Ok well i dont know about any manuals but i can tell you what i know about the A-10 and its tactics. First... its slow, ugly and mean as heck. Its slow but you can use that to your advantage in most cases. Trying to outrun a Mig-29 in full afterburner is not an option... Close the distance between you and the attacker and I'm talking about the missile that's fired, cause who cares what boris thinks, hes not the missile traveling at mach 3. You have plenty of flares and chaff so use em, look for the missle to get within the 1.5nm range then poop out some flares and bank until you get a nose bleed. but its all about timing, too early and the missile could re-acquire on you and kill you, too late and your a grease streak on some road... The A-10 is VERY VERY maneuverable but when your flying so close to the ground its a good idea to experiment with the planes banking and climbing capability at various speeds and weights. It ruins your day when the plane goes into a full stall at 300 feet...So i dont wanna eat up the Bandwidth of this LOVERLY site so if you wanna know more contact me at Culturelagging@hotmail.com I have a website with forums and such with a special section for things like this and ill add a LOMAC section too
