A-10 is curious plane, USAFboos consider it to be 8th wonder of the world, but in reality it’s a shitty plane that even the USAF themselves have not much illusion about, and know it’s mostly good for murdering people who aren’t armed in anything better than machine guns.
Which is exactly what piqued my interest. Normally I scoff at people cheering for bloodshed and destruction, but bursting the bubble of the “brrrt” myth might make me jolly for a few seconds

That is the target demographic of most US military operations, so it does make sense.

The A-10 and SU-24 are incredible and hard hitting planes that can take a beating and annihilate anything on the ground.
That is if you have total air superiority. If the enemy has ANY multirole or interceptor in the air, your CAS is toast.
Also you better pray your enemy doesn’t have any modern MANPADS
