Half a ton of armour and a ton of gun. That'll be lovely to fly

It was intended as a anti-tank but modified for the anti-shipping role

I prefer the current bomsight variant once light for dogfighting.  It has the power and lightness to handle quite well.  If you see one flying low and you're in a 190, watch out.

When it had the role of using a big gun in long shallow dives vs a really slow and big target it really doesn't need to be twinkle toes in the acrobatic department.   :aok

I think it might be kind of fun to tinker with, I bet it isn't any worse to fly than the 75mm armed B25H.

Probable fast but with less punch

Once light, get aggressive with enemy fighters and try to force them to auger.  Worst case Ontario you slow them down for you friends to make easier work of.

It handles better with no guns.  It's easier to get on someone's 6 this way.

Odds are they won't notice you're not flying with guns.

See above, force an auger or slow them down to be killed by friendlies quickly.

Plus it's fun to make an La pilot wonder how you just did that.

More punch as it would be firing AP rounds instead of HE rounds.
