Agreed...I cant remember what a former pilot had to say about it but it was on reddit, if some one can find it, about how the A-10 was against tanks and vehicles used by terrorists. Pretty much along the lines of against Taliban its fairly effective but if it were a nation like Russia it would have a little bit of difficulty. I do think it only needs to be modernized though. Any thoughts?

Not really a way you can modernize it. Against modern heavy armor it's main gun isn't all that useful. It's relativly slow, and to use it's main gun it has to fly rather low. This all means it is exposed to modern air defense and modern fighters. For carrying bombs it's beaten by all the other multi role and fighter aircraft, which can carry bombs and go faster.
Basically it's job can be done better by attack helicopters or a multi role aircraft, both of which can also do things the A-10 can't do.

At this point, I see few alternatives to the F-35 besides upgrading old aircraft (like the F-16) or NS-wanking some magical upgrades to foreign "equivalents".
Just buy MiG-21 upgraded with like AESA and 3d thurst vectoring.
You could get like 100 of them for the price of like 20 F-16s.

What would be the pro/con relationship of aircraft such as the fictional F/A-37 talon which I already use against such aircraft as the IRL Boeing F/A-XX prototype or similar 6th generation combat aircraft?

Forward swept swing wings don't work.

The F/A-37 isn't practical for a few reasons, mainly due to one, the previously mentioned limitations of Forward Swept Wings, and additionally, we can't judge the pros and cons of the F/A-XX because the program is still remarkably deep in the Black World.
