Favorite of the ground pounders would have to the be A-10A Thunderbolt II, nothing beats strafing tanks at 450mph in a flying tank with a 30mm Cannon. The AGM-65, Rocket Pods, and Large Bombs are great for tearing up entrenched posistions, tanks, structures, and naval units. Makes it ideal for CAS in terms of its toughness, offensive firepower and stability.

The F-2A was another one of these aircraft, with its anti ship missiles and its decent air to air capabilities it was good for scenarios where you had to take on well defended sea or land targets as well as swatting flies. With Ace Zero and 6 however the aircraft seemed to have taken a turn for air superiorty and showed more the traits of its F-16C cousin. It was painful in Assault Horizon losing this capability since the F-2A would have been right at home in the A2A arena as well as Anti Shipping. Namdai should have tagged it a Multirole.
