The Anton is such a beast

[GR00VYJERRY]

Took a break from flying the Anton for a bit. Recently came back to it and holy cow I forgot how beastly this thing is. It isn't great when going out hunting by yourself but it is a monster when flown right and used in support of multiple aircraft. This thing is so much fun. This video is just some of the kills from one night on my warbirds (Wolf Pack US).

Unpopular opinion by the I don't know what I am doing crowd but I agree.
It's a really good Jabo too.
By far my favorite WW2 plane.
The Cockpit layout is a masterpiece for it's time. 
Takes a lot to unlearn from the 109 Turn & burn tactic & BnZ properly. 

But then you unload those 4x20mm at convergence range without tracers on What ever merlin Powered Airplane that was or is front of you.
It Either vaporized it or it's not making it back to base.

I found that in IL2 with the FW190a3, but the a8 hard to handle in DCS; the Dora i prefer for DCS.

Any suggestions on which weapon to use to take out tanks with the A8?

A big bomb will do it (250kg or 500kg).  I tried knocking them out with a 50kg which should be possible, but alas I got no success with those...
