Er, my whole point was that the A-10 isn't particularly good at
shooting down other auircraft. (But IIRC an A-10 once shot down a
helicopter).

On the other hand, in some exercises a couple of decades back, A-10s did
very well versus F-15s as long as they kept things down near the ground.
Hiding in the weeds kept the long-range missiles out of the equation,
and once they got into gun range, they broke even.

I wouldn't try that with the more modern radars currently on the F-15.
Fast mort.
