BRRRRRAAAAT!

Anybody noticed the new sound from the gun in the A10 from 2.5.4?

 

Pretty badass! You can hear the airframe resonating from the gattling gun :punk:

 

So now, it's not so much BRRRRT anymore, sounds to me like BRRRRAAAAAT!

Looking forward to hearing it. I have a question related to the gun:

 

When watching some YouTube videos, I see that when people fire the gun, the pipper stays on the target. However, when I fire the gun, there is a kick and the nose pitches up slightly. I have the PAC active. What gives? Were those videos from an old version? I can’t give more than a 1/2 second burst of rounds before I’m completely missing the target.

Make sure you have enough speed for the PAC to be effective. Strongharm has a good training mission that talks about all this- speed, pitch angle, and target angle

I think even above 300kts if you can

Yep ^

 

If you're sure PAC is working, add speed and dive.

Has anyone noticed the GAU-8 seems to have more killing power? MIGHT be my imagination but I have been getting Tanks in one pass the last couple of days verses 2-3 passes previously.

i personally dont like the new sound :/

That must be it. I would always slow down and add speed brakes to maximize my time for shooting. I’ll have to speed it up! Thanks.

Speed brakes disables the PAC system, the speed, not so much unless you would go very very slow, 30 deg is where you want to be as it redirects the recoil force through the airframe, maximizes the effectiveness of the rounds while providing the longest aiming and firing time, any steeper than that will yield marginal stability to the cost of aiming and firing time and a trickier egress from you run

Slow target = easy target ;)

A lot of people use the Warthog stick, which has a dual stage trigger. The first stage of this trigger stabilizes the aircraft using PAC, second stage fires. This makes for a much more stable gun.

Don't use speedbrakes for gun runs (or any other attack, for that matter).

 

While slow speed gives you more time to aim, it also gives the bad guys more time for flight path prediction and unauthorized installation of 23 mm holes. :D

 

Kidding aside, real pilots invest a lot of training time into roll-ins and gun runs. If you look at HUD videos from gun runs in Afghanistan, it's like roll-in, correct, fire, off, all within a matter of seconds. And it's really about minimizing the time spent on a predictable flight path, because at that moment the aircraft will be relatively low and the defenders are most likely to take a shot.

I like all the new sounds.

 

OT

Yurgon says well, never use speedbrakes during dive.

Focus your attention to the roll-in speed and altitude at the apex in order to have the right tracking time and the right speed when perform the weapon release.

Would you mind sharing any sources regarding these techniques specifically for the A10's gun?
