polygonpusher Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 I had to share this... While attacking a group of armor, my right engine was damaged so I made an emergency landing on the road. Safely down, I noticed the targeting pod was STILL tracking my assailant. Quite naturally, I followed the road back to his location - the last stretch across a grassland meadow. As I neared the tank, it's machine gun opened up, and I tried to respond with my own. Rounds from the GAU impacted uselessly only feet from my nose. Clearly this needed to be a point blank affair. Advancing to close the distance- short bursts of Avenger cannon testing the range, 30 yards, 20... I was almost there! Both engines died. Before my hog was shredding completely, I gave one last long pull on the trigger... The sustained fire caused the entire ship to rock back on it's haunches - rear wheels digging into the earth, the nose pivoting skyward; and with it a devastating stream of fire. "...low altitude capabilities..." I'd say so. :music_whistling: 1

x4nPro Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 What a mess. Some people can´t stop flying DCS A-10 like a arcarde game... :D - getting caught by a armor group - FAIL - landing on the road - FAIL I think your flight officer had a long debrief with you. ;) ### x52pro Profile - forum thread ###
polygonpusher Posted January 21, 2011 Author Posted January 21, 2011 Antics aside, I am looking forward to beta-5 :)

Not everyone is a real hog pilot like you.. :D
polygonpusher Posted January 22, 2011 Author Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) Not everyone is a hog pilot, but I want to be absolutely clear - I am extremely appreciative of the complexity and fidelity of this sim. If anything were dumbed down or taken out for "game play" purposes, I would be extremely disappointed. I like the fact that you have to wait for the gyros to spin up, and that the cdu is a beast to learn... There is a special satisfaction that comes from learning these systems as they exist in real life. Though sometimes I may not play in a realistic fashion, most of the time I strive to do just that, and am glad for every but of fidelity and nuance I can get. Edited January 22, 2011 by polygonpusher

First off the A-10 is made to land in bad locations and second If the closest usable surface he could find that he was comfortable to land on was a road good job.
polygonpusher Posted January 22, 2011 Author Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) Before this gets out of hand, I don't think X4nPro's comments were meant to be taken too seriously or as some kind of personal assault against my airmen-ship. I certainly didn't. All in good fun ladies and gents. Edited January 22, 2011 by polygonpusher
Conure Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 There's no fun about it. The fact that you are trying to have fun and do these kind of things is a: insulting to the developers, b: insulting to real pilots and c: insulting to our community. This is a simulation, not a game, and I will be writing to waggs to request he revoke your key until you submit a 3000 word essay on why professionalism is important in virtual aviation. Now get off my site and start writing.
