The A10 seems to have the chin cannon p[lus 1 on each wing, as well as large bombs (clusters?). EA have said rocket pods. See here:

Not sure where the other two are. If you mean the two larger "pods" that are close to the fuselage, then those are for the landing gear...

See here: Although on reflection, those might be rocket pods.

The little cylinders more to the outside are rocket pods (probably the same rocket spread as the Hind...ugh).

What I find more interesting is that it will be able to destroy sections of highway?

Only thing I hope is that EA/DICE make it an A-10, not just another plane.
I don't care if it's shot down more easily, or has too much armor, or whatever, as long as players find it more effective for strafing and not bombing.
I'll second that, I'll be happy as long as it's distinctively a ground-attack aircraft.  Most importantly, the gun needs to be effective against armour, otherwise where's the point in implementing the plane in the first place?

I'm kinda curious what the other countries ground-attack planes will be, too.
I think the Harrier, not sure what else.

J-10......23mm

It's the depleated uranium rounds in the A-10 that do the damage.
but for balence they made them all do the same damage(aka a 20mm) also the A10 fires 1 depleted uranium round in every 5, the other 4 are High Explosive Incendery and u have 2 remeber the rate of fire which the A10 fires MUCH faster then any of the fighter planes

If the A-10 is anything like its RL counterpart, that cannon on the front will tear through tanks like butter (and will have to do a lot more damage then the Su-30 anf F15 guns), but will overheat quickly, and the plane itself will be much slower than even the f15, so as to make it more vulnerable to aa fire and other jets.  For balance they may also make the gun more innaccurate

They need to make it twice as strong as the J-10 and half as fast. Massive cannon fire power much like the cannon on the havok.

I have a friend who is Vietnamese and he has no trouble pronouncing his "L"s so you would be wrong anyway.

Negative. C-130 is the only thing that has dropped it, although a C-17 could pull it off.

The M-61 Vulcan fires at 6000 rounds per min ( 100 per sec )
The GAU-8 fires at 4200 rounds per min (70 per sec). interesting note at range of 1 mile 80% of rounds land 30 ft diameter target. As little as 6 hits will destroy a tank.

EDIT

F-15 940 rounds
F-18

SU-34 fires at 1500 rounds per min
MiG-29 ditto
SU-30 ditto

each of these have 150 rounds

F-35 normal 3600 rounds per min with a max of 4200. 180 rounds

...back to the A-10

I heard EA/DICE preaching about the addition of rocket pods and cluster bombs

I have seen a set of rocket pods on the A-10, one on each outer pylon...but have never seen any cluster bombs on any of the new aircraft

For EA the big thing is balance...if not the A-10 would tear a tank apart in one pass and rape an APC out of its mind

I believe that all of the attack aircraft will have their own strengths and weaknesses, for example:

Su-39=Faster and more manueverable than the A-10 in real life, probably better at Air-Air

A-10=Built very tough and rugged, high survivability+THE GUN:)

Q-5=Although very old and no real advantages in real life, maybe EA will make it's strong point be ease of use?

...So all of them will be balanced out against each other in some way or another

As for armament, each will probably carry 2 or 4 bombs plus a rocket pod on each outer pylon plus their gun(Advantage goes to A-10 I hope)

So all in all, each new attack aircraft will be balanced out in some way or another, which EA likes because noobs don't start complaining right when the expansion pack comes out...but we all know they will eventually:(

I believe only the MC-130 can.

What I hope the A-10 will have:

-A deadly cannon that will obliterate anything in its path

-Very good maneuverability but low speed (IRL it can turn tighter than an F-15)

-AGM-65 Mavericks (their lockon system could be similar to that of the A2A missiles)

-Bombs

-Rocket pods

What it will probably have:

-Lame cannon that does slightly more damage than the normal jets

-Lame maneuverability AND speed

-Bombs, those rocket pods are for decoration (like the missiles on the combat helos, that no matter how many TV missiles you fire they sit there motionless)
