Hmz, so the cannons are equal,but the spit has 2 and fire faster
So ehm, maybe a stuppid question, but where does the 109 exel the spit in? (dont say speed because thats a tiny difference)

EDIT:
I just found this table http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaver...n/fgun-ta.html
More or less half way, there is the spit mk IX with the 4 x 7.7mm and 2x 20mm and exactly under the IX, there is the G-6. This G-6 is armed with a 20mm cannon and 2x 13mm.
So those 2 are have the same armament as the IX in game, and, lets say the 109 F-4 (the G-6 in game has gunpods).

If you look at the table, the weight of fire of the 109 is HIGHER. It is 2.46 kg per second, and the spit has 2.24 kg per second.
Looking at this, I would asume that the 109's armament should kill quicker than the spit's.

Do I just have a lot of bad luck with the 109/ luck with the spit? or is the armament of the 109 much weaker than the spits

Well there are some odd balled 20mm cannon rounds like 20x102mm 20x82mm(Which was the German caliber I believe used with their 20mm Mauser cannons?) But I think that most of them were the same weight, just a bit different in dimension?

EDIT: The 20x82mm was not the German cannon round. My mistake, but the Yak and La 20mm cannons were 20x99R the German Mauser was 20x135mm.
