Notes

The "A" variant of the "Warthog" has the No Sensors Flaw because the type originally had no onboard sensors of any kind. Pilots had to either detect targets visually, or use sensor pods mounted on external hardpoints. Even the targeting systems of some weapons have been used on occasion; during the Persian Gulf War of 1991, A-10 pilots used the imaging infrared sights on their AGM-65 Mavericks to fly and attack at night. All A-10s in service are now scheduled to be upgraded to the "C" variant, which integrates the LITENING II sensor suite and laser rangefinder/target designator into the airframe.
