Please, lets see your calculations on this problem.

Some people confuse descent with acceleration. A mere constant-rate
descent (apprx. zero net force) does nothing to change the analysis.


You lack the ability to change real life application into a physics
problem.

If you have your engines set to hold constant speed in level flight,
then push over into descent, what happens to your speed?

Case closed. Now you can use some of that acceleration into pushing
against the guns.

Everyone seems to forget that the guns on an A-10 are only used in 2 to
4 second bursts, most of the time, with the pilot constantly climbing
and diving and turning. To do otherwise while in a combat situation
would invite being shot down. Nobody in these conditions are going to
be jerking the throttle all over the place, or worrying about brief
speed excursions- from the maneuvers, or shooting the guns.
