Yep.

1945 Kyushu J7W1 Shinden
Kyushu J7W1 Shinden

The aircraft in the poll though is the Kawanishi N1K-J (not the Kyushu J7W1 Shinden - only 2 prototypes) which did see service.

Kawanishi N1K Shiden

I said that because if..... we are talking about pure ac armament then my vote goes to FW-190A8. Especially to those of them which were fitted with Mk108 wing cannons.
Tempest/P-47 being the close second.......... VERY tough decision.

But if we are talking about great performance fighters then I vote for D9.
I would most likely vote for boosted P-51D regarding this criteria if it was included in the list.

What about the IL-2 ? Or Ju-87 Stuka ?

The FW-190 Anton series could be fitted with dual 20mm gun-pods which meant six 20mm cannons & two 13mm guns - thats alot of firepower! Gun-pods with the Mk-103 was also available to the FW-190, this gun could knock out any Allied tank.

You know, I don't think this site has many Japanese plane lovers.

the Il-2 and Ju87 are double seaters. although I think some Il-2 variants were single seat. I'd have to go with the P-47

What does the Il-2 and Ju 87 being multiple crewmember aircraft have to do with being the best attacker or not?

Because it says single seat attack plane in the title. The Il-2 in my opinion is the best overall attack plane, but again it was double seat.

Good point. Well, consider this more of a fighter/bomber evaluation.
