"Not really since his kills in the Stuka were a result of his gunner and he may have also scored a few of his 9 kills in the FW 190F-8 which he also flew."
Well, he shot down an IL-2 with those 37mms. The weapon effect was said to have been quite spectacular -even with AP.

Unfortunately, there is no real information on whether or not Rudel scored any A2A victories in any of the Ju87 models he flew. Not even in his own book "Stuka Pilot" does he mention shooting down any planes in the Ju87, however, he does credit his rear gunner with downing a couple of enemy fighters.
There is one instance that has fueled the fire of Rudel shooting down an enemy plane in a Ju 87G-1, and that was the fight between him and Soviet ace Lev Shestakov. However, even in Rudel's own words, he doesn't know if Shestakov was shot down by Rudel's rear gunner or if the Shestakov got caught in the turbulence from the Rudel's Stuka and crashed.
Further compounding the confusion is the exact number of A2A kills by Rudel aren't really known. Some sources cite 9 kills while others cite 11 but all credit the A2A kills having taken place during Rudel's 400 missions flying the Focke Wulfe.
Could Rudel have shot down a fighter in a Ju 87G-1? Sure, it's possible after all, the first A2A kill for the Luftwaffe was by a Ju 87B that shot down a Polish fighter that was trying to climb up and intercept a group of Stuka's over flying the Polish air base. In any case, there is no real proof that Rudel achieved any of his A2A victories in a Stuka. If he did, you would have thought he would have mentioned it in his book.
