Wiki

The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single-seat, twin turbofan engine, straight wing jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic for the United States Air Force (USAF). It is commonly referred to by the nicknames "Warthog" or "Hog", although the A-10's official name comes from the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, a World War II fighter-bomber effective at attacking ground targets. The A-10 was designed for close air support (CAS) of friendly ground troops, attacking armored vehicles and tanks, and providing quick-action support against enemy ground forces.

    @BogdanX The reason I kept the other air to air is for balancing the plane out. I'll work more on it tm

    @BogdanX This part i actually did quite a bit of research on and they aren't slats. they move out at a high AOA to keep airflow over the wings. But thanks for helping with all this.
