Update for the A-10C Guide: "Tank Killer" Expansion
Added 2020-11-11 12:11:03 +0000 UTCHi folks!
The A-10C II "Tank Killer" Expansion update to the Warthog guide is now live! The ARC-210 V/UHF radio is still not implemented by Eagle Dynamics, so I'll add it in when it's ready. Throughout the guide, you will see certain sections that refer to the A-10C “Legacy” and A-10C II “Tank Killer” versions. The “Legacy” is the original version of the DCS A-10 released back in 2011. An expansion to the module was released in 2020, which includes new weapons, a Helmet-Mounted Cueing System (HMCS), a new 3D model, new HOTAS functions and various improvements to different systems across the board. Green and red tags specify whether a section is applicable exclusively to a version, and the absence of a tag means that the section is applicable to either version.

- Functions grouped by "Legacy" vs "Tank Killer" variants
