I think for me it depends on the situation and the mood I'm in.  I really like the 190F8, but I'm not so good with the rockets unless I'm shooting at soft vehicles (I landed 6 PT kills just using rockets once).  The 500kg bomb will take out a Tiger.  I like the 110G2 for the 2x 500kg, and if I'm feeling lucky and there's only PZs and Osties out, I might even take up a 110C4b for the perkies.  If there's many cons, definitely the Il2 with the 6 100kg package - drop the 100kg bombs in pairs bracketing the gv and you'll get him every time.  Once again, rockets only for soft vehicles (the Il2's rockets are HE, not AP like the 190F8's), and shoot the tanks from behind with your 23mms.  Don't even bother with the 7.62s - they will throw off your aim and give you false hits.  But hey, this is just for me, and different things work for different people.  Practice offline dropping on the vehicles sitting on the airfield to improve your skills and find your niche.

Like I said, the fastest way to flatten large amounts GVs is with a Lanc & massive ord. Lame, yes. Rampant dweebery, yes. Score whoring, probably. Will you get flamed on 200 & private msgs? Most definately. That's how you know it's so effective (and gamey).

I will note that I don't personally do that. I haven't flown a buff in a long time. However, I have flown escort for people that do engage in dweebery. They attract enemy fighters like moths to a flame, and I get to fight, so I don't complain.

IL-2.
A killer.
kick them Panzers on their rear with those 23mm's and they smoke.
The kills pop up a tad later :D

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

I like to take a minimum of fuss, found that the dora with center bomb works great on tigers if you hit em directly, or if im feeling gritty I like the hurri with the 40mm's, as a couple to the tracks of will at-least stop the bloody things.:furious

I am about 93% sure that the Panzer Blitz 1 rockets that the 190F8 has are actually a HEAT (High Explosive Anti Tank) round.  But I have not heard back from the man (HT, et al) if strike angle is modeled in game.  I have a few films of me killing tiggers with just the rockets.  Against flaks though it seems much harder and not just because they are shooting at me ;)  Once you get a feel for the rockets you can land solid hits from 1.5k out which is nice vs M16's. Just use the TA for the PIMP (Point of IMPact sight) ;)

Dont aim for the tracks with 40mm. Shoot them in the top of the turret or in the ass.:aok

My current favorite is the Ju-88, I killed 4 panzers and a Tiger last night in just a few minutes. They were attacking my base, so I just flew over to the spawn point and there was a mess of panzers just sitting there. Even the Tiger can't take a 500 kg bomb. The 50 kg work really good on the panzers if you drop a salvo.

The most suprising thing was, when I landed it and looked at the points, I got 19 just for that sortie! Don't know how it came out to that but I'm not complaining.:)

I say go with 190f8 with center bomb and 4 little ones....set salvo to 2 with the little ones and you can get 3 gvs pretty easily in 3 passes....although I would recommend only using the  little ones on flaks and m3s or m8s if your just dropping 2 at a time...drop all 4 of them for a tank....just in my experience
