Re: Il-2 pilots with 10 or more aerial kills

on youtube the Chieftain has a presentation "When Your tank is Attacked by Aircraft" It says to drive towards the attacking aircraft at a 45 degree angle. This makes sense because the pilot is going to have to use deflection to hit the tank. Also any cannon fire that hits the tank is going to hit at an angle and may bounce off. I would also say that the turret will be pointed at the plane and the gunner would be firing at it.
