Default Re: Were JU88's ever equipped as anti-tank aircraft?

They used 75mm cannon on some B-25's in the Pacific but these were for anti shipping and I read they still were alot of stress on the aircraft with popping rivets and cracks to the airframe. It would be easier to hit a ship than a tank I would think.

Also they experimented with a 102mm gun on the Italian four engine bomber the Piaggio P.108B for anti shipping.
