[simpits-tech] A-10 replacement

[Steve Wilson]

Load 'er up with Mavericks and let loose.  Frankly, I wonder why, though.  The A-10 is only 1/10th as geewhiz as the F-35, and likely far better armored considering the VTOL version's need to stay light.  We don't need another supersonic tank killer.  Like the DC-3, the C-130 and the B-52, with the Warthog they achieved near perfection for the role and created the best possible tank killer.
