His book "Stuka Pilot" is highly recommended.  Great reading.

Rudel developed new tactics for Panzerstaffels. He found that the best way to knock out tanks was to hit them in the back (T-34's rear mounted engine and its cooling system did not permit the installation of heavier armor plating) or the side.

Rudel's personal victories as a ground-attack pilot were achieved exclusively against the Soviets,  include:

518+ Tanks
700 Trucks
150+ Flak and Artillery positions
9 Fighter/Ground Attack Aircraft
Hundreds of bridges, railway lines, bunkers, etc.
Battleship October Revolution, Cruiser Marat, and 70 landing craft

Shot down 32 times. he survieved the war


And this disabled them
