This is the A-10's advantage indeed. I don't know the specs of soviet tanks exactly but I know it has a vertical elevation limit on it's main gun so attacking it from the air is preferred. That 30 mm gatling gun is BA also.

The sight package on our Abrams is pretty advanced so that we can see them first. The Abrams can carry more "big" bullets than the A-10 so there's that.

Overall, I'm glad the A-10's are on our side.

Good post Rob
