What about hitting the Russian line in areas away from the Kursk Salient? I like the Manstein tactic. The Russians seemed to overextend quite a bit. But if the line could be hit in weak areas the Russians would have to reinforce and slow their offensive. However tactical retreats would be the order of the day and this of course would not be to Hitler's liking. Hitlers inability to adapt to the flow of the battlefield pretty much doomed any chance of victory or possible negotiated peace.
