Re: Destroyed tanks counted as "air victories" in April, 1945 by German fighters in east
In Robert Kershaw's excellent War Without Garlands - Operation Barbarossa 1941/42 I've read an account of 20mm Flak knocking out several T-34s in a desperate defensive battle.
Not actually destroying the tanks but supposedly by completely demoralizing the tank crews because of the terrifying and unendurable sound inside the tanks. Of course damaging tracks should be reasonable with 20mm AP ammunition.
