Any ex or current pilots here? If so, what would you want most in an A10 replacement? Or any new plane for that matter?

“If so, what would you want most in an A10 replacement? “

I have known a lot of pilots, most of whom want a faster and more maneuverable plane. For the air-to-mud mission, the grunts on the ground should have as much say as the guys in the air.

Two engines, for one thing. Can either one of these planes handle a 30mm cannon?
