GAU-8

I like both but it is way easier when you have a laser guided rocket.

Cannon and unguided rockets. A10 = Cannon win. SU-25 = OMG The awesome best thing ever 128 rockets!

I like laser guided munitions also, but since I should be able to fire them myself, I don´t like them. Also, I never really get to use them. For the same reason supertimo said.

it really depends on the team, on a PR round, guided is always safer and easier for both the pilot as his spotter, i mean, "I GOT LOCK" "FUSH" "boom". and that from 700m abouve the target, above everything, they cant see shit xD

i never really liked strafing the targets, its not very PRish rewarding, and the strange jet flies as if it were rockets, it doesnt change anything if you make a barrel roll! you can even fly the whole round upside down if you want! thats my jet critism.

IE, the gau8 rocks, but its extemely unbalanced vs mecs who dont have a such devestating (and long time whitout reload ) WEAPON.

also i whis the frogfoot whould fire 10-15 missile bursts. or even better automatic... plz.

On topic, what do people tend to use their hydra for on the A-10? I can't really think of a use for them unless they have a fair bit more splash then the GAU-8, in which case they could be good for slightly spread infantry, or just to ensure that you blow up a tank a little quicker if an area isn't very safe.

Just remove them. Put in some more gun ammo.

From a ground pounder's point of view, theres nothing more satisfying than lazing enemy tanks and watching them blow up in the horizon by friendly air assets.

LGM's definitely. nothings more satisfying than firing a rocket at a laser designator and hearing your spotter say "tank down" or something of the sort.

lol crack shot i got that same feeling here lol.

Firing laser missiles anyone can do. Lock and press a button. Gunning takes some more skill though. And to put it in perspective...

LGM's = 2x bombs, 4x missiles = 6 targets
A-10 gun @ 50 rounds a target = 10 targets

That says it all.
