Bazooka Charlie's "Rosie the Rocketeer" as low tier US light attack aircraft?
My dudes & dudettes, players & devs, i'd like to unironically propose adding Charles Carpenter's (A.K.A. Bazooka Charlie's) Piper L4 Grasshopper outfitted with 6 Bazooka Launchers (hence his nickname)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Carpenter_(lieutenant_colonel)
he was an artillery liason officer and pilot, tasked with observing the battlefield and reporting to his artillery unit about effective/ineffective artillery fire, enemy positions and dispositions.

but, fed up with simply watching the fight from the skies instead of parttaking in combat himself, he strapped (up to) 6 M1 Bazooka Rocket Launchers to what became "Rosie the Rocketeer" (his Reconnaissance Piper L4) and went to battle, occasionnal executing airstrikes on nearby tanks, AFVs, and Infantry

this dude is pretty badass, his story i find interesting, and there are barely any recon aircraft variants in game (and even less in the US tech tree).
so my proposal, in the honor of the "Mad Major" is to add "Rosie the Rocketeer" as a low rank US aircraft
