This guy would beg to differ with you, vis a vis CAS; my only addition would be that the Soviets & Germans both had the need to develop CAS a lot sooner than did the US, as we weren't even engaged in large-scale land combat until Africa in 42, where the Russians and Germans had been throwing a lot of lead at each other for a couple of years already.
