Country:  | I vote for the Hawker Typhoon. I understand they were credited with destroying 135 tanks on August 7, 1944.

Country: | Definitely, good at soft skinned vehicles but tanks were a tougher nut to crack for it. Best anti-tank air to ground weapon would have to be a 500lb bomb. Easier than a rocket to use and more accurate

Easier than a rocket to use and more accurate | As I've already shown, Napalm was the best tank killing weapon. The area of coverage is huge. Hitting the tank was easy, and often more than one tank could be destroyed in a single drop. Napalm burned so hot it would usually explode the tanks fuel and ammo. Even near misses were sufficient to roast the crew and ruin the running gear. Napalm was used quite effectively in the ETO starting in the late spring of 1944, though it is not well publicized.

Country:  | Same here. I know little about Napalm use in WW2. Until this site I did not even know it was used in WW2.
