THis was so pilots could get in close, fire off a single burst and disengage. Hurricane pilots were most noted for this, as the gunners on German aircraft were deadly and no hurri pilot wanted to hang around trying to "aim" at longer ranges.

I think it is a bit different for different planes - but I don't know.
Actually, Pavel Kulikov is the game who knows for sure , you can ask him (http://forum.yuplay.com/index.php?showforum=7 ).
Right now, the game is released, and all details are public.

anyone have problems scoring hits with La-5 / La-7 as compared to the 109 series? It feels and looks different, almost like the convergence is off.

Both models should have 2 × 20 mm ShVAK cannons.. which were solid from everything I can gather.

Almost seems like the muzzle velocity on the rounds is very low or something. I can never get the lead right after flying other planes.
