Rudel was his last name, Hans Ulrich his forename. He flew Ju-87 and was indeed very successful when it came to blowing up tanks.

Whats a P400?

A.

The last major misconception about the P-39 is that it was an effective tank buster. In early August of 1944, while flying over a tank battle in Poland, Alexsandr Pokryshkin told the T-34 unit commander, "Our cannons will not penetrate tank armor." The Colt M4 had a muzzle velocity of only 600 meters per second and a low rating of 1.41 kilograms 'steel on target' per second. Theoretically, it could penetrate the armor of early panzer tanks, but only the top of the hull and turret. By comparison, the NS-37 37mm cannon had a muzzle velocity of 900 m/s and a steel on target rating of 3.06kg, enough to get through all but the Tiger's side or front armor. Also, instead of the M80 AP rounds that were required, the U.S. shipped the Soviets M54 high explosive shells, which were ineffective against tanks. Therefore, the P-39 was not used as a tank destroyer on the Eastern Front.

Of course, the Ju87 with the 'undersling' cannon would certainly have been as effective (if not more) as the P400's 37mm.

I notice in CFS3 that one of the threats that you get when you don't achieve your objective is, "You'll end up flying Stukas on the Eastern Front".

Obviously, not a 'envied job' (although I don't think any job on the Eastern Front was envied after the end of 1941), nor do I think flying a Stuka anywhere was particularly envied either.

By all accounts, they served their great 'Blitzkrieg' purpose as close support 'aerial artillery' during the early years, but as soon as the control of the skies was lost, they were a very vulnerable plane, an any front. 

Strange thing, the mind, especially when you have one like mine. Totally confused most of the time.
