geez not again guys !!!
the A-8 version was the heavy hitter against bombers, the Dora was used in interceptor work with P-51's and a stop gap till the Ta 152 could fill the ranks which never happened we know

Of course people can be wrong about looks
The poll clearly showed that peeople prefer the D's sleek, beautiful styling to the A's Short, stubby styling (Actually no, thats cruel to the A, it did look very good, just not as good as the D)Anyway, lets get back off the subject of looks and on to the subject in hand
Dont take me wrong, I think the A looked great but the Dora was just beautiful. And yes the Dora was a better aircraft too. As Erich said they were used for 2 different roles also, but the Dora was the better all around aircraft and yes Lanc looked better!
