A-10 Thunderbolt, or known as Warthog are the main close air support for United States of America before it was decommissioned in 2028. During the Balkan Annexation in 2020, A-10 Thunderbolt was send in to destroy the U.S.S.R ground forces before they overran the Balkan States. However, the A-10 only destroy ~300 of Russian vehicles and killed at least ~1,000 of their men with a capable mission success of 95%. The A-10 Thunderbolt is equipped with Laser Avenger Chain-gun and White Phosphorous bombs to combat against armor. A-10 Thunderbolt are surprisingly durable and tough, meaning they can withstand heavy damage before giving in.

Life: 900
Armor: Heavy Plating
Speed: 16
Firepower: 150 x 6 (Bombs)
Primary: White Phosphorous Bombs
Recharge Timer: 300 seconds.

It's light blue. I can't make it any lighter on the top surface, it is how RA2 engine does it to voxels.

On the side-note, I'm considering making this ability allow the player to manually control A-10 Thunderbolt for some close support.

Possibelly because of this is a Support Power not a buildable aircraft.

Where's the structure for it then? If it was me making the topic I'd have put the description and images on the parent structure as well.

According to the structure layout for this mod, Thunderbolt Airstrike can be acquire after you have built Allied Airpad.

Have you tested out if you can even control them? Unless you make them spawnable aircrafts that only have 1 set of ammo since they can't rearm in the airpad. Superweapon Spawned Aircraft in general cannot be selected. The Action being the thing that orders it to do something. (In this case attack that target location)

Will Spy Plane action=guard still allow A10 to attack anything in their guard range? It possibly gives me an idea for using this aircraft with unlimited ammo and is trainable.

Not really into your Cameos as the blueish voxels just blend into the background.

Nope. It only tells the spawned units to attack that target location. I.E: You order it to attack a Con Yard, It will expend all its ammo on the location where its the centermost.

The cameo is real blurry imho. Blue planes on a blue background makes it look like one blue blob Confused

I will figure out if I can make it selectable with superweapon. If not, probably it will be used for bombing run as support ability.

@Dartzo and Dutchy, what do you suggest changes for the cameos?

Look at RA3's and even Twisted Insurrections cameos you could get a better idea on how to make the cameo. As right now it looks quite obvious its just the voxel.

Either desaturate either remake the background. Best if it has some kind of grainy detail. Pure voxel based cameo shots could also look good.

You could also use a stroke instead of outer light to give contour to the unit.

Vord remade the cameo for this unit. What's your thoughts?
