^ I am wondering if the pak had any aim difficulties hitting targets coming head not only because of the armor being thickest there but some gunner adjustment problems on head on moving targets opposed to the side of armor moving targets.

At 1:40 notice the ricochet how straight it goes, I think there would be some wobble to it after it deflected, but anyways neat special effects.

in average it took 6 shots to KO a tank during WW2.
combat stress, wind, range mistakes, quality of ammunition all took their toll.

Interesting that the top American tank ace only had a kill count of 12 kraut panzers. Vast majority of his kills were against infantry...and how did he capture 250?  Maybe the krauts were all too happy to surrender to Yankees instead of facing possibility of getting re-deployed to east front where Russians wanted revenge.
