I lost a Panther to a wirblwind due to cumulative damage, thus being said - I also had one track knocked out, engine and turret, so eventually the damage was to much.
Now for everyone to think strafing a tank works - I had 3x vTards in a Me110s attack my Panther, all three strafed and strafed until one used the wittle bomb to track me, I went AFK for 5 minutes and came back to still be alive and all 3 either out of ammo or running home.
For the ones who think strafing a Tank does much damage think again, or even destroying a tank.
Your best bet is to track it and even then its not an easy task, assuming I had any ammo in my Panther I'd probably would of shot the planes down except I was empty and the pintle gun was blown off from a tank earlier.
When I eventually died - it gave credit to the tanker not the 110s even after all 3 pumped probably all their ammo into me.
Only damage he actually did was knock off the pintle gun, no other damage was done, still he got credit for the kill over the 3 aircraft.
