Both the Germans and the Russians kept using aircraft with hard hitting guns as tank busters right to the end of WW2. The Russians complemented this with small hallow charge bombs dispersed form special containers.
The allies tried 40mm AT guns on the Hurricane, and used 57mm and even 75mm guns for anti ship work. But for tank busting they stuck with rockets, which, as repeated over and over in recent posts, were not accurate enough.
So, what would be the ideal aircraft/gun combination for the allies?
