[quote=“eMKay,post:11,topic:39676"”] They will remain in service until the F-35A (The USAF CTOL version with a GAU-12) is introduced in 2011. [/quote] There’s nothing out there that can replace the A10. JSF is not a low speed tank buster. Titanium bathtub FTW. ---

I can GUARANTEE that the a-10 is still in service… I saw a pair of them shoot up some buildings/water tower like 2 weeks ago… I have a crappy video I will post up one day if I get the time/ chance. BAD ASSS!!! ---

it is also called the silent killer because the bullets hit far before you hear the sound. If I was on the recieving end of that I would be terrified everytime I herd one of those planes were in the area. this is interesting also ahhhhhhh ---

The A10 is way more lethal to tanks and other heavily armored targets. The AC-130’s are more for infantry and lightly armored vehicles. ---

[quote=“The\_Russian,post:36,topic:39676"”] ^ becuase 105mm howitzer shells are meant for light armor… [/quote] i was saying that because the A10 has laser guided missles/bombs more designed for hitting moving targets, ie: tanks. regardless, they’re both sweet planes i wouldn’t want to see overhead if i was the enemy. ---
