Mr Blue Sky but you're providing CAS in your A-10 Thunderbolt II [50th video special]

The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single-seat, twin-turbofan, straight-wing, subsonic attack aircraft. In service since 1976, commonly referred to as the "Warthog" or "Hog", the A-10 was designed to provide close air support (CAS) to friendly ground troops by attacking armored vehicles, tanks, and other enemy ground forces. It is the only production-built aircraft designed solely for CAS to have served with the U.S. Air Force. Its airframe was designed for durability, with measures such as 1,200 pounds (540 kg) of titanium armor to protect the cockpit and aircraft systems, enabling it to absorb damage and continue flying. The aircraft is designed to be able to fly with one engine, half of the tail, one elevator, and half of a wing missing. Its ability to take off and land from relatively short runways permits operation from airstrips close to the front lines, and its simple design enables maintenance with minimal facilities. With a variety of upgrades and wing replacements, the A-10's service life can be extended to 2040; the service has no planned retirement date as of June 2017.

Many, many thanks to my kind Patrons!

One of the reasons cited as to why the A-10 is still in operation inspite of its outdated design and limited combat roles when compared to more modern aircraft, is the morale boost it gives to ground troops when it's in the AO. Apparently there's something about that that really lifts one's spirits.

Anyway, this is all to say that an A-10 Thunderbolt can be legally registered as an emotional support pet.

“Boulevard of broken dreams” but your parents are fighting about the 2008 recession outside

[StickTheGlue]

You're an A-10 pilot and you accidentally strafed a British column because their ID markings looked like red rockets

[maxschaeffner]

Iraqi convoy: exists
A-10 pilot: *“…and I took that personally”*

[bellum]

i honestly prefer listening to these versions than the originals. It's more immersive, great video as always

[Jakey_]

Love the use of DCS sound effects to really get the sounds you want when you want

[warviper]

I love the detail that after he gets hit in one of the engines he's fine, since the a-10 can basically fly with an entire half of the plane missing

[alexm.]

The muzzle bursts on the A-10's in the video when you hear the brrrt is such a cool detail
1:42 2:20

[caiocesar]

2:19 the detail in the glasses when he locks the missile on the target is so cool

[UnknownOps]

"Warlock here, beginning strafe run."

"Firing now, take cover."

"Heh, look at that, they're trying to get me."

"Okay that's all I have, Good luck, Warlock out."

[sans]

Even 30 videos after my first comment (approximatively) I still can say you are very skilled and you are even improving, anyway keep going my man

[tommasobianchi]

"run trough the jungle" but you're running to the evac site
"Should I stay or should I go" but you're a British soldier being ambushed in Londonderry
"La victoire est a nous" but the Prussian have arrived at Waterloo

[shonkinatorr]

words can't describe how amazing this is

[whateverhappenshappens.]

Another amazing masterpiece keep up the good work man

[E-Brightvoid]

The A-10 pilots sound like they’re just taking a trip to the store.

[justdan]

The xtra audio just makes the songs sound better and the visual effects are an impressive detail. Keep up the good work.

[이름-hov]

The last "all friendlies ok, all friendlies ok. I'll make my exit, good luck" was pure 24k gold

[atomiccookiek]

That BRRRRTTT sound... nailed it as usual man 👌🏻

[LaikaTheG]

I just did a mission in DCS where in I circled for over an hour just slowly picking over Anti Air and armored targets. Now I get to listen to this masterpiece.

P.S. Keep up the good work. Whenever I want to spam music in Squad local I always come to these videos. And nice job getting the Scorpion HMD correct!

Everyone's talking about the incredible mixing and effects that you put into the background images. I'm over here admiring the detail in the Wojak. How the hell do you do that my guy?
