Country:  | Your Favorite Attack Aircraft of WW2, all sides welcome
Which ones do you guys like? I personally favor the Dautless and the B25H. Gotta love the 8 50s in the nose ALONG with the 75mm cannon. Tell your reasons no matter what you chose. |

Country:  | It is a hard choice, I like the Typhoon, the Mossie, the JU-88, the Havoc, the HS-129 and the IL-2. However I will say HS-129.

Maybe Gnomey, but the Hs-123 was the forerunner of the Stuka and introduced the whole dive bombing concept (In Germany at least) plus I love the later types of biplanes.

It's got a 57mm anti-tank gun in the nose! Along with 4x.303 and a bomb bay that can carry a cookie

| I have always liked the Boston. No specific reason but it was one of the first US aircraft to be used in any numbers from quite early on in the war. It was still effective up to the end, was used in all theaters and was never found wanting. Despite this it doesn't often get the credit it deserves. | |

| B25 strafer without the 75mm cannon.
For single engine, I suppose the Typhoon is a good pick.

| Typhoon number 1
No question about it. The typhoon is the best of them all. Not only did it care cannons but could also care a very heavy bomb or rockets. I think it is also the best of them all because it could also defend itself if it had to. | |

| Typhoon for me
4x 20mm Hispanos
2000lb bombload
8 60lb SAPHE single rockets or 4 sets of paired rockets.
It probably wasn't as versatile as the P-38 and it didn't have the load carring capacity of the F4U-4, but it was fast down low, rugged in attack and looks more menacing than any other strike aircraft out there. | |
