  1. http://www.panzerworld.net/jagdtiger.html

    This site claims that 5 Jagtiger were destroyed by air attack. I am sure many were also damaged. Carius claims that rockets got one right through the rear doors.

    5 out of 88 ain't bad.

    And Baneman, anyone with the cognitive abilities to read blueprints and correlate that information with photos and drawings can clearly see that there is a clear path for projectiles into the T34's rear. Many AFV are also vulnerable to this sort of attack. Including the German Tiger.

    Hey, I think he might be ok.

    I would worry more about this actually. Not since the specter of Dorosh's Dummy have a Canadian made such a arse of himself.

    Actually, you are all basically parhetic. In a 1:1 way.

    Just to prove the operation of the louvres. Note that an attacking plane shooting up the rear of the tank has a direct LOS into the rear of the engine itself.

    A good website to bookmark.

    Good find - and nice to see you using some facts for a change.

    However this provides "direct access" to the Transmission compatment, not to the engine, and then only if the aircraft is attacking from a suitable angle. </font>

  4. 15. Soviet statisticians estimated the chances of a Ju-87G1 actually making a KO hit on a Soviet tank in combat conditions as between 2 and 3 per cent per sortie, if it actually attacked and expended all its ammunition against a Soviet tank.
    And what is the Soviet expectation from its own tank busting AC?

    I find this stat to be hardly believable.

  5. Great stuff Guys!

    Here's a Soviet side report to add to the info mix.

    http://rkkaww2.armchairgeneral.com/battles/Kursk/prokhorovka.htm

    It claims losses from German aviation.

    The 2nd TC operated together with the 2nd Gds. TC vs. SS Panzer Division "Das Reich".

    The 2nd Gds. TC started attacks at 10:00 am. The 2nd TC was left in defence. Until noon the soviet offensive was stopped by German aviation and rocket launcher's fire. At 15:00 SS panzer division launched a counter-offensive and forced soviet troops to retreat 2 km on 5km of front line.

    Losses of the 2nd and 2nd Gds. TCs were ~85 tanks(47%) (44 from them irretrievable).

    31th Tank Brigade: Was moving after the 32th Brigade from 1 km south to Barchovka on "Oktiabrsky". Had many losses from German aviation. At 10:30 reached "Oktiabrsky" but was stopped by aviation. At 15:40 repelled a German counter-attack. Lost 24 T-34, 20 T-70, 62 men.
