>>10233415The A-10 always struck me as taking a certain kind of crazy. Like "Charging a tank with a kilogram of C4 because we're out of anti-tank rockets" kind of crazy. I mean, every asshole and their mother can take potshots at them and a metric fuckton of high explosives are just hanging from the wings. I'm honestly surprised nobody has managed to vaporize an A-10 by setting off the ordinance.
The A-10 is a damn good plane, in the end. Built like a tank and carting firepower comparable to some bombers, it's entirely plausible that entire battles have been won due to the Warthog.
...wait, can you land an A-10 on a carrier?
