Funnily enough, with just the smoketrails and custom sounds from 4.12 my confidence in killing stuff with the .50s has soared. Previously the American setup of wing mounted .50s were a bit hit-and-miss (literally) for me, but I've suddenly had a huge jump in accuracy and overall lethality since the patch.

Even the MG131s and the Ho103 can be used to really put the hurt on. You need a little more specific aim to say the engine or a fuel tank to really put the hurt on quickly but a Ki-61 with four of them for example can make one pass and cripple a P-40 or P-39 and seriously damage a Corsair or Hellcat. The Browning .50cals or the Berezin UB are the stars... as you say even two .50cals in the P-39s nose are absolutely deadly.
