Smart bombs are a thing my friend. Especially the Small Diameter Bomb which is a handy tool for CAS

Watch as a B-52 takes out a Taliban training camp in Afghanistan
Earlier in the week, the Air Force released video of a B-52’s airstrike against a Taliban drug lab; now, here’s what the Air Forces says is a B-52 airstrike against a Taliban training camp.

I don't want to be near that.

That's mutiple bombs being dropped in close proximity to each other and presumably rather large ones at that. I rather suspect they use far smaller ones when doing CAS.Uh huh.

Also I ran into an interesting fact the B-1 has dropped more ordnance in the CAS role this century than any other aircraft in the inventory
You have to remember the last time I saw a B-52 in action was 28 years ago. So my experience of them does not line up with precision.

Speaking of A-10s i found this cool A-10 variant from Arma

Fair enough they've had a lot of upgrades since then of course heck they might finally get new engines

All this talk of warplanes, and you've yet to bring up the most beautiful of them all.
Here's some ASMR to go with it, you disgusting yanks.

Now a fictional flying wing design.

Kinda reminds of the Flying wing prototype from the late 1940s.Sadly that won't be in the cards...

Norton and the Hortons (hey, that rhymes!) were some of the more mad genius type aircraft engineers of their day. The odd thing with the wing design is that at a certain point, you can't stall unless you purposely get them in rather specific circumstances, note that both were playing with all-wing designs since the 1930s.
Norton's personal attempts at all-wing designs given us this thing:
Lost out to the more conventional competition but all the weird shenanigans that happened during testing actually got a Congressional Inquiry to look into it, while from what I've heard nothing was concrete but there are rumors that sabotage was a theory that was being passed around with some of its more peculiar incidents like a landing gear mysteriously snapping while taxying...

Yeah, turns out the B-2 design aint all that new.Norton and the Hortons (hey, that rhymes!) were some of the more mad genius type aircraft engineers of their day.

Eh, the basic design wasn't but everything else was oddly enough. Fly-by-wire, computer-based aviation control, the stealth systems, all of that came together in this case.
So heartwarming! Won't see these stories on that Dodo Youtube channel.
Everytime I see her and how in love she is with militr=ary equipment I get jealous every time!

Funny thing with that, the Nazis also thought it wouldn't fly, and then when BV showed it off they were scratching their heads.I love the BV 141, because it's just so weird looking for a plane.
Something that asymetrical should not be able to fly.

The Fw-189 'Owl'. Also known as the 'Flying Eye' or 'Glasshouse'. One of the premier dedicated recon aircraft of the war, usually used in medium and long-range recon missions on the Eastern Front. In all honesty, I haven't seen Steel Battalion 2 show this magnificent bird around as a spotter aircraft...
