Would be interesting to do the maths, if the data was available; but, I'd have thought that a low mass aircraft (it is displaying...) at low energy (seems to be low speed / hung on the edge of stall most of the time) plus a reasonably energetic canon would not be a recipe for happiness, regardless of the location of the weapon.

Anybody got any A-10 time? That would be a reasonable comparison.

Like? I spent 7 years of my life working hard to avoid it, and make sure so did everybody else! Fascinating subject, but I've no intention of ever going there.

Cheers,
