Air power.........

An excellent post, thank you. The only point I would make about Rudel is that he, and other A/T aces, was probably both a very good shot and very discerning in his choice of targets. It may be that the average joe in the squadron, geschwader, etc was less so. After all, not everyone wins the Ritterkreuz or its equivalent.

Whilst acknowledging that CS as it is now(except the imbecile nonflying bombers) rightly and properly decides that air-ground ops are a less than exact science, we don't IMO need to change any settings (except perhaps the AA). I don't know what
%age doesnt hit the specified target..does anyone? At any rate, it "feels" right.

Old saying..Ain't broke, don't fix.
