Again up thread: my “boots on the ground” friends *love* the sound of an A-10 providing CAS (close air support). Brrrrr. That 20mm cannon makes a mess of the bad guys.

The A-10 is not so much of a hard to kill plane with an auto cannon. It’s a hard to kill auto cannon with wings.

Actually think it is now a 30mm auto cannon. My bad.
