I don't deny the numbers but I deny your conclusion.
"It was found that none of 134 fired RS-132 hit the target during the test,"
while 140 Rocket Projectiles fired by Typhoon gave 50% chance of hitting a Panther.
These results are identical.
In other words if a Typhoon fired 134 rockets then it would be expected to miss because its chance of hitting is LESS than 50%. The IL-2 did miss with 134 rockets. The results are identical. Capiche?
What is shown is the inherent inaccuracy of rocket projectiles. That is what Rudel stated and what Operational Research and RAF tests showed, but what Typhoon pilots and 2TAF vehemently denied.
Conclusion: any aircraft firing a rocket was inefficient. Any organisation that knew rocket-firing was inefficient but insisted it was efficient is making a fraudulent claim. I rest my case!
