Re: Placing the Bell P39 Aircobra.

3 hits from eight aircraft doesn't seem that terrible. Actually, that's better than would be expected under combat conditions. However, one hit will kill a Panther. But how often was there an isolated single target? Think of the spread of 64 (or 200) rockets and a column or cluster of vehicles.

The statistic about failures to explode are irrelevant to anti-tank warfare, where solid-head shot is used.
