Talk about loss ratio!

Hahaha ok lets talk about it.

When finally comparing the scores by Bf 109 and Bf 110 units as mentioned above with the estimated true losses by each side for the period July-October 1940 it turns out that in approximate figures the authentic victories versus actual air battle losses where:

Spitfire 550 victories to 329 losses – a ratio of 1,7:1
Hurricane 750 victories to 603 losses – a ratio of 1,2:1
Bf 109 780 victories to 534 losses – a ratio of 1,5:1
Bf 110 340 victories to 196 losses – a ratio of 1,7:1

In October the Bf 110 units even had a ratio of 3:1 while the Bf 109 units dropped to 1,4:1.

Bf110 C-1 - 195 aircrafts built,
Bf110 C-2 - 359 aircrafts built,
Bf110 C-4 - 155 aircrafts built,
Bf110 C-5 - 100 aircrafts built,
Bf110 C-6 - 12 aircrafts built,
Bf110 C-7 - 39 aircrafts built,

Bf110 D-0 - 83 aircrafts built,.
Bf110 D-0/D-1 - 21 aircrafts built,
Bf110 D-0/D-3 - 12 aircrafts built,
Bf110 D-0/D-4 - 6 aircrafts built,
Bf110 D-2 - 73 aircrafts built,
Bf110 D-3 - 254 aircrafts built,

P.S. Tell me please, what Geschwader of Luftwaffe was the first who got 500 air-to-air victories, and when it happened?
