Of the options on the Nexus - if you are calling you got problems on Terra Firma that require IMMEDIATE support. Stingray - it's an aerial refueling drone...... P80 - it's an Air to Air jet fighter...... Warthog - it's the KING of Ground Support......
TBH, nothing can beat the A-10. Even the sound is enough to make Super Mutants make involuntary bowel movements......
You forget the A-10s main purpose was to fight soviet fighters since it was a common thing to think that missiles were unreliable to use in fighter planes.
True, the a-10 loiter time and firepower would be better. Though I made this mod to solve 3 problems I had. 1. There was no a-10 settlement mod so I could stage an air force 2. If there was the a-10 would be a bit out of place on the Eden carrier 3. More lore friendly alternative for CAS gun support. The supersonic bomber is good for lore friendly bombing but I didn't see a gun on it :p
I don't even understand why would the USAF still use the A-10 over anything else. It's a proven waste of money. It's outdated for a fighter plane, It's main gun cannot actually take out tanks, It's main gun is dependant on rale metals, it's main gun cannot hit specific targets with precision thus making it an inviable infantry weapon and last the bullets don't go boom they go shhhhhhsssss and make flames.
Excuse me what? What are you talking about adonay? First off missiles weren't seen as "unreliable", pilots just depended on them too much and lacked the ability to fall back on dogfighting skills. But they corrected that quite quickly after Vietnam and on the other point... The A-10 was NEVER designed to battle Soviet jets. It was designed and built from the ground-up for it's role as a dedicated CAS aircraft. One it does outstandingly. You need to check your sources/facts desperately. Edit: Just read your last post as well. If you seriously think the A-10 is a waste of money then you clearly haven't talked to any soldiers that have called one in on multiple occasions to save their butts and were thankful that it was around. The A-10 is an essential CAS aircraft.
Really sketchy on the description. Guess I'll download it, and look for references in the comments that might lead me to more information on how this actually functions in-game. Looks cool though, may fit a certain scenario I had in mind, hard to tell from description page. Thanks for making this though.
No problem, sorry for the vague description. If you look up the A-10 it functions exactly the same way. You get a laser range finder, load it with it's specific ammo, and fire. A few seconds later the area is lit up with gun fire and jets scream overhead.
does this replace the aircraft model for the Stingray Air support addon ? wanted to change the stingray from the mod into a less futuristic aircraft, (there would be lots of old cold war aircraft that you could probably salvage in fallout universe) and unfortunately the only other model swapping mod that does this for the Stingray air support freezes the plane in mid air directly above the drop zone, making it look like a VTOL when it clearly isn't (the other model swap mod changes it into something similar to a CF-105, a cold war interceptor that isn't a VTOL for obvious reasons).
if it doesn't, it would be nice to have a stingray air support model swap with this if possible, even if it does do the weird freeze in place thing the other one does.
Yes this replaces the stingray model much in the same way the A-10 does. The AircraftStingRayDeluxe02 model had its nif file changed to work as its replacement. Not sure if it will work by simply loading this mod after the original or if you have to use BAE to unpack the original and replace it.
