Planes that do not carry bombs do not have an attack role (I think so)

I understand that the 205 was never used as an attack AC.  I get tired of hearing "Thats not historically correct"  when this GAME is not about history...only in snapshot and such do they worry about that.  I also understand that I can use any plane anyway I want...but I want my points for it.  

Challenge for anyone:  Find an account of a Spit 14 doing a ground attack mission.  Don't think you'll find it since it was made for high alt bomber/V2 intercept.
