I've been trying this some more, using all KV-1 tanks as they appear to be the toughest.
Regarding tactics, with the Hs129-B3 (75mm) I come in for the attack run at 400-500m altitude with combat flaps, then nose down into a 30° dive. I keep the tank at the bottom of the gunsight as I go in, and only dip the crosshair briefly onto the turret to shoot when I'm at about 100m altitude. I don't claim to be an expert, but it seems to work most of the time. I do get the odd bouncer if I hit the wrong spot.
As RPS69 suggests, the -B2 with 37mm is ineffective. I ran out of ammo with no kills. I also tried a couple of runs with the Mosquito Tse-tse (57mm, I think). That fared as badly as the 37mm.
