Well, helos and fast mover strike fighters. Warthogs do a lot more than kill tanks and armored vehicles. The A-10 kind of fills the in-between roles.
Interesting about the range. I guess underwing fuel tanks would impede survivability, or maybe they simply haven't had the need. Of course, A-10s are capable of in flight refueling, so that could be why they don't need extra fuel capacity.
