I don't have much difficulties downing planes with my Brownings with the exception of the Heinkel which is really very strong. But I think it is ok. Don't forget that downing a bomber was a team effort and it is supposed to be hard to shoot one down. Just read about the kill statistics during the Battle of Britain and you realize that the number of planes shot down each day is rather small compared to the number of planes in the air. Particularly when you look at the number of downed planes during one engagement. Very little and very often there had been an engagement with damages issued but no kill achieved and both sides flew home.

We had been spoiled too much by IL2 where the fire power was excessive imho and over-done me thinks. Just forget about IL2 and what was possible with this engine. It is a new game and I think it is more realistic concerning fire power.
