Primarily it was used in mixed role. That was typical for all suitable types ie those with heavier guns and/or bomb carrying capability.
Just one example: 25th Sept 1944, Norway Coast, Arctic Sea, convoy busting, German shipping attacked by 33 Il-2, 14 Yak9, 24 P-40, air cover provided by another 24 fighters (p-40s and Yaks).



See, I didn't mention any tank busting.

They are basing it on "their assumptions".

most cannon armed plane have attack mode due to cannons and strafing capability. Not tied to historical use as much as game scoring.

Aircraft with similar (or better) strafing capability to A6M3 that don't have an Attack option:

C.205
109-F4
109-K4
Spit V
Spit IX
Spit XIV
Yak-9U

Doesn't add up.  :headscratch:

I think the 109-E4 is also Fighter only.
