Henschel Hs 129 - was a German aircraft developed to attack tank formations and used in World War II.

It used the same engines as the Me 323, produced in occupied France. Weak engines accompanied the aircraft's operational history and hampered its development. It entered into operation in 1942, at a time during the war when it could no longer count on adequate escort.

To carry out its role, the Hs 129 received heavy armor in the cabin, self-sealing tanks and powerful armament, being widely used for tactical support on the Russian front. An attempt was made to design the smallest aircraft possible, with agility similar to that of fighters. Versions were produced with a 75mm BK7.5 anti-tank gun attached to the nose.

    @TheUltimatePlaneLover zeros also don't have self sealing fuel tanks, so hitting a fuel tank on one is a death sentence

    @Boeing727200F Fr tho Germany in AAB is terrifying
    I'm gonna regret this but I'd rather fight with Zeroes than 109s and 190s, because at least Zekes are slow
    Raidens are a different issue though
