Part of the problem is, that currently no matter what you change in te loadout screen (convergence), it doesn't save for later use. Fortunately the devs are aware and this bug is beeing worked on.
The important thing for both sides (cannons on the 109 and wing-mgs on the British Fighters) is to hit them in your convergence range.
Once they are at the proper default range, I can light them up in no time with a 1-3 second burst usually.
One thing you may want to consider is shooting without using the zoom but only the gunsight view. not only does that make engine management easier and help your SA, but it helps in making your movements smoother. Many people simply overcompensate to much for the aircrafts small movement when zoomed in.
There is an article over at simhq covering how the gunsights work on allied and axis planes in WW2, you guys may want to search for that. (Didn't provide link since I am not sure if linking is allowed).
Cheers,
