 Personally,I'd like to see an ords system,perked if need be,that would allow the player to
 load different weapons on A/C.

 Example: the 37 mm for stuka,110G and/or 88's

            :Mk101 30mm for 110B
 
            : Tiny Tims for F4U

I'm sure there's plenty other weapons and packages that for a reasonable "price" players could and would spend perks.
 Just to make it interesting,lets say Bomber perks could be used for the perked ords,wouldn't that be a great way to use those perks and might encourage players to up buffs for some points to use
on the perked ords.

 I'm interested to hear others thoughts and ideas on this subject.

 Oh and bring on the 37mm stuka :aok

Does every nation in the game (except the Finns with the sole Brewester) have the option for a 37mm tank buster or bigger damn Hurricane 40mm), except the Luftwaffe?

Yes but the only single engine attack plane to carry a 4000lb bomb.  Still would rather take my chances with the 37mm.  :aok
They call it "common sense", then why is it so uncommon?

I'm curious as to which American aircraft you think has a "tank-busting gun?"  The P-39s 37mm was for air-to-air work, not busting tanks.  The B-25's 75mm was for anti-shipping duties, not tank busting.

Actually, the 1st Air Commandos used the B-25H to great effect in hunting down Japanese truck convoys in the CBI.  Usual ammo load out for the B-25H included 5 AP rounds.

A truck convoy is not a tank.
