In the spit I use a 50-50 mix of Dewilde and AP (4guns one, 4guns the other) and I find it very effective when my shooting is good. One problem I'm having is keeping the plane steady in the vertical plane on the gun run, that makes it real hard to get enough ammo on target.
Simple fact of the matter is that no matter what ammo you use 303's are just not very good at tearing up airplanes. The German 8mm on the other hand while still a rifle caliber gun has a substantially heavier bullet (not to mention a very nice selection of ammo) so is capable of doing much (or at least some) more damage if you can get enough bullets on target with just 2 guns. As for the 20's the Germans agreed with us that they weren't very effective, that's why they were so quick to convert the E3's to E4's the minute the Mine Shell guns were available.
I think we're just going to have to get used to not so spectacular action at the other end of our guns until we get better ones. (that won't be so long for the Lufties)
