I actually like the way this doc functions. I agree that the delay is long, but the strength of the plane lies in the user not in the game. The AT strafe is still useful against buildings and arty. Use it on crippled tanks to quickly finish them off. Just don't use it on tanks without engine damage. 160 munitions (strafe + mine) to kill an enemy tank is definitely cost effective.
The regular strafe is still effective at pinning inf even if they move out of the way, as long as they are not too far away.
Use the recon to fly parallel to your enemies lines, that way if he shoots it down it crashes on his units.
Unlimited stuka dive bomb, need I say more?
If you are going up against heavy arty this is an exceptionally powerful doc.
