NAVY? I didn't know an A-10 could be launched from a carrier?

An A-10 Thunderbolt II can't handle the forces of a cat launch and arrested stops plus the wing span alone would make it impossible for carrier ops since the rear and mid section of the flight deck would have to be clear of any aircraft as well as the landing gear would have to be beffed up drastically to take the punishment that carrier take offs and landings puts her fighters through on a daily and nightly basis. Plus it would be impossible for an A-10 Thunderbolt II to land on a carrier's deck that's pitch around in rough seas and the most scariest thing that a Naval Fighter Pilot has to do is attempt a night landing on a moving airfield that's no bigger than a football field that's while other flight ops are all going on in a extremely well orchestrated complex ballet that so complicate that the most super advanced computers in the world be so overloaded by the rapidly changing positions of all the aircraft on the flight deck and in the hanger below that they would crash. So this here is the only most advanced piece of technology that can keep track of all the traffic on the flight decks of a carrier. youtu.be/QOhuUgZTzQg

The A-10 may look ugly as sin but you wouldnt want to feel her wrath.
Main gun look a tad small, unless its been changed from the 30mm tank buster one to a more standard cannon.
Dose she have vector thrust capabilites? the little thing under the engine looks like ie can move it.

30mm GAU remains the same, the things by the engine is actually a device that dissipates it's IR Signature

Intersting making it less noticable on the IR radar and harder to hit with heatseakers
