The A-10 returns in Call of Duty: Black Ops II as a Scorestreak Reward named "Warthog" that executes strafing runs, using its 30mm cannon and rocket pods, around the map multiple times. Upon being called in, the Warthog will perform four strafing runs, attacking enemy players within its line of sight. Although difficult to accomplish, it is possible to shoot it down.
