Why is your only threshold for realism whether or not the unit existed? That's such an dumb cutoff for deciding what's accurate or not
Did stukas and hawkers exist? Sure. How often did they kill or even damage tanks? Almost never. It was so rare that it's not even worth mentioning as a reliable option. And yet they do so reliably in coh2
How about soviet AT overwatch? Are you going to tell me that because it's possible for artillery to kill tanks that means that an ability which rains down shells on tanks with perfect accuracy is realistic?
You not given a single reason why these things aren't related. You just say they aren't and expect people to agree
Not only are you completely stubborn, but have 0 serious knowledge of ww2.
In fact tanks died
alot from artillery barrages and that's the main reason allies pushed through armored SS battallions during the Normandy Landings in 1944:
OKH never allowed for truly flexible defenses to be manned and as a result they had tanks roaming around North France to reach the frontline where they got picked up by naval artillery barrages. It is estimated that around 1k tanks lost or got ultra damaged this way. So yeah, it happened quite often.
Also, P51 mustangs, IL2 and Stukas could rape the fuck out of every medium armor in existence. Especially the P51s.
I would suggest starting with the normie books:
D-Day by Beevor and moving on to more hardcore stuff. You seem intent on proving everybody wrong that you miss the facts.
