I didn't know where can I share this but since there is BF4 gameplay I figured I will post it in gaming section. But it's more about the JET itself so I had this dilemma...
I did the same with F35 (cool facts) and since to me those facts are exciting, I wanted to share it 
Like for example GAU-8 cannon has 10,000 pounds force wile 1 A-10's engine has 9,065 so slightly less 
 
Damn I love JETS!....

    I have to cringe that you do a video about the A-10 using BF4 instead of DCS A-10C. Battlefield is your thing I guess, so I suppose I can forgive a bit for that.

    Didn't  think about that simulator to be honest. Thanks ;]

    First thing I though of was DCS, at the very least ARMA.  Hearing the GAU-8 in real life must be the scariest thing ever, or the most relieving depending on who you are.

    I live about a mile from a test range where they do runs all the time, the whole house shakes.

    We did a live fire involving a couple A10's doing strafing runs on scrap tanks when I was in the Army.  They did several runs with their cannons about 500 meters in front of us.  They would come in at a steep angle and when they opened up with the cannons you could see the jet slow down noticeably and hunks of armor plating being blasted off the targets.
     
    The only other weapon I saw that could compare was the Vulcan anti air craft canons.  Watching them live fire at night with tracers really showed the amount of metal they were putting in the air.
