both excellent servers for new pilots, most if not all the players on each of those servers are more than willing to help out. Good luck mate.
vrv Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Flew a CAS mission today in the A-10A. Long story short after wreaking havoc I took a SAM in my tail and some AA fire. Left engine was on fire and got destroyed, actually most of my left side was heavily damanged. Everything except for my landing gear and air brake was shot and my right wing was clipped. Managed to turn around, take the SAM and a BMP out with the GAU and then flew another ten minutes back to base before successfully landing. Took a punch right to the face but I still beat them up and stole their girlfriends :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] EtherealN: I will promptly perform a sex change and offer my hand in marriage to whomever
