Then again it's bs.
As an ex tank commander I can tell you we have the full intention to kill the enemy tank's crew and not the tank per se.
Why should you judge pilots different?
Why did so many pilots explicit aim for the cockpit?
Being an ex tank commander myself when engaging infantry we always aimed at their cartridge belts to make them unserviceable.
