hassata Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Looks interesting ahead of A-10 DCS. Anyone know if it discusses systems and such, or is it just detailed pics for the model builders? http://www.amazon.com/Modern-Hog-Guide-10-Warthog/dp/0979506425/ref=pd_sim_b_5 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
coolts Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 None of the reviews mention systems operation. Still looks like a good book though. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] i7 9700k | 32gb DDR4 | Geforce 2080ti | TrackIR 5 | Rift S | HOTAS WARTHOG | CH PRO Pedals

hassata Posted June 16, 2010 Author Posted June 16, 2010 That book looks good. Here's an interesting article: http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/a-highertech-hog-the-a10c-pe-program-03187/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

No systems operation insight, though. I only respond to that little mechanical voice that says "Terrain! Terrain! Pull Up! Pull Up!"

Brit_Radar_Dude Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 The Smallwood book on the A-10 is excellent, i got mine years ago and must've read it a dozen times. Check out the same authors book on the F-15E in the Gulf war http://www.amazon.com/Strike-Eagle-Flying-F-15E-Warriors/dp/1574888854/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1276739391&sr=1-1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Sorry Death, you lose!

Not only is it a great read, it is also good for learning tactics. They go into great detail about how they planned, how they flew, how they attacked, how they coordinate runs, etc. Really, excellent book! None of the other A10 books I have picked up compare to this. Most others are just picture books.
coolts Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 As Brit said, get the F-15e book as well. Very good read. I wish someone would do a similar book on A-10's in peration Allied Force as that conflict will probably be more enlightening come DCS:A-10C, because, in Iraq, A-10's could fly high, whereas, you try doing that in FC and you will avoid IR SAMS but radar SAMS will get you for sure. Hopefully SEAD will do their thing in DCS:A-10c before sending in the hogs! I've just ordered "thud ridge".

hassata Posted July 2, 2010 Author Posted July 2, 2010 Well the Hog Guide didnt go into much systems, but great pics. Good for a pit builder. More of a 40 buck porno for me. Here are some pf my favorites: Samurai-zeros/pacific Stuka Pilot-you guessed it/eastern front Chickenhawk-Huey's/Vietnam The Blonde Knight-109's/Europe When Thunder Rolled-Rasimus F-105's Palace Cobra-Rasimus F4's Low Level Hell-Hughes/Vietnam A lonely Kind of War-FAC/Vietnam The first two are absolutely incredible in any genre. Also one more which I'v elost or misplaced about a 105 driver in Vietnam. Guy's obviously not a writer, but what a story. Don't remember the name, but the guy spent the a long time in the air force worried that 40/20 vision did not meet the requirement. Lived in dread of being found out. Also instructor thought he ws cheating when he held the plane perfect under the hood, and no instruments. Washed him out. Another instructor asked him how he did it. He said he kept the shadow on his thigh in the same place. Straight back in and to the top of the class lol. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
coolts Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 'Thud Ridge' is the one you lost I reckon. just started reading it. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] i7 9700k | 32gb DDR4 | Geforce 2080ti | TrackIR 5 | Rift S | HOTAS WARTHOG | CH PRO Pedals
Toxe Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 If you want a documentary, I found this one recently and watched it. You'll need bit torrent to download it. See attached file. Is there a version of this video that is not unnecessarily wrapped inside an EXE file?
Zero_Mass Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Is there a version of this video that is not unnecessarily wrapped inside an EXE file? lol he linked to the A-10A training videos for FC2.0;)
TAIPAN_ Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 lol he linked to the A-10A training videos for FC2.0;) lol yes I did! Sorry all my torrents were in the one folder and I picked the wrong one. I found the torrent for "Great Planes" now but unfortunately there are no more seeders. Have a look around, if you find the Great Planes series of documentaries it's on of them. I also like the F-16 episode. It's a shame they didn't cover the su-25 or the sturmovik, they do cover alot of older planes.
