Tau Tiger Shark AX-1-0 Bomber
When first faced with Imperial Titans and Super Heavy tanks on Taros, the Tau realised they did not have enough Mantas to face the numbers the Imperium could throw at them.  The first counter they developed was to modify the Tiger Shark bomber to carry heavier guns.  Out came the Drone bay and Ion Cannons to be replaced with a pair of Rail Cannons and extra missiles.  Its speed and firepower allowed it to hit its targets hard and then withdraw out of range before the enemy had time to retaliate.  The design was so effective it has been retained by the Tau as a standard design.
