Story idea time!

Discussion

Here's a story idea that someone could run with:

After the dust of war has settled, the conquering army usually takes an inventory of what the opposition had fielded, what they lost, etc. With the vast differences between the many armed forces on the planet, as well as the 'undesirable' nature of the assignment, this process could take many years to ensure that an armed force like the United States isn't hiding a tank division in a desert somewhere.

So imagine the reaction when some Major in a dead end career posting finds a platform like an A-10 and realises that it is nothing more than a 30mm cannon with wings and engines!

TL : DR ... Gun go Brrrrt, Marine goes 'We can use that!'

Can you imagine trying to make the Russian numbers on paper jive with material on the ground?

I think I trust the Chinese garbage more than Russian trash that has been rotting in some field for decades.

The at 10 would not get far it is definitely not meant for hostile air space with fighter that can go m7 in atmosphere and have the firepower to destroy an aircraft carrier

A a10 would absolutely useless after the invasion if you think a flying bus going slow than a p51 is going to last long you are an absolutely stupid

If it get detected but the ac 130 could probably fake being a cargo plane

If there is just one fighter on the planet it will get to the at10 in a matter of minutes

And I am going to give you my stupid idea is to rip the 30 mm off the a10 make a basic mount and load into a 18 wheeler trailer bring it out side the purple district and light up the gates guards

Icy_Option_8278•

And then make a run for it

2
Icy_Option_8278•

Maybe some one could make one where some human over 8 foot male joins the shil armed force just imagine the reaction of the drill instructor

They have laser weapons speed of light so no need to lead so each one of the marines are a anti aircraft battery
