Hows about a Henchel Hs129B-2

Of course with the 4 30mm Mk101 cannon using the tungsten core projectiles. Reported to penetrate 8cm of armor and make mincemeat of T-34's, albiet from the rear and sides. I suspect this would work on trains, as well as the heavily armored M-16

Because that's a bomber destroyed, Zerstorer, not a ground attack plane.

The Hs129 was built specifically for destroying tanks. I'd much rather see that than a Me-410.

I'm quite sure Me-410 would see more use than Henschel and from same frame its easy to do more variants.

Yeah I hear that a lot about a lot of things.

Padlock, other planes, certain aspects of the software (mission builder... used by only a few), etc.

Lets move away from the "this will get more use" because you can't tell me that the Hs129 will just be left to sit in the hangar. The IL2 is barely worth anything, but people still use it.

Hs129, never seen one modelled in a game before and would be nice to have one.
