A-10 tips

[b00ce 160]

well in this game nothing works when it comes to air ...

In real life a10 has its own laser designator ... but in the game you need to have some guy on the ground laser designating targets for ya so you can lock them.

Are you talking about the Pave-penny under the cockpit? That's a laser receiver, not transmitter. And that funky thing on the left wing is for Electronic Countermeasures. :p

In order to transmit a laser signal, you need a lightning pod (Or something similar), seen on the right wing of this A-10C.

Currently, the A-10 in game is an A model and incapable of using one.

Edit:

Damn, ninja'd. That's what I get for not reading the whole thread.

Conserve Ammo. When I first started I would use all of my ammo for all weapons on just one run, try use just one burst from the GAU-12, or just one GBU or Maverick for each run

I meant the LGB camera which is in fact in newer version.

Thanks for correcting me,

BTW,what is that big missile or whatever it is :d ?

I can make some videos using A10 if you're that interested.

It's an external fuel tank, with 600 gallons of extra fuel. It's never used in combat, only for ferrying missions, relocating from one base to another.

If you want that, play DCS Warthog. ;)

If the missile is fire and forget, like the maverick, AGM-114L or Javelin, and your view distance is restricted to well within the missile's maximum range, I fail to see a problem with Tab-shoot. The maverick uses a thermal imaging seeker to lock onto heat sources, Tab-shoot only takes out the tedious task of trying to lock onto a moving target from a moving platform.

The things I DON'T want to see Tab-shoot in are laser guided ordinance, optically tracked, like the TOW and Metis, and passive IR seekers, like the Stinger and Sidewinder.
