I have done some research about Kursk air battle and my estimations were as follow:
1. German fighters overclaim 1:3 but if Flak is considered in all ways even higher.
2. Soviet fighters overclaim 1:8 up to 1:10.

Reasons for this quotas.
1.
-In July 1943 no more any eyewitnesses were needed in Luftwaffe. Claims were confirmed "unter Vorbehalt". (source Aders/Held JG-51)
-Flak also claimed a great a amount. But theres is to consider not only Luftwaffe Flak but also Heeres Flak which isn't counted at Luftwaffe documents. Alone one Panzerkorps at Kursk claimed 10% of all soviet air losses.
2. For the soviet side i haven't any reasons for this quotas found. Maybe LW documents are not correct, since they show quite different figures and also german POW said other figures.
