Use a verticle attack and don't come straight in.  Manuver slightly on the way down, power off.

Aim for the turret and try to kill the gun.  You don't have to kill the tank, only the gun.  Then its G2A engagement capability is finnished.

If you have drunks on the ground or close by you will need to kill the tank as well.  This is due to the co-axial MG.  At least it will not be shooting back at you.

Personally, I like the added element of a more intense ground war.

Good Luck!

The problem is there weren't that many Ostwinds built or fielded in the whole war to even make this an issue worth discussing.

This is what happens when "kewl" factor is more important than representativeness with regards to plane/vehicle modeling choice.

The point isnt that there is nothing that can kill an ostwind. Its that the whole game revolves now around the ostwind.
That is just silly.

 Ladies and Gentlemen, we are attacking a flakpanzer it's whole purpose in life was to do what it is doing in the game ,and ground ponders suffered a heavy lose rate  historically,so did I last night against ostwinds attacking my base but I was being stupid and not diving on them and I was heavily outnumbered, but I knew this I was merely trying to thwart a concentrated attack. I guess the moral to the story is if U are outnumbered and desperate to defend U will do dumb thing's and the math will catch up with U.
   I think the ostwind is fine a good addation to the game it is, besides I have Sean many a tank column vanish that was protected by ostwinds from a determined air asault. they can be killed once we all get over the lurning curve.

My only issue with them is how close they spawn to your bases !
Hell if you wanna drive em great but at least have to suffer a few minutes driving before you even see the base.
Btw .50s do very well against the Osty if you attack correctly.
