RE: Normandy 44 interdiction
Though the account given by Weber might indeed have happened, it does sound like a sequence of lucky hits instead of a representative air-to-ground attack. Particularly if the tanks caught fire.

I wonder how many bombs or rockets were dropped or fired for each destroyed tank. That is, actual destruction, not superficial damage or a bomb blast scaring the crew into bailing out.

I also wonder how many soft vehicles were actually destroyed (by damage to the engine, steering gear or wheels) by strafing. Though vulnerable, the actual critical areas of a truck are quite small compared to the size of a truck+cover. Holes in the cover or bed of the truck would just mean...holes in the cover or bed of the truck. Bad news for anyone in it, but not critical damage to the vehicle. Damage from crashes caused by drivers jerking the wheel when being strafed might cause more damage than the actual strafing run.
