Shall I build the Stuka or the HS-129 as tank buster? The Stuka PzJag has higher 'load' but lower 'cannon' than the HS-129. What parameter is determining the success against tanks (interdict/ground attack missions)?

Cannon ratings have the greatest impact on AFV losses, while the load rating has the highest impact on losses. This could have been changed some in the latest versions, but the cannon is still most important for killing tanks, I am almost positive.

Only makes sense. A bomb isn't going to kill a tank unless it hits straight, whereas 'soft' targets are vulnerable to frags,concussion etc. whereas an accurate 37mm APCR or seven going through the engine deck is better for tanks but won't do crap for soft targets.

should be noted that early Hs129 had lighter cannons that didn't hurt tanks too bad. The game doesn't reflect that though
