Re: Destroyed tanks counted as "air victories" in April, 1945 by German fighters in east
I know few medium AFV claims by Hungarian fighters as well. Yogibär has right, if the AFV's used additional internal fuel tanks in routes (far from the first line), it was easy to burn them.
The fighters 3cm MK 108's armour-piercing shells couldn't penetrate the armour plate of the medium and heavy Soviet tanks generally (because they did not use wolfram-core ammunition) However, everything is possibe rarely (very lucky shot). Sometimes the strafing fighters destroyed Su 76's as well, which had not back and above armour protection.
But in Hungary, these vehicles were counted separate frm the airplanes (by assault and by fighter pilots as well).
