The USAF A-10 Thunderbolt II aka the "Warthog" Tank Buster. One of the uglist planes ever developed, hence the name warthog. Despite its ugly looks, its one of the deadlist planes ever developed. On the nose, The 30mm 6 barrel Vulcan cannon with armour piercing shells, can do a tank in with only a few hits. Hence the second nickname, "Tank Buster". Along with the 30mm, it can also carry a wide variety of smart and dumb bombs, as well as anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles. The white missiles you see in the undercarriage are the AGM-65 Maverick missile, an guided anti-tank missile. Those are fun and will make a whole lotta dead.
