Notes: This is a conversion of the USAF A-10A Thunderbolt II, nicknamed the Warthog. The A-10 is a close air support (CAS) jet aircraft, and as such requires a certain minimum lift. It is strictly subsonic, and is often employed at low-level strikes against enemy forces, aided by the tremendous power of it’s main cannon. The A-10’s armor is quite strong, and is able to stand up to multiple hits from fairly large guns. It carries a large payload of conventional munitions, which should be cross-referenced against a following list of munitions with range, damage, special characteristics, etc. Some of the weapons provided on the pylons are theoretical guesses, and are neither deployed nor are they planned to be deployed. In the real world, the AGM-12 was retired before the A-10 was designed.
Stat Notes: Thanks must go to the creator of the Pylon Rules for the Star Wars D6 system for an established set of guidelines for pylons weapons. No descriptions and/or captions from that work appear in my work, however. All data was generated by me, only the numbers from the original are used, and those have been converted to d20. All descriptions, manufacturers, etc., are either based on real-world companies and systems, or put in an alternate setting. This equipment can all be used within Star Wars 3rd Edition as well as d20 Modern. I have the Star Wars ranges, if anyone wants them, I will post them as well. In fact, the stats were originally written for Star Wars. Feedback appreciated.
