There used to be a book in print called Stuka Pilot. It details the experiences of Hans-Ulrich Rudel. He had quite a career as a tank killer, first in a Stuka and then later in a FW.

He strafed many a tank to death from a n aircraft, albeit with special purpose canon.

He was also shot down something over thiry times by enemy ground fire.

It's an excellent read if you can find it.

P-47s can kill Tigers with their 50s. It was shown on the History Channel.

I suppose the Jug's incendiary .50 rounds could set the Tigers fuel-leaky rear end on fire.

I wonder if the .30 cal pintle guns on any gv had incendiary rounds?

Rasker,

Just venturing a guess here, but I think he is being sarcastic.

Having some fun, since someone always comes up with the 50s richocheting into the belly of the Tiger. How they managed to penetrate the 1" steel in the belly is the question.

At the angle the bullet would hit, they would have to penetrate 3"-4" of steel.

Someone should model a gun that would light matches and shoot them at that fuel-leaky rear end with a rubber band

OTOH, I wonder if the Tigers ever encountered napalm, mwaahaahaa!
