Are any of our Marauders fixed with ground-strafing weapons?

The B-25 was flown by numerous air forces, including England, China and Russia, and was built in numerous variations. Some variants mounted up to 14 0.5 Browning machine guns or even a 75mm M-4 cannon. These attack variants proved devastating to Japanese shipping and in the ground attack role.


Sorry about that....the pics reminded me of the B25....used extensively for ground attack.
Not sure if we have one with a cannon....Most devastating ground attack plane we have, that
I have found so far, is the IL2. Truly fun strafing! Has rockets too!
