Here, not really.

Fantastic victory in France. Heavy Armor is useful, then, I guess. Will you bomb Britain with V-rockets?

Quite the opposite. The effectiveness diminished when the tankists were forced to take cover, but this deprived the armoured formations of their crucial advantage - mobility. Air-power could be more effective than anti-tank guns, especially when the latter had to deal with thick armour or couldn't get close enough to fire at the weak spot. Aircraft didn't have such problems and there was not much that tanks could do against them, either.Also, of course, air power was rather ineffective against tanks

As I said, it was a psychological effect, not actual physical harm. Anti-tank rockets and bombs were just far too inaccurate to have any effect.
2,530 combat missions claiming a total of 2,000 targets destroyed; including 800 vehicles, 519 tanks, 150 artillery pieces, a destroyer, two cruisers, one Soviet battleship, 70 landing craft, 4 armored trains, several bridges and nine aircraft.
Do you think you will hold Italy?
why do you need strategic bombers??
Good stalling effort in Minsk and Lwow. The problem is that stalling doesn't help much... The more you wait , the more divisions the Red Army will pull. And normally they don't wait that much either
How much did the frontline move since september?
I beg to differ. In several occasions German counterattacks in the west were stopped thanks to concentrated air attacks.
The last offensive of the German army in the west was planned to be during a time when close air support was not available due to the weather.
And this is what one man did with a Stuka (and a Fw-190)
