So....

Ju-87 stuka-Fine aircraft at the start of the war but quickly became outdated. It was still useful for ground attack though, as long as ther was air superiority...which was hard to achieve. Its easy prey for fighters,but with a competent pilot, it could make mince meat of T-34s. (One pilot was able to destroy 11 Tanks during the Soviet attack of berlin, not to mention the same pilot was able to destroy a battleship, albeit an old one, with a 500 or 1000kg bomb.)

Il-2- Good, ground attack aircraft, heavily armoured, heavy weaponry, cheap to make, was even used as a makeshift fighter. However, accuracy was mediocre and the bombload was small.

Hawker Typhoon- Its a fighter bomber, but it performed well as a ground attacker, its rockets had a bigger charge than the Il-2s plus it was also a capable low altitude fighter,its high altitude performance was abyssmal however and bombload was mediocre though.

note: The hawker tempest was an aircraft based of the typhoon but it was completely superior in everyway possible. 700 kmh, speed record, improved reliability, etc. Same bomb payload though.

P-47: Like the Hawker Typhoon, performed moderately well as a fighter, also a good fighte bomber ,but it had light 50 cal machineguns instead of the heavy 4x20s of the Hawker.

F4U/F4/ F6 (Naval fighter bombers)- They preformed well as fighter aircraft, however light armament (50 cal), alongside a light bomb/rocket load would be a negative.

Also...There are a lot of notable navy dive bombers, like the SBD dauntless, most of which suffer from the same limitations as the stuka so you guys decide which is the best bomber.

TLDR: Jump to a specific aircraft with the bold font if you only want to read specifically.
