The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single-seat, twin-turbofan, straight-wing, subsonic attack aircraft developed by Fairchild Republic for the United States Air Force (USAF). In service since 1977, it is named after the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, but is commonly referred to as the "Warthog" or simply "Hog".The A-10 was designed to provide close air support (CAS) to ground troops by attacking enemy armored vehicles, tanks, and other ground forces; it is the only production-built aircraft designed solely for CAS to have served with the U.S. Air Force.Its secondary mission is to direct other aircraft in attacks on ground targets, a role called forward air controller (FAC)-airborne; aircraft used primarily in this role are designated OA-10.

    Cool bug fact’s:
    -The A-10 was originally built to be expendable cannon fodder; if a non-nuclear war went on with the Soviet Union, all examples were expected to be shot down in the first two weeks.
    -The A-10A has almost no targeting devices, forcing pilots to use binoculars while moving at 300 miles per hour at several thousand feet.
    -The aircraft was extremely outdated before it went into service
    -Conversion to A-10C configuration costs more than that to build a brand new F-35, that or an attack helicopter can fill the job at a fraction of the cost.
    -The GAU-8/A is inaccurate, inefficient, and has trouble piercing even 1960s tanks.
    -Has the highest number of friendly fire incidents of any aircraft in history.
    -Had the lowest kill count of any strike aircraft during Desert Storm, and 90% of kills were from the AGM-65 Maverick
    - Its creators are a bunch of borderline traitors called the “Reformers”, who reject modern aircraft technology and want aircraft to stay gunfighters forever. They use this aircraft as proof of their ideology, and have said so on many hostile states’ media.

    Nvm, you can scale. Just don't use massScale

    Do not use massScale on rocket pods. It causes them to become negative mass as you empty them

    Firing rocket pods continuously causes self detonation of the plane. Do not downscale them with XML modding
