Except, the Rattler isn't a bomber.
This seems to keep going around about not understanding the dif between types of planes. Usually, they are designated to make it clear.

F = figther
B = bomber
C = cargo
A = attack (close air support for ground troops)
R = reconaisance
P = pursuit
..and a few more

Some additional effort is needed to understand the Fighter designation because it can be used for both air superiority fighters like the F-15, F-22 and also for tactical fighters that primarily attack ground targets like the F-16, F-117 and F-35. Although each has a primary purpose, pretty much all fighters can attack both air and ground targets.

Anyway, back to the topic of Hurricane vs Rattler.
The Rattler is based off the A-10, but has been changed to add some air-to-air capability too. The Hurricane is armed with all air-to-ground, but seems more like a tactical fighter like the F-117 exclusively for hitting ground targets. This is a lot like the Firebat too which I'd call a tactical fighter as well for hitting ground targets.

Which one is better (at hitting ground targets)?
I'd go with Hurricane, because I'd assume it's faster and also has more guided missiles for precision attack. The unmanned drone also gives the Hurricane an edge because it can go in to take out a SAM site without putting the pilot or the main aircraft at any risk.

Attack planes are light bombers. The A-10 carries more bombs than a B-17. The F-117 is likewise a light bomber, that should, by all rights, have an A designation. The Nighthawk doesn't even have air to air capabilities. It has no gun, and cannot carry anti-aircraft missiles.

Other designators are O - Observation
X- Expirimental
T- training
K- inflight refueling tanker
You're forgetting to mention that dual purpose air craft are designated as dual purpose. They have both designators. The F/A-18 Super Hornet and E/F-111 Raven are examples. Then you can get really into it when you start talking aircraft that have been repurposed, for instance the E/A-6B Prowler and K/A-6d tanker, both of which are repurposed A-6 Intruders, the O/A-10 Forward Air Control, or everybody's favorite, the A/C-130 Spectre.



Also, the F-16 Falcon is an air superiority fighter, that had ground attack capabilities added on to it, much like a scene from the HBO movie "The Pentagon Wars."

Also, you have to understand that all of these designators are having less and less meaning as the modern military is trying to cram as much "Multi-role" into the arsenal as they possibly can.

Oh, and so I'm not completely OT, I myself prefer the Rattler, mainly because of the colors.

Actually the only Cobra Aircraft I had as a kid was the F.A.N.G.II.

That being said, you have a very good point about the size for kids and I'll agree with you on this one. The Huricane is probably better for playablility when it comes to kids. But for me it would really only win in that catagory.

BTW, I still have spindley little kid arms
