Is there anybody who's has a video of an A-10 killing a tank with only his cannon or could somebody make it?
I don't know if it's even possible

You want a video in-game or in real life?

I doubt it's possible in game

Ok so it ain't happening in-game.

Shouldn't be too hard to find a video in RL, though.

FFS it only takes like 6 rounds to kill a tank...

i havent had much air time yet. and when i did was crashing sorta of on to some pole's or gettin AA in my turbine. needa get some practice in. i had several good bomb runs though. used the cannon to loosen targets up..i would say its really only 15% more powerful then the fulcan on the fighters..................................


in USI it only takes about 5 seconds to blow a tank up with the A-10...but thats USI. this is BF2, (or BFW2) w=whiners....so we cant have real shit.

Yeah,and the GAU shoots 80 rounds per second....but once again,game balance has to remain,if the A10 were like it's in real life I would demand real life-like sniper rifles.

I took out an enemy AA vechile on road rage with the cannon only, just as he nailed me. But seen as there were a couple of friendly tanks right by it and I only fired about a 2 second burst I presuming it was already rather damaged

If this is true than they seriously need to ask themselves why they even put the damned plane in the game to begin with.


I'm no military expert...but I've seen Mail Call! so forgive me if my info is wrong here but...


Isn't the A-10 cannon precisley what is used to kill tanks? isn't it that big nasty bastard of a cannon that enemy tanks fear? I know it has bombs, but from what I saw those were mostly used for anti-personnel and the cannon for tanks.


again I base this off of one ep. of Mail call so if anyone knows better feel free to set me straight...

If they made the A10 as powerful as it is in RL, no one would get in tanks.  Everyone would switch to the American side and continuously TK for it.

Don't forget the a real A-10 is as close to a flying tank as it gets.  It can lose an engine, a third of each wing, and I think it was 70% of the tail section and stay airborn.  The pilot sits in what in what is basically a big titanium bucket and is fairly safe from anything short of an AA missile.  The bottom of the plane was design to survive belly landings (no landing gear)   The cannon will indeed rip a tank a new one and damn quick.  Depleted uranium shells show just that kinda of love.  There's other ordnance that will impact into a tank a then send molten shrapnel in quite a large spread.  In theory, a single shell from that beast of a gun (the gun itself runs about halfway through the entire plane) could incapacitate a tank.  It was scheduled to be retired but because the aircraft is, by comparison anyway, cheap to make, upgrade, maintain, and commands immense respect in the USAF, it's still around.  I've been a fan of the plane since I first sat in one during an air show in 91' and I still want to fly one.  The plane is a powerful legend.

Here's an aw some pic of the GAU:

hmmm

usually I have reservations about whining how its unrealistic but.....




Why the fuck have they made the J10 a superplane and made the Warthog a C-10 with a cannon and bombs???

This is a quote from another thread showing a REAL A10 in action... pretty impressive, so check it out.

Now I haven't got Armoured Fury yet but after reading a lot of the posts here it would seem that the A-10 has produced rather a lot of disappointment.

EA please watch the video at the following link

This is a real life A-10 in action, perhaps you would like to explain what went wrong in the programming???

i killed a tank with an a-10 the first night the game came out... but i already dropped bombs on him and grazed him, caught him on the second pass..... but yeah, it doesn't do much damage, a little more would be nicer

I've tried so many times.

Why? Because they made the A-10 gun sound so freaking cool.

I actually think the A-10 gun has the same strength as the guns mounted on jets in normal BF2. I know i've killed tanks with the F-35 while hovering and it memory serves me right, it took about 20seconds.

Yes, a real A10 can cut through a tank like butter.. WOW! Its around 1/4 through the video, FYI ....

My friend i tested out the dmg in an empty server. We found out that the cannon can indeed take out a tank in one pass, going full speed. The big problem i've noticed is people are missing thier shots you have to accomodate for the massive drop and keep it steady on the target. I'll try and fraps it. AA guns/APC are easy to kill gun only.
