| You know how quickly you'd have to react to a low flying bird traveling at high speed?
I know what the heck those Vulcanos and Shilkas are. Truth is, a light machine gun will probably have a better chance of hitting an A-10 because it can be swung around faster. Of course a light machine gun won't be able to take it out.
If you're out in the open, they'll hit you with Mavericks. If you're in a forest they'll pop up for a split second, fire off a burst of GAU-8 and before you know it the trees will get in your way and you won't get a shot off.
No doubt there will be A-10s shot down anyway one way or another but I still think it would be a feasible close air support jet.
If you don't agree, we'll go with your logic and say SAM renders the Air Force obsolete. |
