Re: Destroyed tanks counted as "air victories" in April, 1945 by German fighters in e
German fighters used 3cm cannon -- the MK 108 -- that did not carry armour-piercing ammunition. The 20mm MG 151/20 cannon had armour-piercing ammo, but it would have been hard-put to penetrate even the lightest tank armour. So, they were probably limited to brewing up the tanks by hitting external fuel tanks with incediary ammunition.
