The Luftwaffe was shooting cannons in the 109's. That is a heck of a lot of firepower compared to .303's.
So.. no doubt the Uber arguments will start in some of the first postings after the SOW release.
If anyone wants to get a little taste of what the BOB SOW will be like I suggest getting the BOB II WOV 2.08 version. You will really get a feel for what it will take to be combat effective in the BOB SOW, especially flying The Spits and Hurricanes.

The original post is about FM changes for 4.09, not SOW.
As to RAF combat effectiveness in SOW:BoB, much will depend on a more detailed DM then we currently have in '46. One that will allow a more accurate portrayal of machine gun damage.
