I noticed that about the T-55s, they're dangerous as heck, so I focused on them with the A-10 then rolled the cavalry in to mop up. I engaged some with TOWs from a HMMWV and scored hits without return fire at 3 miles but it seems if you get in close they'll shred even armour. I should have thought to control air assets with CA but I hadn't done it before so it slipped my mind. Yeah I think I shot down 4 of the cargo planes. Started to chase on of the Yak-40s before seeing their high alt and remembering they're civil. I'll keep that ok mind about planes though, great idea!
