Why is the A-10 receiving friendly fire from the M1A1?
Advanced indirect fire deflection tactics, they've trained for this don't worry
This is actually a thing - AV (and several other loitering munition manufacturers) experimented with what they were calling "daycare mode" (no, really. Fuck I hate them), where ground formations could fire a bunch of (ex: switchblades) off, then control would be taken over by CAS for transit my-ship-is-dragging-mines-style out of range of the base station to the target area for terminal control. It worked pretty well, might even be deployed now, but it was a surprisingly hard sell for the A-10 pilots whose job was to fly low & slow through an area picking up digital tethers while a bunch of jarheads aimlessly fired missiles into their flight path.
I'm sure lots of people were surprised.
Blue on blue is the A-10’s natural environment.
Yeah, but the A-10 is usually the blue, not the blue!
Because its a hog for it
That's an assist.
Who gets the kill? The player who threw the ball, or the last player to touch it?
