Re: Aircraft weapons

While the A-10C upgrades might be different, the avionics on the O/A-10A and O/A-10B were pretty bare bones. This is a well known reality. While it could carry most of the weapons in the USAF...

Re: Aircraft weapons

Wow, heh, I'm amazed I hadn't noticed that myself before. But that's definitely a little error. It seems to be the case throughout the OOBs, like it originated in one place and as the unit was...

Re: Aircraft weapons

I would think that the sheer fact that 30x173mm has almost identical muzzle velocity and is bigger and therefore packs a greater punch is a distinct advantage. I do not have any sort of any...

Re: Aircraft weapons

Because its cheaper and easier? As far as, I know the GAU-8/A and its ammunition do not rank up as one of the costlier weapon systems ever developed by the US military. There is also not a wealth...

Re: Aircraft weapons

I'd like to see some sources on that, seeing as how widespread Tungsten is as a core metal in kinetic energy penetrators. It really seems to be the metal of choice for such things. The only reason...

Re: Aircraft weapons

Its not a matter of innovation, its a matter of standard loadouts. The Mk 268 Mod 0 APFSDS-T round is not a DU round. The USAF does not use this round, and the MV differences have already been...
