A10s are good at long range strike and Recce?
Other than being 'a bit' slow I'm sure it could be quite adept at the latter, given that so much gubbins is, or can be, 'podded'. It would certainly need a number of enhancements to be capable of the former. A little late now, but I'd rather my tax pounds had bought A-10s than Harriers. And as intimated, at CAS it's second to none.
