Re: Il-2 pilots with 10 or more aerial kills

Gabor
My late pal, RAF pilot, recalled that they were trained to aim particular areas of a tank, and he noted it was possible. They were fully aware that they could ot destroy a tank, just disable with their rockets, so the tactics was to hit suspension on a particular side of a collumn of tanks, so no parts could be borrowed to cobble them together, forcing to wait for tech support. The goal was not to destroy th enemy, but to delay reinforcements to the frontline or to disable them on battlefield to allow ground troops to destroy or overtake them.
