As far as pure victory tallies go, it's great. But if you make no attempt to match the claims to actual losses... ...then is it really true that Kittel shot down more IL-2s than Brendel? Is it really true that Brendel shot down more than Wiese in turn...?

Do you really want to go on blindly accepting the ever-so-fantastic victory tallies of these aces without seeing if they have real substantiation? If the Russians did not lose an IL-2 every single time Kittel claimed to have shot one down then it simply is not true to say that "Kittel shot down 94 Sturmoviks". It isn't the cold war anymore...
