There was another point that may have helped Mr Rudell while flying the 87G.
When your side is deffending, you get a target rich environment, and... early warning!
This same early warning isn't available to the attacking side, unless they deploy a ridiculous amount of fighters all along the front line, like on the western side. With also a far stretch front line than on the eastern front.
He should be very unlucky just to pick the few freie jagds missions developed by the russians before 1944, on the wider front of the war.
He stopped flying the 87G after this wasn't healthy anymore.
Also, tanks damaged on an aborted penetration, may end being destroyed by their own crews.
Say, He got extremely lucky, killed the column commander, and the rest just fled from combat, putting their vehicles on fire. Rudell destroyed a whole tank column... who knows!
War isn't just some simple hell, it is a very bureaucratic, and chaotic hell!
