Who else claimed as badly as this? The majority of Luftwaffe aces achieved far better than 50% accuracy in their claiming. The other big exception is the II./JG 27 Schwarm of Experten: Stigler, Voegl, Bendert and Sawallisch. Known liars.
And the point Gabor makes is that either an aircraft was lost or significantly damaged... ...or it wasn't. By that standard, Lipfert looks good, Hartmann looks bad and guys like Ewald and Duettmann were somewhere in between
