The A-10 Thunderbolt II is an American single-seat, twin-engine, straight-wing jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic in the early 1970s. The A-10 was designed for a United States Air Force requirement to provide close air support (CAS) for ground forces by attacking tanks, armored vehicles, and other ground targets with a limited air interdiction capability. It is the first U.S. Air Force aircraft designed exclusively for close air support.

The A-10 was designed around the GAU-8 Avenger, a heavy automatic cannon which forms the aircraft's primary armament. The aircraft's hull incorporates over 1,200 pounds (540 kg) of armor and was designed with survivability as a priority, with protective measures in place which enable the aircraft to continue flying even after taking significant damage.

The A-10's official name comes from the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt of World War II, a fighter that was particularly effective at close air support. The A-10 is more commonly known by its nickname "Warthog" or simply "Hog". As a secondary mission, it provides airborne forward air control, guiding other aircraft against ground targets. A-10s used primarily in this role are designated OA-10. The A-10 is expected to be replaced in 2028 or later.

  • @zonavelha I'm running it with a single core processor and i can get up to about 30 or 40 fps when im not flying near a large city

  • btw... it flies low lvl only to make it effective. hahaha. i'm not a pilot. i eat pork. yum yum

  • frames are lost in heavy airports w/lots of AIplanes, unless u have a monster system. anyway, it doesn't matter coz this is an a-10. it does not land on commercial airports. if u like flight simming, park-takeoff-land in a military air base. haha. new a-10s have confidential infos where non-military personnel can get near it. PARK IN HEATHROW! HAHAHA
