0 Service Ceiling Note: 45,000

0 Operational Range Note: 800 Miles

0 Bomb/Stores Load Note: 16,000 pounds on 8 wing and 3 fuselage hardpointsSome general pylon notes include munition-loading restrictions along hardpoints 1 and 11 as well as 5 and 7. No munitions may be carried on 5 and 7 while 1 and 11 are limited by way of only using drop munitions (no forward firing missiles allowed). Hardpoints 4 and 8 are "plumbed" to accept 600-gallon fuel tanks. The fuel tanks are the same as those used by the General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark swing-wing bomber but most A-10 pictures rarely showcase the extra fuel load. An outboard hardpoint is also generally reserved for the carrying of jammer pods in modern A-10 functions.

Limitations and Disads

20 1) Distinctive Features: Nicknamed "The Devils Cross" (Not Concealable; Extreme Reaction; Detectable By Commonly-Used Senses; Not Distinctive In Some Cultures)

257 Experience Points

I'm not sure 5d6 is the right amount of damage for the GAU-8. That's a full die more than mortar damage' date=' is it not? It also seems as though it deserves AP or Explosion depending on the ammo load.[/quote']

 

The GAU-8 is a 30mm gatling gun firing depleted-uranium shells. It's designed to shoot through (the top armor of) tanks. It has AP. I would have modeled it as AP, AF5, AoE: Radius (it sprays a lot of ammo, hitting everything around the aim point), but AF10 is a workable interpretation.

That gun can fire more than one type of ammunition. It's usually loaded with HE in Afghanistan, not the depleted uranium stuff. I'd probably still give it AP though, and give the uranium multiples of AP and penetrating.

Re: Shadowcats Vehicular Insanity Shop: A-10C Warthog

 

I'm not good with vehicle rules, but...

Strength 10.

16,000 pounds of external ordinance.

How is the plane going to lift 8 tons with a 10 Str?

(or is there a vehicle rules loophole I'm unaware of?)

I think the wrong character template was used by mistake. It has INT, PRE, EGO, and COM, but no SIZE or DEF.
