When you attach an artillery piece to an aircraft bad things happen to bad people. When you attach an artillery piece and multiple auto cannons to an aircraft, crap gets real.
Flying a starch wing takes skill. Rotorwings are an art form.
The A-10 would still be my first choice. I see your tank and raise you 166,178 ft.lbs of energy at the muzzle or 52,112.5 ft-lbs just short of a mile down range.
Or in the case during the first Gulf War. The pilot was flying CAP for SAR and they saw a Hind-D heading towards the downed pilot. The Hog driver couldn't get his AIM-9 to work properly so he let loose a 2 second burst into the helicopter. It ceased flying.
