A-10 Close Call

only good for carpet bombing? what about taking out the planes trying to carpet bomb you? who cares if it didnt happen yet, they'd be the first ones on the job.

He's an Idiot? Yeah, they get their info from the guys on the ground, and they F**k it up a great deal of the time. The only thing the Air Force is good for, is carpet bombing. That's why they need to give the A10 to the Corp! And I have heard from very reliable sorces, if you want close air support call the Marines, if the Marines are unavailabe call the navy, if the navy is busy and you don't care whether you live or die, call the Air Force. So go F**k yourself on that one pal!

You are an idiot. What do you think they do just fly around and shoot whatever they like? They get there missions called in from Army and Marine units on the ground, or FAC.

silent assassin indeed. such a high velocity round. One of the scarier sounds of war. might I also suggest incoming mortar whistles, german studka diving runs, sonar bleeps of impending unknown vessel.

Except for the part where they are relying on information from ground troops to spot and identify targets.

Stupid fuckin Air Force.. Air Force pilots are the dumbest F**ks .. They are responsible for the majority of "friendly fire" deaths.

30mm slugs comming down lads ! And F**k me that sound of the barrel spinning and the firing following seconds later jeeezzzzz

S**t it does sound like a warthog. Scary stuff, yet somewhat exciting.

This is as close as your going to get to seeing what it feels like when the enemy gets hit by those 30 mm rounds.

This plane and gun are just incredible, a rain of armor piercing incendiary 30mm rounds hits you before you even hear the gun firing.

Man, to be a Taliban fighter in the mountains and JUST HEARING that 30mm cannon buzz nearby, knowing your extremist friends are getting lit up nearby has to be terrifying...THANK GOD FOR THE US AIR FORCE AND THE A10!

:0 where was that from?

The thing is though, if you got hit you would never hear that sound.

The profile from that gun "Brrrrrrr!" is probably one of the most terrifying sounds imaginable.

Actually I think the pomms wished they'd stayed home that day
