Self-sealing gas tanks don't work against API, which are specifically designed to penetrate and ignite the fuel in "self-sealing gas tanks." And the A-10 has two engines, but if it loses one, it's combat ineffective, particularly if it's on fire. Furthermore, the API will penetrate the titanium "tub" that the pilot sits in quite easily, not to mention the rest of the aircraft, which is filled with critical hydraulic systems and suchlike.Gawdzilla wrote:You love talking out of your ass, don't you?

What makes you think I'd be home? But yes, you're right. I'm not worried about Marxists having access to earth-to-orbit combat shuttles or nukes however. Mostly, around here, they don't even know how to fire a weapon, or even load one.Clinton Huxley wrote:If I was a Marxist, I'd nuke Seth's house from orbit. It's the only way to be sure, apparently.

You poor misguided fool,Pappa wrote:Seth, unions and employment rights are not the same thing as socialism. Employment law and rights exist (mostly) to protect the employee from unfair mistreatment. That's not socialism. Unions exist to give employees a collective voice when negotiating with employers. That's not socialism either.

Still not bringing it down in one shot. BTW, heard of nitrogen suppression systems? And the critical systems are redundant, so one shot won't take it out.

You old cynic you, you do know that to suppress the fire power from A-10s all you need is 4 or 5 guys like Seth with sniper rifles.Gawdzilla wrote:Still not bringing it down in one shot.

I went out there a lot from San Diego. I got to visit some target ranges for live fire exercises and once I got to sit in a 'Hog while they were sighting the GAU-8.
