Armaments
Offensive armament
The A-10A is armed with:
- A choice between two presets:
- 1 x 30 mm GAU-8/A cannon, chin-mounted (1,174 rpg)
- 1 x 30 mm GAU-8/A cannon + 480 x countermeasures
Suspended armament
The A-10A can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- Without load
- 42 x Hydra-70 M247 rockets
- 84 x Hydra-70 M247 rockets
- 84 x Hydra-70 M247 rockets + 2 x AIM-9L Sidewinder missiles
- 10 x 500 lb LDGP Mk 82 bombs (5,000 lb total)
- 12 x 500 lb LDGP Mk 82 bombs (6,000 lb total)
- 12 x 500 lb LDGP Mk 82 bombs + 2 x AIM-9L Sidewinder missiles (6,000 lb total)
- 6 x 2,000 lb LDGP Mk 84 bombs (12,000 lb total)
- 6 x 2,000 lb LDGP Mk 84 bombs + 2 x AIM-9L Sidewinder missiles (12,000 lb total)
- 4 x 2,000 lb GBU-8 bombs (8,000 lb total)
- 4 x 2,000 lb GBU-8 bombs + 2 x AIM-9L Sidewinder missiles (8,000 lb total)
- 6 x AGM-65B missiles
- 6 x AGM-65B missiles + 2 x AIM-9L Sidewinder missiles
- 2 x AIM-9L Sidewinder missiles
- 2 x 20 mm M61 cannons (1,200 rpg = 2,400 total)
Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).
Pros and cons
Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".
Pros:
- Deadly GAU-8 cannon
- High number and variety of suspended weapons
Cons:
- Not very high top speed, making it an easy target both from the ground and in the sky
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
See also
Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:
- reference to the series of the aircraft;
- links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.
