LOMAC Flaming Cliffs 2 - A10 CAS MISSION + Landing with Major Damage

[Ranger79]

I use to fly in JANES USAF, but have not played LOMAC 2 much. Here is an edited A-10 CAS Mission, had to land pretty banged up. I know alot of the "old hands" might think I did alot of things wrong, but I am still learning. Enjoy.

 

Description:

A-10 Close Air Support Mission, tasking to destroy 3 Artillery Units which are seriously damaging US Ground Forces. Wingman had to eject, I took major damage and made a landing (very ugly) without hydraulics, hud, air brakes, or flaps.

Sweet stuff. Can't help thinking FC2 A-10 will soon seem like F14 Fleet Defender.

Hmm, small arms fire did that much damage to the "flying tank"? Seems unbelievable that landing 3/4 down the runway with no flaps or air brakes would not result in ending up in the grass.

 

Nice video though. Good flying and shooting.

A common misconception. There are no flying tanks. There are no even flying APCs :D No flying thing can carelessly take 12.7 mm hits. The 'armor' is there just to not make the first projectiles fatal. It can still happen though.

 

I agree on the landing outcome.

 

Great vid!

Yeah, I should have pulled up and made another pass, but I landed at about 130-140 mph and slammed on the wheel brakes, I thought I was going to end up 300 yards in the grass as well.

I love flying the A-10, cant wait till the new game comes out. Excuse the flying only have about 10-15 hours in the hog, been watching alot of tutorials, great community support for rookies like me.
