It's been estimated that it took, on average 800 rockets or 3500 bombs to hit a tank sized object in battle field conditions.

Air attack was much more effective in constraining movement of POL (fuel and lubricants), ammo and supply than it was in actually stopping armor.

Supply vehicles are extremely vulnerable to strafing attacks. Strafing is easily the most accurate and effective means of ground attack available to fighter-bombers in WW2. Armor is virtually impervious to it.
