    New Army Badge

    If you did something from 1869 to 1949 that obviously makes it more important than what you did from 1949 to 2026, the 3 year difference is critical.

    New Army Badge

    the Commonwealth Prime Ministers Conference decided to drop the title of Dominion in 1949. That supersedes the 1867 act. Its been moved on from, is no longer in use, and holds 0 meaning legally or culturally.

    New Army Badge

    "Dominion" has be scrapped from Federal law since 1951 and it stopped being relevant in 1931. The last piece of it all died with Canada Day was officially renamed in 1982. It doesnt appear in law, or the constituation here or in Britain. The UK refers to Canada as a Realm of the Commonwealth.

    A-10 Warthog

    Sorry this is a deeply flawed comment. Youre conflating Air to Air munitions and Air to Ground. A-10s are flying without their self defence load of AIM9s. You probably aren't flying air AI or CAS if youre so short of air to air weapons that you can't fly DCA or OCA missions. Similarly the use...

    A-10 Warthog

    If we he have a high enough threat environment to worry about the A10s being shot out of the sky for lack of countermeasures i sincerely doubt a rotor is going to stay flying for very long on the FLOT. Since no gunship MV-75 is in development, US Army wants two distinct platforms, thats a non...

    A-10 Warthog

    So far 1, but they were the most shot down aircraft in the Gulf War. To which i provided examples very much against. Thats youre experience, not a fact. Im fairly positive i work with a wider variety of pilot communities, especially fighters, than most people on this site. Love of their...

    A-10 Warthog

    What you actually said was pilots hate it. Then said essentially that all pilots love third machines. If you'd written what you just did I'd agree, but you didn't.

    A-10 Warthog

    Provide me an example ! Provides examples No a more specific example to reaches my new goal post! Im obviously not going to get into specific aircraft capabilities and why some pilots prefer x or y on an open board. This isnt Warthunder.

    A-10 Warthog

    CF18 pilots, former A10 guys on F35, Griffin pilots, Cyclone Pilots... the Hungarians weren't huge Gripen fans. Oh uh the Poles didnt like any of their soviet helos.

    A-10 Warthog

    You've obviously never met an A10 pilot, or a former one. I expect they prefer hearing a helicopter. Bit of a different role though, OV 10s controlled CSAR so you knew the mission was happening.

    In my experience they don't include air craft meals in claims. Since none of the domestics offer them anymore its jusr not a thing. Now hotel breakfasts on the other hand

    A-10 Warthog

    F16s are the most available platform in the US. The 6k vs 8k operating costs is probably offset by cross platform requirements and "survivable" isnt a suitably defined term, infact twice as many A10s were lost in the Gulf War as F16s. Youre making the fundamental nerd error where you assume...
