The link shows just how over the top some of the Kursk claims were.

It was routine for all Army tank kill claims in the East to have a 50% dicount applied to them so presumably Air claims were more suspect.
Allied TAF kill claims in Normandy were as inflated so why isnt more common sense applied to these German CLAIMS.
Did Rudel never just damage a tank?
