A-10 Tank Killer 2: Silent Thunder
PC

Hints

Anti-missile Strategies:

When being followed by an IR missile, drop flares and bring you are engines as low as you feel comfortable (around 2).

Multi-purpose Chaffs:

Sometimes dropping chaffs when being pursued by a plain can scramble their radar, delaying their firing time.

Fly The Training Mission:

In training, no one shoots at you, and you get the opportunity to attack a variety of targets. It is a good chance to hone your weapons skills. You can also create a custom load out and test the effectiveness of different weapons in a safe environment.

Learn Your Weapons:

Different weapons have different advantages. If all you ever use are Mavericks and Sidewinders, you will be missing half of the fun.

Stay Low:

SAM radar cannot pick you up through hills or mountains. The lower you fly, the closer they must be to detect you and the shorter time they have to fire.

Get Ready:

When making an attack on a target, select your ordnance in advance; you may not have time when the fur is flying. Use your Avenger for those quick shots in order to avoid having to change selected
weapons.

Sometimes, Slow Is Good:

Slowing down over a target may seem like asking for trouble, but sometimes going a bit slower may let you hit all of your targets in one pass and avoid the need to fly back over the target, actually lowering the time you spend in the enemy's sights.

Do not Be Ashamed To Run:

Helicopters are more maneuverable than you, but slower. Dashing away can sometimes allow you to reposition and bring Sidewinders to bear without being blown out of the sky.
