This one is also amazing and scary at the same time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4zm5duK3hY

The cannons on the A-10 sounds like an angry bull.

Thanks for these. I had never heard it before.

It sounds like two-three main sounds. There's a snappy one, then a grunty one, then a crackly one.

Is the snappy the bombs exploding reaching, the grunty the gun sounds reaching the mic and the crackly one some kind of secondary explosion?

Crack is the supersonic crack of the round, then explosion of the round when it hits the ground and the "brrrr" is the sound of the propellent gases leaving the barrel of the gun.

The rounds are supersonic, so the first sound you hear is the sound of the rounds hitting the target, then you hear the sound of the gun firing arriving at the much slower speed of sound.

I played Battlefield 1942: Desert Combat when I was much younger, and the developers did a pretty great job of replicating the A10 sound, you felt incredibly powerful controlling that vehicle for the sound alone.

Desert combat was a fantastic mod! I remember helicopters being very tricky to control (you actually had to balance cyclic & collective controls)

Bit of a learning curve for sure, but flying them was amazing when you got good at it! I remember especially the Apache being a juggernaut in any situation, even in dogfights with planes like the A-10.
