A-10 Thunderbolt II
At the moment this plane is my prized possession. I’ve probably put 30 or so hours into trying to perfect it and is my first fairly high detailed plane. It isn’t a perfect clone of a real-life A-10 but i think it looks good and works really well. Any comments and suggestions are appreciated.
AG1- Parachutes
AG2- Afterburners
AG5- Weapons activation (All but GAU-8)
AG7- Restraining hook for carrier landing (I know A-10s don’t have them, but I wanted to add it anyways)
AG8- Engines
VTOL- Flaps Takeoff- VTOL down Trim down throttle 100%, for faster takeoff AG2 for afterburners.
Carrier Takeoff- VTOL down Trim down throttle 100%, for faster takeoff AG2 for afterburners.
Landing- Throttle 50% (or 30% with afterburners on) VTOL down Trim down touchdown with back wheels first and be very gentle. To steep of a landing attempt WILL result in a catastrophic explosion.
Weapons:
Air to Air
- 8x AIM-9 Sidewinder. Has a wide locking range and good speed but mediocre turning
- 4x MAA-5A Coral These are custom missiles made by FlyingHueman on his Socrux S. FA-275 Peixe-Espada CLG ( Really cool plane, go check it out.) All credit goes to him.
Air to Ground
-1x Boom 50
-2x AGM-65 Maverick
-6x AGM-114 Hellfire
-56x Rockets They are just normal rockets but in a custom modeled pod also by FlyingHueman.
MISC Weapons
-Standard minigun for whatever
-Custom GAU-8 Avenger equipped with 4000 rounds of USS BEAST destroying capabilities. A one second burst from this thing will sink the beast. This is a crazy gun, as the GAU-8 is. Also looks really cool when firing as you fly.
Thanks for checking it out and have fun BRRRRRTTTing!
