Italian .50 SAFAT is not anywhere near other HMGs, low RoF, low muzzle energy - still concentrated burst can make plane parts break, it is possible to shoot off a Hurricanes tail or wing, but usually you get unspectacular kills - fuel tank/pilot/controls/control surfaces/engine dead.

Please test UB HMG against planes you thought invulnerable against .50 cal. If I am not totally mistaken, you can break Fw190/F4U/F4F wings with it.
