I love the A-10...

[titanic3]

LOL .. missile as effective as gun

Apples and Oranges.

If yer lookin at a single target with range in miles, yes ..missile may be a good option, especially if target is above you.

If yer screamin down a valley suckin baby birds from their nests lookin for love I'll take a gun any day.

I'll take rocket pods .

I'd take the A-10 CAS over missile capable A/C CAS in almost any situation.
A-10 can make multiple bomb/ gun runs in much less time than missile capable A/C

     Just FYI, the A-10 is missile capable, one of it's most effective weapons in Desert Storm was the AGM-65 Maverick.

Gentlemen, question to those who served. How often do you actually see the enemy? In every video solders just spraying in general direction. Is it a common practise?

What "every video"?

[Grayeagle]

thing about 'seeing the enemy' in a video ..
..if you can see them.. they can put rounds into you.

Most cameras/users just are not capable of picking out the guy facing you from any kind of distance..
..especially in a fire zone where 'duck an cover' has a whole nuther meaning.
Plus .. a couple bullets snap by and impact close and all of a sudden 'focus' and 'depth of field'
for the camera just are not the priority .. yanno?

Its always hard to see. We spray because its easier to blanket an area. If theyre hiding, theyre not shoting back. But im not a door kicker. For my buddies who are/were its very different

Yeah, I should've said "other" missile capable A/C. But, I'm not talking CAS for a tank that's 1000 meters away anyway.
I'm talking CAS for enemy troops at danger close
