I'm sure those Viper pilots won't make that mistake again.
There's really no excuse for them to think that they could out Rate a slower A10 when they themselves are going fast.
hell anybody in DCS already knows not to try turning with an A10 and simply extend, get high, into the sun, and then come down to pick the bones clean on that A10..
an A10 can't follow and cannot defend against that. Sitting duck.
So if amateur civvies know it, a half decent actual Viper pilot should too.
Fighter Pilot Rule, above all don't look bad
Getting shot down by an A10 is pretty bad looking
