One of the best close air anti tank and ground support platforms we have. But we still have bazookas - Right?

The original mission of the A-10 was tank busting. As a tanker myself once upon a time I would have loved nothing more than to be backed up by a bunch of warthogs. High performance all purpose aircraft seem ill-designed for such a mission.
