zeitgeist57 Posted September 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Why does the air force want to get rid of these again? +1 fucking thousand. The less "Geneva Convention" matters in modern warfare, the more I want new tech put on A-10 Warthogs for close combat support. Next up, I want a turret-mounted rail-gun, mounted on the side of the airframe and operated remotely. A-10 goes all BRRRRRRRP on heavy equipment, then loiters around a hot zone, with a gunner firing at smaller targets using a "drone-like" interface at a remote command post.

mmrmnhrm Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Why does the air force want to get rid of these again? Because these are designed to fly low and slow. AF prefers zoom zoom because it's (supposedly) sexier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TURBOED Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Just went to the air force museum in Dayton with one of my best friends, who flies A-10's. Pretty surreal (and awesome) standing next to the plane hearing him talk about dropping bombs and shooting things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The military rarely makes wise decisions when it comes to their equipment. Since we are talking about the A-10 let's talk about the competitor CAS aircraft based on an aviation legend that never made superceeded or replaced the A10 even though it had two chances to. the Piper PA-48 Enforcer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piper_PA-48_Enforcer the A1 Skyraider was the Close Air Support predecessor to the A-10 but was really WWII tech aging out of the fray fast. While the A-10 was being considered at the same time David Lindsey of Cavalier aircraft was pitching a repowered Turboprop P51 Mustang II called the Cavalier Turbo Mustang III. The advantage was an operating cost below any jet aircraft being considered. Lacking the political clout to pull of a sale to the gov't, David sold the concept to Piper who in 1970 made a full court press to sell it as a CAS in direct competition to the a10. The A-10 won and began operations in 1972. Piper continued to lobby for re-evaluation all the way until 1984 and in 1984 when production of the A-10 ended they launched another full court press to try and pitch it as a CAS aircraft. The Air Force didn't bite. If you want to see one of these retooled P51's there is one at Dayton, It's pretty neat except by the time Piper was done the plane was only 10% p-51.

Orion Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 My favorite military aircraft of all time. Also, fucking lost it at "Let me sing you the song of my people..."

BigOxley Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Does anyone remember that movie on the Bradley with Carey Ewes (I think that's him)? He played a Air Force officer that was overseeing the M2 project. Holy fuck, military be dumb...speaking as a MSgt in the air guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 When you are shoving the f35 and f22 down everyones throat you have to get rid of anything that does their job better than they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 The problem with the F22 and the F35 is that they have an "F" in front, and not an "A". That sounds silly, but it's true. Those jets were designed with Air to Air combat in mind first, and everything else was secondary. In this world, though, there isn't going to be much opportunity for a nation to legitimately have a chance at controlling the skies against the US, and so there will always be a need for a close air support specialist. If they don't recognize that, it's going to take getting our asses kicked for a while to drive it home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
