A-10 Arma 3

[WildCat01 10]

Hi,

Arma 3 is my fist Arma game. Is there a way to get the a-10 plane into the game? I need to buy some addons?

[CSLALUKI 30]

Yes. You have to create your own model with textures and config.

Hmm... soo... how to play CAS missions without the MOST important and best CAS platform? I am soooo disappointed, bought this game to play CAS with my friend :(

Remember that the A-10 is already quite a bit past its original use-by-date, and Arma is set 20 years from now in an alternate universe. The A-10 may well be decommissioned in the Armaverse. Alternatively, the A-10 or a sucessor will appear in a later patch or update! They already exist in the form of the All In Arma mod, but that requires buying Arma 2 as well. It may even be modded in as a standalone later. Essentially, time will tell for you I'm afraid!

For now, you'll have to use one of the helicopters or the A 143 Buzzard (AG) -- and play missions with them included. (The A 143 Buzzard is a by-default AAF-faction aircraft, but a mission where a A 143 Buzzard is placed as Empty will allow a NATO or CSAT pilot to get in manually.) Also, the developers' CEO has said that they "are going to release the entire Arma 2 library to the community and allow them create any derivative work within Arma 3", so you can expect an A-10 mod one day. :)

As far as mods go... for fixed-wing there's Gnat's Cessna 185 Skywagon (one of the versions in it has rocket pods but only a few rockets), John_Spartan and Saul's F/A-18E/F (currently it only has a multirole loadout but this weekend should have an update that allows you to customize its loadout), and there's J0nes' AC-130X.

There wasn't a single hint or indication that the A-10 is going to be in A3 anyways (no screenshots, no videos.). IMHO, If you bought the game just to play CAS you are missing a whole lot

Wildcat, if you want to play the A-10 you'll need to download and install a mod called All in Arma. However, to use this mod you will have to own a copy of Arma 2. The mod allows you to use any Arma 2 content in Arma 3.

Or wait for someone to release an A-10 mod.

Looks like someone bought Arma3 before seeing what was to be released! Remember the setting is also 2035 ... A10s around then ? Doubt it !

[WildCat01 10]

OK, form the beginning :] Arma is an easy and fun way to practice CAS, especially Talk-on that when you don`t have a POD is best with a slow and plane. I did not check that there is no A-10 and that the game is 2035... my fault, but when i was typing Arma 3 and A-10 i saw a lot of them ;]

So now for the solution :] All in Arma and witch Arma? Arma 2 or Operation Arrowhead or COMBINED OPERATIONS?

And P.S.

If you don`t know how REAL CAS works pls don`t wright about it, thx :]

Purchase Arma 2 (original). Install it, install AllInArma to Arma 3 and configure it. You can now go to Empty -> Air in the editor and add A-10 (and any other Arma 2 vehicles) though it will have some minor issues.
