the Fighting Seabee Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=6db_1199237696 I would love to hear the sound of the a10 gun going off in game, especially if it's that loud, echoey sound that really makes you say "holy crap". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerF Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Here try this A-10 video. If you want a close call try this. A-10 Close Call 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Folks, it doesn't check much closer than this for A-10 close air support. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZ-pdvirHDQ&feature=related 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 For the vids that worked, starting with the first one--wow, especially the last one! TylerF and J_Toe, your vids aren't coming up, and the LiveLeak error message is so tiny I almost didn't see it. Sure hope they're not using DU anymore in either country. I like the idea of a sound mod. As we've seen, though, it's like modeling the 88. First the target gets clobbered, then we hear the sounds of firing.

Other Means Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 The quotes at the end of this are quite good. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=59885_4207 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Here's that video that J_Toe posted earlier, but which is no longer on liveleak. Always risky calling in CAS, apparently this A-10 drifted a bit on it's attack run, or they called it in too close for comfort. Thank God our English friends were ok, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Other Means, This proves we need a colorful language mod. Purely for autheticity's sake! Lee, There's one case I've read of in which friendlies got strafed by an A-10, and a guy was actually inside the pattern and lived, being merely scuffed a bit by flying debris. Talk about lucky!

Lee Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Whoa, talk about a close call! That guy must have been scared witless! Glad to hear he was alright. Here's what happens when an A-10 hits a terrorist building. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Iz5MwPsfyo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Lee, Here's another such event. See "Friendly Fire" here. Wouldn't have wanted to go through it, but I think it was relatively safer than the example I cited. http://personal.georgiasouthern.edu/~etmcmull/BRENDEN.htm As for your vid, hard to do BDA with so much dust in the air. Any footage after the dust cleared? Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius359au Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Nightvision video of an A10 strike - note the IR laser painting the target http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH3KwnBeLPw&feature=related And to think the USAF was thinking of mothballing the A10's 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Yeah, love that laser at night, very cool. I wish some of these videos were available in higher res. John Kettler: Don't know of any footage after the smoke clears, but I think it's safe to say the terrorists in there got nailed. Check out this video of an A-10 pilot doing an insanely low pass over some of our guys. haha 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius359au Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 hehe ,good way to make sure the badguys can't shoot off a missile at you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Here's some more cool air strike footage. The first is a building or several buildings in Iraq where terrorists were hiding out in. Apparently 4 500 lb. bombs and 6 2,000 pounders were dropped on them by F-18's. Two of the big ones didn't go off, though. One of the videos is a practice CAS run in a MH-53M Pave Low IV chopper at night with miniguns and Browning .50 cal (in Iraq, I think). The other chopper video is actually a Blackhawk (MH-60L DAP gunship variant) attacking terrorists in Iraq with miniguns, 30mm cannon and rockets at night. Very cool video, this version of the Blackhawk owns! The title is wrong, it's a Blackhawk. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr7sjDOdMO4 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1A1TC Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 So could we have aircaft sounds added in 1.10 patch? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Yeah, it would be great for CM II to have accurate aircraft engine and weapons sounds (real audio samples) like those heard in these actual combat videos whenever possible for air strike missions. Fortunately, this would be a simple matter. Just play the appropriate sounds when the aircraft are making their attack runs. Hopefully this will be added soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-E Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Is this abuse? No! Seems to be an argument clinic. I assume abuse is down the hall (I was a bit confused by Yankeedog's "please spank me post"). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodkin Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I wish the rockets were that accurate in game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Fighting Seabee Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I think I remember one of the patches was supposed to 'fix' that, or at least make them much more accurate. Still though, the drunken shotgun of the gods tends to spray all the way across the map. If I called in close air support and got that rocket barrage, I'd be pretty upset. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHuNT Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Originally posted by Lee: Here's a video of some stupid terrorists coming back to get an RPG to fire at one of our Bradley's after the Bradley crew has already fired on them just seconds before in the exact same alley. Even by pathetic terrorist standards, these guys are retarded. haha //// I guess next we'll have someone come on here and try to lecture U.S. soldiers in combat on how they should be more sensitive to the feelings of terrorists and not mock them after shooting them... [Roll Eyes] I think you miss the point entirely...... "Even by pathetic terrorist standards...?" W-T-F? They're fighting against massive technology, firepower, resource and generally training advantages. With all those things against them they still fight, nothing pathetic about that or them. For the most part they're dangerous mutha'FluFFers, fighting a thousand pound guerrilla any way they can, who you definitely underestimate at your own peril. Yep, the insurgents in that video you posted may have been stupid re-entering a field of fire in darkness like that in such a nonchalant way ..... on the other hand they were willing to risk their life to retrieve that RPG, which was probably quite an asset to them. Your statement is naive in the extreme. I really hope your just a 13 year old hooyaa' and not an adult with such a myopic, unthinking perspective. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool breeze Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 there are lots of RPGs in Iraq.. They were stupid to go back to where they were just shot at whatever way you look at it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandur Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 there are lots of RPGs in Iraq.. there is lot of money in the west, but all belongs to someone. you cant just take it and it doesnt grow in trees. same with RPG´s in iraq, there are many but also many owners i suspect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thrust of my point was to do with his 'Fox News' perception of the insurgents/terrorists. And remember...... One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 KHuNT: Yeah, and according to some people Osama bin Laden is a great guy. So what, we're supposed to take idiots like that seriously?? There are always those who will support evil, or excuse it in some way. I'm not one of them, I have no lack of moral clarity on this topic. And I have no sympathy whatsoever for those that support, aid or actively participate in islamic terrorist groups, activities, funding, planning, etc. They are our enemies, period. And for the record, those terrorists that went back for that RPG *were* stupid, really stupid. That's why our soldiers were laughing at them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
