I've seen pics of A10's launching missiles, but don't you guys think it would be cool if we could use the A10's cannon on a gun run, but here's the catch. Since the graphics are so intensely awesome, have the cannon be animated, so we could see the barrel actually turning, as the first rounds hit the ground near the target, the particle effects should show like dirt, ground, heck even concrete kicking up as it gets closer to its target, to finally blow its target away!
What do you think, say i?!

Yeah, finally someone who agrees. My point in bringing this up is that the developers are using some intense graphics and are requiring the next generation video card, etc , it seems. Well if you're going to do something like that besides showing incredibly detailed architecture in the buildings, which I APPLAUD, I think they should take advantage and make the weapons as realistic as possible. Especially if these aren't going to be buildable aircraft, which I think they won't be.

Having the A-10s use their guns on strafing runs is also realistic. The giant high powered machine guns (cannons really) on the A-10s do some of the heaviest damage to enemy tanks, and infantry. The cannon's firepower is so heavy, the guns literally smoke when used.
Do you mean that the A-10 would use both rockets and guns at the same time. Or do you mean you could select 1 of 2 different stike run options. one stike with rockets and another with just guns. I think it would be sweet if you could select the 1 of 2 options or even better if you could select 1 of the 3 depending on the situation and most defenely for the looks.
If this is what you mean? Then I .

No dudes, listen up, rockets on A-10s suck. Thats in generals already and Im tired of that, CLUSTER BOMBS own. Have any of you played the mod called "An act of war" for C&C Generals? You should check it out, this is a great mod. They had really good moddlers, skinners, and coders, everything is soo sweet in this mod. A-10s drop cluster bombs and the effects are awsome. CHECK IT OUT! http://www.derelictstudios.net/aaow/

Yeah, I hope that the A10's give you an option, using your gun or using not rockets, but missiles. AGM-65 MAVERICK missiles to be more exact.

If they are shooting to be realistic, you can forget the clusters. A-10s, realistically, should go on a run firing a mix of machine gun and rockets. In other words, the A-10 would fly across the map from wherever it starts from targeting enemies with missiles first most likely (the missiles are more powerful) and when it runs out of missiles, to fire machine guns (cannons really) at enemies.

Really the A-10 could have all these features, its up to you guys to give the developers some ideas on how to implement your input and have it work so poeple won't use it to cheese up the gameplay.

It would indeed totally throw off the balance, I know that and therefore don't expect it. It would just be cool.
one things I want to see is things like dust and cripe falling from where a machine gun is battering a wall, say a machine gun, 50cal., is skimming over or firing at a wall, i wanna see dust and bits of concrete dropping from there, it would looks so cool.
oh and 'I'
I really hope that the A10s use their cannons (30mm gun that can shoot either armour piercing or HE rounds) along with missles. The cannons are to cool.

They obviously will unload all of the payload, thus chaingun rounds+missiles. Just think about it, what sense it makes to send a bomber to shoot at infantry squad with a chain gun when it can blow the **** out of entire block. Maybe on the way back after all missiles launched and target been decimated it can engage some infantry with chaingun if they have been so unlucky to appear on A10 path back home.

the A10 is way to un accurte.as I3ag_OF_I3ones said,the chine gun(better to say canon,) can devestate the whole block.it's not an "american" action.it will not only kill the target,but also all things around it.more info about the JAU-8 avenger:

The A10 is a close air support aircraft, so its weapons will be ideal for chewing tanks and other combat vehicles up. It can also handle general ground attack.

I don't want to detract attention from what shaping up to be an awesome RTS game, but you guys have to take a look at this video. DOWNLOAD it and you'll see that the guys at Cold War Crisis mod have implemented what I hoping the guys at AOW do for the A10. You'll see in the vid towards the end that the A10 does a missile and gun strafing run and you'll see dirt kick up as the rounds are flying.
Also a big plus, check out the texture detail on the missiles. The Apache is actually firing HELLFIRE missiles. Google it and you'll see these guys know what detail means. Likewise with the A10's Maverick missiles.:bounce:
BTW, if you don't have a DIVX player, you'll have to download it to see this video since it's in AVI format, which Windows Media player or Realaudio do not play it.:tup:
