No, it was built to provide CAS. The gun was invented to give it teeth. The concept of the plane, the A-X, came before the gun. The gun was developed for the A-X competition between the Fairchild YA-10 and Northrop YA-9.

If you want to talk A-10, try here:

www.a-10.org

There are dozens of A-10 personnel from crew dogs, to load toads, to hog drivers that post there regularly(lots of other military too). It is easily best a-10 website on the planet.

I've run it for the last 2 years since the former NCOIC of the Hill AFB Hog Depot stepped down.
