@@mr_bischof1406 well I would understand why a higher ranking vehicle is more expensive but 60$ is a little overkill, but at the same time the game needs balance so if 9.0 vehicles where 20-40 I'm sure it would be massively unbalanced.
The gun is actually mounted pointing a few degrees down as the recoil is so strong that when the gun fires, it actually lifts the nose of the plane slightly and its that lifting of the nose that actually brings the gun to line up with what the pilot is sighting.
This is not true. The main gun is mounted slightly to the port side of the fuselage so the firing barrel is perfectly lined up to the center and slightly below the plane's center of gravity.. There is no downward angle.

I started watching your videos this week and been binging a lot. I haven’t played WT in a good 5 years and decided to download and boot up only to have my account progress reset so now I have to restart from the beginning. But at least I get some good content with your videos!
At top tier it's fun to see all of 'em come in. Though when 90% of your team is SPAA and absolutely prepared for it.... they don't fare so well. 70% of German 8.7 teams at the moment are Bagleitpanzers. It's a slaughter if the A-10s don't know how to use AGM-65s properly.
It doesn't take much to break the lock on a maverick. Smoke up and move 10 feet, your safe. Just gotta be paying attention. At least you can see the a10, the ka50s are a much sneakier issue, and that stupid missle they shoot kills planes, tanks and other choppers.
Thanks loads for the great introduction to the A-10. BTW, I’ve been watching your vids for the past few months and I can not begin to describe how much I’ve learned watching you, or how much my game play has improved. I not only get to laugh with you, I learn from you as well.
I got the premium AND research tree one...simply because I LOVE the A-10. I've loved em since I was 8 years old and it was one of the first plane models I ever built. Iconic, amazing and even if it sucks in ground RB with all the AA it's still a badass plane!
I love the A-10 - If you have ever seen one with the gun outside of the airplane, you will quickly realize that the gun system is Almost as large as the Entire Airplane. My kind of Dakka for sure!
What a lovely saturday morning, enjoying a cup of coffee and this lovely video. Always makes me smile to see Odd enjoy the game this much. Hope you get fully cured, of your ailments Odd. And may the rest of you have a great weekend as well.
The AGMs have been tricky for me I don't recognise a lock while the sight is up. Really nifty when they work though lol. How do you lock them without going into the sight?
i think the default key is ALT+C, my game is in spanish so maybe the translation is not accurate: Navigation----> weaponry----> target lock (Air-to-Ground) . You will see a green dot that you must align with the target.
There's a campground in New Jersey I used to go as a teen with a airforce range near by and on Sunday everything we went the a-10's would be out for shooting practice it was the best.
No worry with the algorithm, im sure it will be back to normal after a week or two... at least i hope so. Would be a shame to see your channel fall, you might be the one youtuber with phly that keeps me to play war thunder.

New sub…. Just picked this thing up as I’ve never played Air in ground RB but love the A10… learning curve to say the least! Watching this video was pure pleasure to my eyes and picked up some good tips! That’s some skill you have! Great content!!
I played a game in 10.0 Germany on American Desert earlier today. I spawned into my Leo 2A4, capped C cap, got a kill, and died. I figured, why the hell not, take out the FlakRakPz to see what happens (I carry a full lineup, not just the 2A4 + SPAA). 6 SAM kills, all of which were A-10s. The A-10 truly is food for SPAA. You have to make sure to either climb as soon as you spawn in or get really low and fast to avoid those radar pings. Air superiority is key with the A-10, and it cannot reliably obtain that on its own.
I love this plane IRL! If I had 20/20 vision, my plan after high school (class of 1990) was to join the Air Force and fly the Hog! Unfortunately, I have been wearing glasses since I was 4 years old...😭 Remember, you're not "surrounded on all sides", you're "in a target rich environment"...LoL

Have you heard anything about Nixse? Been without uploads for quite a while now and hoping things are ok. Great video Odd...keep'em coming!
The A10 is op in ARB because its slow and maneuverable and fights planes with no flares that cant escape the 9L. The most terrifying thing is when they put Russia and US together with SU25s and A10s.
I think I should say for people who don't know, but the A-4E's cockpit seems to be bugged as it seems to lag the game HARD. So be careful when you use it, since I know people like to take it with the A-10

it's actually slightly off to one side as well to account for the recoil

ALSO still working up the ranks. Just one more prop plane left before I can research my first jet.
You'll have far more fun now. Top tier is unbalanced as all hell. Planes insta kill tanks and get insta killed by AA, literally just who spawns what
Dude I really like this channel. I went from 1 kill if I was lucky to 4-6 a game with maybe 1 death because of your way of explaining this game.
Always look forward to getting home and watching The lad of lads never a dull video love your vids Mr Odd glad your doing better
