What is the love affair with loser tech? Give me the P-47 anyday. Not only can it bust up tanks; it can fight it out with enemy fighters and if shot up can get you home. Honourable mention goes to the IL-2M3.

The P-47 is my favorite US aircraft but I thought we were talking about dedicated ground attack aircraft.

Uhm, anything dropping napalm. Napalm was FAR more effective than guns, rockets or bombs in the antitank role as far as aircraft weapons went.

July 1944, when it was first used, and not as a tank weapon, hardly contributed the the allied advance would you agree!

Germany used it before that but launched it using Nebelwerfers.

They were mounted on Sdkfz 251 halftracks. The one link isn't in English but has some great pictures.

AFAIK the 23mm cannon did have problems penetrating german tanks, especially in the later years. Hence why they upgraded to 37mm. Which produced a whole slew of other problems.

Apparently the Stuka was a more stable gun platform than the Il-2

Any rocket armed fighter-bombers should do the trick.

Not really, the allies had air superiority but still needed their tanks!
