>The A10's minigun is ineffective at killing modern main-battle tanks, so I wouldn't say it's a raging sucess.

Heh heh. No. There isn't a tank in the world that can survive an attack from the GAU-8. And it's not a "minigun". A minigun is, you know, small.

The A-10 also can carry a variety of missiles and bombs to get the job done.

I don't necessarily disagree with your conclusion, though. Sniper pods have made "low and slow" unnecessarily risky.
