The Hs 129 B was Germany's primary ground attacker alongside Ju 87D and G attack variants. The Hs 129 was known for flying like a brick; being extremely slow and sluggish not uncommon for ground-attack aircraft. An oddity of the aircraft was that it used German-manufactured French Gnome-Rhone 14M engines, which were used because they were in plenty supply unlike more powerful engines like the DB 603 used in German fighters.
The Hs 129 B-3 variant specifically though, is armed with a massive 75mm BK 7,5 cannon converted from a Panzer IV, which cut through the armour of T-34 and Sherman tanks like a hot knife through butter; provided the pilot could aim well, of course.
