Sorry, I understood that you were implying a 90° dive. It wasn't clear.
Anyway 30mm are easily penned by 37mm BK, on any angle in between 45° and 90° at around 300m

A damaged and temporarily disabled tank can be an advantage during a battle, but cannot be considered a kill, if it isn't captured. Otherwise, the same tank could be killed countless times. A kill means:
A) A completely destroyed tank.
B) A damaged, immobilized and captured tank.

I must disagree. The pilot job is done, it can't depend on the ground troops performance to be asigned as a kill.
Tank is abandoned, crew is badly injured, or temporarily out of comission, the attack is a kill.

Many kills were scored by pilots that never realized that they were that successful. Not all kills are spectacular.

The lack of sinc made bursts impossible, but how many bursts can you fire with the 12 rounds per gun of a Ju87G?

None, that weapon doesn't fire any bursts at all. It must always be a precision shot.

I agree with you. Ju87G was very slow and vulnerable, but at least it has a gunner. The Hs129 was even slower, had no rear defence and had a built-in enemy in the form of unreliable engines.

I don't know the Gnome to be unreliable, it makes it underpowered, but they weren't unreliable.

I would not take too seriously Rudel's tales. His victory tally is more than suspicious.

Propaganda inflated most probably, as some other british bomber pilots.
Anyway, my comment was supposed to be an irony.
