On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

Props to the MiG-21 pilot for a valiant effort. I've learned that in a Mig-21 without SARH's or all-aspect R-60M's, you need to be very patient and careful against an A-10. He'll always be able to turn inside your circle, so you've gotta use the vertical and manage your energy. That said, the planform of the A-10 is HUGE, so a crossing snapshot is a lot easier.

Can you do a video where you take the A10 to its highest altitude, and then attack ground targets? I think it could be cool to see the A10 loiter way up high, and just dump its full arsenal on a heavily fortified target.

@swordmonkey6635 9 ай бұрын

A-10's were designed and built around CAS (Close Air Support). They thrive when close to the ground rolling in the dirt. High altitude would make them very vulnerable in ways they can't easily counter. It's possible to get an A-10 to do a high altitude mission, but why when other aircraft are better and more suited for that role?

@NATUREFORTRESS 9 ай бұрын

@@swordmonkey6635 I generally understand the A-10's designed role. I suppose my request is in pursuit of GS's ability to put aircraft into situations they were not designed for, then challenging their capabilities.

@swordmonkey6635 9 ай бұрын

@@vill5325 I didn't define CAS as requiring the need to fly close to the enemy. I said that the A-10's was designed for CAS and was meant to fly at lower levels to fulfill its mission. Turbine engines and straight wings to allow it to loiter low and slow over an engagement. Redundant systems and armored cockpit tub against enemy ground fire. The infamous GAU-8 to destroy armored targets (originally Soviet armor). All of these things were meant for low level CAS. Not high altitude. The A-10 can do high altitude, but it's strengths lesson and weaknesses grow in the higher altitudes.

@swordmonkey6635 9 ай бұрын

@@vill5325 Ask a soldier or Marine what they think about an A-10 flying overhead, Brrrrt'ing the enemy as they are engaged. It's the psychological effect the Warthog has on both the friendly and enemy troops that must be factored in. Yes, it was designed to take on Soviet Armor in Eastern Europe, but it proved itself in Iraq tenfold in becoming less a tank killer and more of a enemy suppression weapon. They're cheap and effective for what they do. Can other aircraft do some of the roles better? Yes, but soldiers and Marines love the Warthog for a good reason: they can see it and they know the pilot is flying in harm's way to keep them safe.

Before i even watch the video i wanted to say... Your video title is 100% correct. The A10 is the worlds #1 air to ground close support platform...PERIOD. And as 2 theater of operations Marine...we love our guardian angel when she is there. The AC130 Gunship/Spooky etc is our Angel of Death and it is awesome but has the advantage of height and gravity with the pylon turn and several choices of firepower on scene. But the A10, even though the AF is in charge of it, is our Guardian Angel when she is around. She is down here in the mix, taking fire, supporting us, saving us...and WE lover her. And i know there is talk of sidelining her in the AF....And i hope it happens. Because we Marines usually get the left over equipment and such cuzz it works for us and that is proven all the time. So i hope the AF drops her....in our lap!!! And then we get control of that AMAZING platform. Now...on to the video. Love what you are doing brother.

I worked munitions and the chaff flares come in "buckets" the F-16 takes 4 buckets the A-10 takes 16 buckets. I hated when we had to do the initial loadout of the A-10 for combat. So many chaff and flares for days. In early days of Iraq we put Jdam kits on our concrete practice 2000lb bombs and dropped them on tanks next to hospitals and churches. The shear kanetic energy would knock the turret flying off with no explosion.
