Since the recent cut of the A-10 "Warthog" from the U.S. Military, and the (in my opinion) complete failure of the F-35, the military had to find a replacement that could meet and exceed the A-10.

The A-30 Vanguard is essentially a modified A-10 with beefed up armor and engines. The A-30 is still equiped with the GAU-8 Avenger, and is mainly used for ground attack.

AG1: launch all missiles.

AG2: drop all bombs.

AG3: drop rocket pods.
