Ju-87G Stuka

[Furio]

Seriously, and more kindly speaking, the theoretical penetration is not everything. The BK 3.7 had even better performances in optimal conditions, being able to penetrate 140 mm., at 100 m. and 90°. But at 60° and same distance, penetration was halved at 70 mm. In the end, real world anti tank aircraft of WWII were not that much effective. Surely less effective than the simulated ones of our beloved sims.
In my opinion.

As far as I know, there were only 3 planes that were truly effective vs tanks:
Ju-87G, Hs-129B3, and Hurricane with Vickers S-guns. The rest, including IL-2, just a myth.
