A-10 Thunderbolt II

The A-10A Thunderbolt II is a close air support attacker jet that is featured in Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction and Mercenaries 2: World in Flames.

Overview
In Mercenaries the A-10 is responsible for delivering the Cluster Bomb, the Tank Buster and the Laser-Guided Missile. The A-10A is obviously owned and operated by the Allied Nations, as can be deduced from the pilots' accent and tone of voice.

Locations
It can often be seen flying overhead on patrol in the Southern Province above the region between the Demilitarized Zone and the Propaganda Village, either by itself or in groups of two or three.

Overview
In Mercenaries 2, Allied Nations A-10s occasionally do flybys at low enough altitude to be able to clearly distinguish the aircraft type. They deliver the Tank Buster airstrike as well as the UP tank attack.

Real Life
The in-game A-10 is based on the real A-10 Thunderbolt II, an attacker jet utilised by the United States Air Force.
