Offensive armament
The A-10C is armed with:
- A choice between two presets:
- 1 x 30 mm GAU-8/A cannon, chin-mounted (1,174 rpg) + 480 x countermeasures
- 1 x 30 mm GAU-8/A cannon + 480 x countermeasures + MAW
Suspended armament
Describe the aircraft's suspended armament: additional cannons under the wings, bombs, rockets and torpedoes. This section is especially important for bombers and attackers. If there is no suspended weaponry remove this subsection.
| Default weapon presets | |

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
Pros:
- AIM-9Ms are very potent against its range of targets
- HMD allows for off boring the missiles
- Very advanced HMD shows IFF (in cockpit view) of both friendly ground and air units.
- MAWS (Automatic release of countermeasures)
- Large array of CAS ordinance
- Large pool of countermeasures
- Decent turn rate
- Laser Warning System
Cons:
- Very slow for a jet
- Subsonic, and can get outsped by propeller-driven planes
- Even slower when mounting further ordinance
- Large target
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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.

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.

- topic on the official game forum;
- other literature.
