I already know about this. But 37mm round's fragment effect was less than 75mm, 76mm... etc more bigger cannons.I think if was attacking them from the rear and above the 37mm was adequate to the task. Remember also that it's not just the size of the round but the muzzle velocity and the kinetic energy carried by the round.

37mm AP round can also penetrate T34's armor but 37mm's fragment effect was cannot be compared to 88mm's fragment effect.
In the real ww2 battle, a lot of tanks sustained more than one AP round which came from enemy tanks and AT guns.
Many T34's destoryed by more than 2~3 75mm or 88mm AP rounds. So, I think stuka pilots have to score more hits to T34 than AT guns like pak40 or 88mm.
But stuka can only carried 12 rounds for 37mm. Rudel was great pilot, but i don't think he can destroyed 500+ tanks...
stuka g was appear in combat at 1943. There are few BT-5, BT-7 in combat and they were almost replaced by T34, T70.가져온 총으로 춤을 춥니다.
총당 12발 -- 24발. 그리고 비행기는 가장 자주 기동하여 탱크의 약점을 공격할 수 있으며 제한된 탄약을 최대한 활용할 수 있습니다.
그 시대의 많은 러시아 탱크가 BT-5/-7이었고 장갑으로 유명하지 않다는 것을 기억하십시오.
나는 Rudel의 주장이 정확하거나 부정확하다는 의견이 없습니다. 나는 단지 37mm가 "정말 약한 대포"라는 주장이 의심스러울 수 있다는 점을 지적하고 있습니다. 그것은 높은 총구 속도를 가졌고 크기에 비해 상당히 많은 탄을 쐈습니다. 이상적이었나? 아니오. 그러나 37과 88을 아무리 비교하더라도 Stuka에서 88을 얻지는 못할 것입니다.

I repeat, I didn't say 37mm can't destroy the tank. It just says that 37mm will consume more ammunition than other cannons, and Stuka's ammunition was not enough.
If you hit the rear and top of the T34, naturally 37mm penetrates the T34's aromor. But there is an engine instead of tank crews and ammunition depot, and the tank that the engine is destroyed does not burn down or explode in a fire. If it is recovered, it will be able to be put into the war after the repair.
An abandoned, undamaged tank is a great prize, you can use it yourself. But that wasnt what the claims were.The Germans weren't not looking for a video game scene of complete destruction. A tank that no longer mobile and had the crew bailed out more than enough to count for a kill. It wouldn't be used that day or for a few days to come. If there was a fuel fire or ammunition fire so much the better.
In North Africa both sides were shooting up tanks until they got smoke or fire. The 37-50mm guns didn't blow things up very well. The Anti tank gunners on both sides had been tricked too may times by tanks that took a couple of hits, stopped and went doggo (played dead) while the crew tried to figure out where the enemy AT guns were. Once they located the gun or dug in tank the swung their turret onto the target and opened fire while the target had started engaging a new target.An abandoned, undamaged tank is a great prize, you can use it yourself.

Striking at an angle also increases the thickness of the armor.In regards to the BK3,7 cannon versus armor:
The Ju87G and Hs129 enjoyed success against Soviet armor because they were diving on sloped armor (when not attacking the rear or top of the tank).
Sloped armor is resistant to enemy projectiles because of it's incline, causing the projectile to deflect away (in most cases) with little harm to the tank.
However, with an airborne cannon, it's projectiles are striking that tank's armor squarely, an angle that the tank was not designed to counter.
