Could the war thunder fake "A-20" dual A-10 Warthog or similars really work?

[Dtrip_Tanker]

Do you guys really think that these would work? The A-20 Dual Hog, Stealth Hog, and Wild Wolf seem like they would be able to fly and fight, but I don't know much about making a plane fly and fight. What do you guys think?

What do you guys think?

The dual one would likely fell apart rather quickly, especially considering that it's just photoshopped together.

The stealth version would not exactly be stealthy, because author essentially made miltiple corner reflectors out of hull and nacelles.

The "wild hog" version, with V-shaped tail and nacelles on the hull looks more or less workable, but I don't see the point.

Is it phsically Possible? Yeah but unstable if engine/wing loss. More point it's bigger target.

Might be able to fly but is just a bigger target while down in the weeds tank-busting. Not a viable fighting plane.

Stealth Hog,

Isn't stealthy at all. No edge alignment and it's still got corner reflectors everywhere. About the only thing it does right is wrap the gun up.

and Wild Wolf

Still has the gun exposed, which greatly messes with RCS. Worse, it still has external weapons in general.

Fix those two points and it'll be a much better aircraft.

----------------
Of course, this is kinda ignoring whether the A-10's tank-busting mission is still a viable one. Even back in the 80s, life expectancy of a Warthog driver in WW3 was measured in weeks if not days. Now it's just gotten worse. More capable air defense systems with longer ranges, you basically need 25-50km range weapons to drop on the SAMs before you can close in to use 10km range weapons on the AA guns before you can use a 30mm cannon on tanks. Or you just load up and drop those 25-50km weapons directly on the tanks from 25,000ft+.

This is speaking if these were built and functional. So the dual hog would be built and strong.

 

[Antonio]

The answer is that it couldn't be built "strong".
And if that would be the case, it wouldn't be functional as a weapon because it's just a fantasy design from someone who lacks any knowledge on technology or warfare. Just someone who thought it looks nice in a game.
