According the infallible Wikipedia, SG1 was flying HS 129s against tanks with Fw 190s dropping "anti personnel bombs on Soviet infantry at Kursk.

Never heard of the skip bombing technique use in Russia against tanks, but all that means is I never heard of it. I know we used the tactic against Japanese shipping in the south pacific, with some success.
