If hit directly on probably not so well :P. But I don’t think the shrapnel itself would do that much damage unless the explosion occured very very close. I think the A-10 would find the FLAK with the TGP quite easily just send a GBU-12 on it.
On a direct 88 hit probably half a wing would be the only thing left from the plane…
On another note I’m under the impression that an 88 wouldn’t fare too good against a low-altitude plane like the A-10. A flakvierling probably would be better.
You…do know the warthog is called the flying tank, right?
This thing has a nasty habit to not give a shit about direct hits from 30mm and lower to the cockpit. That flak-whatever-thing of yours would most likely just piss it of and get you on the wrong end of that GAU-8
Time to bring out the WT auf Pz IV with it’s +70 gun elevation…
The answer is simple to that:
Do we have A-10s in service? Yes
Do we have 8.8cm FlaK in service? Not for over 70 years :P
This is also the reason we have M1 Abrams in service and not Tiger I ;)
The A 10 is built more like a tank than an aircraft. Anything less than a direct hit would be mosly shruged off by his thing. Ans even though, if your lucky, evwn i direct hit might not bring an A 10 down. This think can prob take more hits than some light tanks in wot.
Tiger, what are you doing?! You cant fight jetfighters! You look silly. TIGER!
Stahp!
WT pls :v
now please explain Tiger II vs a fcking jetfighter/bomber :’v
Today Forecast BRRRRT BRRRRT with fuckload of BRRRT BRRRT
Makes me wanna go home from work and startup DCS: A10-C :). Been BRRRTing alot of tanks.
I can’t recall where I read it, but in the ’90s there was a case of an antique M10 tank destroyer getting destroyed by an A-10.
EDIT :
Okay, I figured it out, it was an M36, in 2005, and I read it on FTR. As always, thanks Silentstalker.
I think that Tiger and A10 are just friends rushing to the enemy base.
when suddenly, a flakbus appears.
It hits the A-10! A-10 stronk armor bounces the shot into f-15, which promptly explodes!
A-10 uses BBBRRRRRRT, ammoracks every tank on the map.
nerfpls
poor little tiger :)
PULL UP, PULL UP
Altitude.
Plebs below :P
WHAT ARE YOU DOING FLYING AT THAT ALTITUDE
WINDSHEAR ! TERRAIN ! SINK RATE ! CLIMB NOW !
Wow they stole Pictures from 2 games and combine them XD
The Thunderbolt picture is actually from a Tom Clany game called HAWX.
This will be some work for the legal departments of these 2 Companies I guess.
And HAWX is quite fun.
It makes me want to fire up my XP box and play A10 Cuba. A10 pilots do it inverted. LOL
I’m pretty sure the A-10 artwork is ripped from Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. game.
insert pinoy pride joke here
Well we have tanks from 70s fighting those from 40s…
OP A-10 NERF PLEASE
German technology vs A-10 gun:

I wonder how an A-10 would fare VS 88mm FLAK…

The A10 is designed to fly with half a wing missing, an engine dead, one tail and elavator working:

“Force of Action” is a pretty stupid name.
