you are looking at it the wrong way around, by arguing that only accuracy of gunnery matters and that the caliber/belting or explosive charge of the munition has little significance.
the discussion at the moment here is about the importance of having correct historical munitions loadouts for all aircraft in il2/BoB, and that those munitions damage effects on aircraft surfaces are modeled correctly.
imo the way to remove controversy and speculation, is for those values to be openly given, in the same ways we need accurate values for airspeed, climb rate, etc... Not providing that information leads to speculation of incorrect values being used, and that has now been proven to be the case for some aircraft/munitions by the people who have opened the code for il2.
