We don't have the Yamato, nor was it a significant factor in WWII.  All it was was bragging rights.

B7A1s din't do much, being very late and in small numbers, but it was powerful and manueverable.  The Tu-2s had widescale service and made thousands of attacks on German positions.

You might also like the Il-2's successor, the Il-10.

The Japanese fielded almost as many designs as the US becasue they also had the Army/Navy split that we did, but look at the relative size of the planesets.  Sure, you can argue "what did any of them do?", but in that case why have any German or Japanese aircraft, they lost the war so obviusly they didn't do anything....

Why?  The US has, by far, the largest, most complete planeset in AH.  The Japanese and Russians have small sets with lots of missing aircraft.

Ju87G-2 could mount 20mm cannons in the wings, and was flown by Hans-Ulrich Rudel who destroyed over 400 Soviet tanks, a battleship, several destroyers, and had 7-8 air to air kills IIRC.

The early versions were not up to snuff with the Dauntless but the C-4 version corrected many of the design flaws of the early SB2s.  From the time it served as the sole dive bomber for the USN in late '44, it had inflicted more damage on enemy shipping and installations than the Dauntless.


ack-ack

ohh okay, THEN PUT IT IN!!

I believe those were 37mm cannon .
