yep...AND the forum on yuplay is open as well.

you can fly an A-10 thunderbolt ( warthog )...oh..now i am stoked! that would make for some awesome online combat games!

god i certainly hope so! way in the back of my mind i was thinking it would been cool if it would have been incorporated into the game but figured there was no stinking way. i about fell over when i saw it on the list. can you imagine the low level hide and seek dogfights? sweet!

lol this has now got me praying for an AV8B or Harrier GR.7/9

hope they have add on a/c like the p47 and ta152 in BoP. i just really hope they dont F this up...

I cant see the A10 being flyable in game to be honest (sorry guys), after all its a heli sim so wouldnt really fit in. Im guessing you can possibly fly other helicopters and call in an A10 airstrike perhaps? but the flying physics between helicopter and plane would be to much effort to put into the game if that makes sense? I just think it will stay as helicopters only.

Can you imagine online, a blackhawk v A10!!

hahaha

On a lighter note, its good to see on the official website under "aircraft" the apache you fly is the british version

(or one of many you fly)

Don't forget flying physics for planes already existed from BoP. Stick a couple of jet engines into the Il-2 and you'd get a reasonably good A-10 or Su-25 model. Take the He-162, give it a modern engine, add a function to switch to helicopter flight physics, and you have a Harrier

I think people are setting their hopes way too high if they think an A-10 will be flyable in this. None of the media so far has even said other helos, apart from Apache variants, are playable let alone a fixedwing jet.

I think the most we can hope for is Blackhawk/Hind/Ka 50 either patched in or as DLC.

The Mi-35 is listed in the aircraft list. Its an export version, so I wouldn't feel comfortable flying it ever.
