That's some great flying and shooting. I particularly like the way that both pilots use a hammerhead turn to reverse direction and come in for another pass. Both also use rudder extremely well to make fine adjustments in aim, and perfectly correct for deflection and bullet drop.

Of course, in both cases, there's almost no AAA fire.

Had those T-34s been equipped with turret-mounted MG, or if they had mobile AAA support, things might have been very different for the Stuka pilots. Also, human AAA gunners will understand that a Stuka headed into a stall turn is a nice, predictable, nearly immobile target and adjust fire accordingly.
