rocket attacks do not affect the panzer either.
I can't really speak for the JABO side of bombs on armor (I suck at dive bombing), but I can speak about rockets. Been plenty of times I've come screaming down in me P38L and sent 2 well placed rockets into the arse of a panzer and disabled or keeled it.
There've also been plenty of times I've watched a bomb drop in front of me and knock out a track.
There have also been times I've watched bombs drop infront of me and driven into the crater and out of it again. Maybe you're bombs aren't hitting as close as you think all the time.

The problem isn't with cannon armed birds in general as someone else suggested. Just the F4U-1C (and Spits sometimes). Haven't really seen enough typhoons while in a tank, so can't say if they're part of the problem or not. This could suggest (especially if the tiffies fall into this catagorey also) that there
is something funky going on with the hispano armed birds.
