Get the idea? Japs especially can shit out a ton of these and if you say lendlease it to krauts that build their actual CAS they can clown on allies or slavs something awful. Related is air superiority rush (not ideal for china obviously but it helps in india and adapted/converted for rubber/lack of it) and you can adapt it to actual CAS with turrets or something that drains their fighters in smaller sea zones while also killing subs and or convoys.
It is not better than dedicated fighters or dedicated CAS but it's flexible and very easy to get on some nations. Very simple to use or pivot/convert too.
