Ok.. Heres another one..... Which aircraft, bomber or fighter, would u consider the Best Ground-Strafer...
Bomb loads are irrelevant..... Just the gun platform..... Targets are locomotives, troops, light armoured vehicles, buildings, aerodromes, trucks and so on.. NO SHIPPING.....
There are a few aircraft that come to mind on this....
Mosquito
Fw-190A
P-38J
P-47D

Country: | The Me 110 was used for Ground-attack but it was not as successful at it as the JU 88 or the Henschel 123.
