Placing the Bell P39 Aircobra.

""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."

How typical to You! The Typhoon case is from combat situation and Il-2 case from test. Are you claiming that ground fire had no effect to accuracy of ground attack planes?

Now there are also test on RP Typhoons. On one case against captured Panther in the middle of an open field out of 64 RP fired only 3 hit the tank. Not outstanding, I admit. British estimated that in battlefield against single tank only one out of 200 fired hit, and that some 20-30% of RP warheads failed to detonate.

Now without knowing the test conditions of the Il-2 test I would not draw conclusion on accuracies between Typhoon with RP and Il-2 with RS-132 but only suggest that you also checked how effective Ju 87 Gs were in reality, contrary to claims, against Soviet tanks. And Il-2s with 37mm cannon were not liked by pilots and they had inhered accuracy problems which you of course should know already after 35 years of study and with your pursuit of thruth. Otherwise you would not of course express definite conclusions.
