Comments on: Ground Attack Aircraft: Myth of the Tank-Busters http://ftr.wot-news.com/2014/04/04/ground-attack-aircraft-myth-of-the-tank-busters/ Fri, 30 Aug 2019 10:08:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.9.2 By: edfrancis001 http://ftr.wot-news.com/2014/04/04/ground-attack-aircraft-myth-of-the-tank-busters/#comment-134559 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 10:40:45 +0000 http://ftr.wot-news.com/?p=7251#comment-134559 A good article Frank, im sure the Moral was a bigger killer than the actual aircraft, I know Otto feared them more than the enemy ground forces, and if an army hesitates it leads to more problems. as for Rudel, i would say his claim while slightly over is not too far off, he was wanted by the soviets who recognised his talent and put a bounty on him. and his claims of sinking ships etc are easy to prove.

but overall a good article

- Pilots say that they destroyed 17 tanks
- Search group finds only 9 destroyed tanks
- Only 2 are destroyed by rockets (that is, by aircraft, the other 7 are destroyed by usual means, arty shells, enemy tanks, infantry weapons, etc)

2 / 17 = 11,7%

“The last time I checked, 9 of 17 was 53%. Even if you take away the two destroyed by rockets, 7 of 17 is 41%. That is a far cry from the 11% claim he is making”
