Seems to me that the A-10 is more of an 'attack' (Check the name for a start) aircraft, specialised for close air support, with the ability to carry out a bunch of other missions when needed. The Tornado seems more like a true strike aircraft designed for hitting strategic targets and penetrating defended airspace etc.
The two are meant to be used very differently and can't really be compared to eachother anymore than a Tomcat can be compared to a Blackjack.
And I'm told the JSF is going to replace the A-10, how the hell is that supposed to work?
