A10 tactics and combat maneuvering (videos)

[SmokeyTheLung]

I've been balls deep into this sim for months now. I'm getting comfortable the all the little bells and whistles, loving every minute, and feel confident that I can use the various systems to good effect.

 

As I fly around engaging various targets I'm starting to wonder, how would a real pilot approach this situation? I've read some really helpful texts on the subject but, for me, nothing is as helpful as some good cockpit footage.

 

I found these the other night and thought I'd share. (HUD tape, training)

I thought it would be nice to have a place for others to post good quality cockpit footage of a10s in combat or training. (I'm thinking we should limit it to HUD footage only, as this is really about the precise maneuvers used in combat to employ weapons)

So if you've got em, let er rip!

Those all try to get me to buy his book. Motive? Otherwise, decent vids I suppose but it wasn't educational or training in my opinion.

What are the tick marks in an arc formation?

[SmokeyTheLung]

true, but never mind the books, just post up some good HUD footage if you know where to find it

30mm CAS.

 

The audio is intense in this one, the guy calling in the runs is clearly under fire.
