Re: The Flying Tank: Ilyushin Il-2

Overestimating of own successes is typical for any warfare, and I find this argument quite silly. I recall a rather hot dispute after an article that suggested Hartmann could score no more than 80 aircraft, so it works both sides. It is obvious, but then what is the purpose of this discussion? Nickname suggests it is not at all about history.
