Well the a-10 has at least 3 compasses. His HUD has a digitl one on the top so he knows which way he is going. Also he isnt turning durning the shot, so he is going the same direction when he stops pulling the trigger.

When the gun fires, the entire aircraft shakes. Each of those rounds has the ability to kill a tank. If you put more than three rounds on target, they're no longer even on earth. They're probably up in the stratosphere.

@cambium0 2 жыл бұрын

Well ... that's not really true. A lucky shot on top armor maybe but doubtful. Remember most tank kills in the Iraq wars were f111's with smart bombs. The Hog is good for just about everything sub-tank. Possibly a mobility kill.
