Okay the RAC I can follow, and the SRMs I can track as well, but why the medium lasers?
The real world A10 only has the 30mm Gatling Gun, no secondary guns are there.

Loiter time.
So long as it has fuel, it can still use the lasers to do damage.

The 5 is the heaviest that they get.
The only way I could do anything heavier would be a UAC/20.

Or a Gauss.

Guasses don't rapid-fire.

True, but the solid 15 point hit can do a lot damage to most targets...
An LBX 10 or 20 could be used as well.

I would go UAC20. Just for the fear factor.

| Ground Zero has a 75 tonner aerospace fighter called the Thunderbolt. No RAC, but it does mount an Ultra AC/10. It is listed in the armory at www.solaris7.com under the Ground Zero Salvage and Technology armory.

| I like the concept only there is one piece of fluff missing. When the rotary 5 is firing it slows to stall speeds like 4/6 or 5/8. I have seen the A-10 in flight at many air shows, it was a very intimidating plane at the heights that it flew.

I have seen it fire at ranges and once in Iraq. Intimidating is the key word...Seeing those and the Apaches along with Kiowas in the air made me breath easier on the different convoys and patrols.
