WildBillKelsoe Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Welcome again, In a recent skew from normal standoff distance operation, I decided to load the aircraft with LAU113 Mk5 TER, LAU113 SER, no missiles, TGP, or bombs but a pair MK82AIR triplet.. And with a balanced load, 75% fuel. Most stable config I've ever come across. Very hairy down there, but worth the trip. Eyesight search coupled with TAD hooks.. :megalol: I wonder if I only feel that way, and if its normal.. Track 1 hr 45 min. Enjoy AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

Bullet I7 4790K running at 4390 with a gigabyte board with 16 gigs of ram with an Asus gtx 660-ti and 2 tb of hard drive space on 2 wd hard drives. A X-65F Hotas with trackir4 and pro combat peddles. A kick butt home built machine unfortunately running a windows 7 OS.
Guest Fury_007 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 I like it too, but I think I have a giant manpad magnet on my hog! :smilewink:
TulsA-10 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Manpads are just a cost of doing business.. I love seeing the whites of their eyes before unleashing hell.

vrv Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Nothing beats rolling in danger close with the gun deep in Indian country. It's one thing to drop precision guided munitions from outer space but something completely different to get down and dirty with the Hawg the way it was designed to be. I always take out the SAM's, AA, etc. from standoff ranges and get up close once most of the threats are out of the way. Plus the best and only way to do proper CAS is low and slow.

Haha I agree so much. :thumbup: The only issue I run into is that I swear the BMP-3 is like 3x as much of a threat as a Shilka, those things are brutal :(

WildBillKelsoe Posted October 5, 2011 Author Posted October 5, 2011 not from where I stand.. besides, you got a powerful cannon. Make use of it. No excuses gents.. Lock and load..

J. Heller Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Returning the aircraft to base in one piece is my main priority, if it is safe to do so I will roll in with rockets and guns but otherwise it not worth it to have a 5k dollar manpad missle destroy my multi-million dollar aircraft.

jeffyd123 Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 I gotta quit treating my A-10 like its a $60 video game and quit taking so many risks. But then again, my PC slide shows when Im rolling in for an attack and it causes me to drill her in a lot. I gotta get a new rig!

yoshama Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 but I LOVE doing gun runs on Shilkas! :joystick: I feel like high noon with his 4 barrels and my 7 shooter and we both shoot at the same time (about 1.5-1.2 clicks) and the only difference is... I can move!:megalol: Best Complement: "You fly like a Psychotic 5 year old" :joystick: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
