Try attacking Bliss's armoured depots on ATAG. He's got so many tanks and AA trucks, that's its death trying to dive bomb/glide bomb them. If you get under 500m, even at 600kph, you're pretty much dead. I try to drop my bomb on the AA columns, and come back in to finish the job after respawn.
AT guns, and tank guns fire at aircraft in this game. I can't get 88s to fire at tanks however.

German Tanks firing at Airplanes is not historical correct due to their limitation in Firing speed and the lack of AA Ammo also the tanks optical targeting system is not able to tracking such fast moving targets like planes and could not get a predicted position (of target).
Not to mention the moving speed of the Turret.
Panzer III and Panzer IV's shooting at Planes was technically impossible in reality.
The 3,7cm Pak 36 couldnt elevate more than +25° and the bigger problem is their wheeled gun carriage with its trail spade and splinter shield which limits the traverse to 30° to the right and left. Not even the Ammo was the same as the 3,7cm Pak 36 had a 37x249mm(R) Rimmed round and the 3,7cm Flak 18/36/37/43 had a 37x264mm Rimless Round.
Tanks firing at Planes in the Game....well....
