awoogine my shark   the plane was designed in the 70s when ack-ack guns were the primary aa threat to low flying aircraft and soviet tank armor was made of cheese. it works fucking great in that environment. even the doofy tail disperses ir signature in a way that helped against missiles at the time. the modern version of what the a-10 was supposed to be would be an f-35 with a stealth gunpod for the new hypersonic sabot 20mm being worked on for the ac130 with a couple thousand rounds of ammo, some stormbreakers/sdbs, and a couple of aim-9x/aim-120c for self defense.
