[DS] Ground Attack Craft

I've been trying to design Ground Attack Fighters, and find it's one of
my 
weaknesses.  I have a hard time deciding how to arm them.  How many 
different types of air assets do most people use, and how do you arm
them?  
Since they can only carry up to a certain class, MDC's's aren't quite as

formidable as they would be on an MBT that can sling a class-5 gun.  For
a 
futuristic grandson-of-an-A-10, a DFFG seems plausible, but it does
require 
an up close & personal touch that might be iffy from an aerial POV. 
GMS/H's 
seem a natural choice, but it means both the weapon AND it's platform
are 
vulnerable to the same ADS.  DFO's seem too limited in duration, I'd
rather 
deliver those kinds of ordnance via arty (IN THE GAME, disclaimer).  
Suggestions?  Anyone have any designs they use that Particularly float
their 
boats, or preferrably SINK their ENEMY's?
