why is gunnery so much more difficult in clod than in 1946?

I think I read somewhere that the collision boxes for the bullets and planes are smaller in COD too.
I have noticed IL2.46 seems way too easy after playing COD. I played a mission on IL2.46 and shot down 5 hurricanes and 2 spitfires before my bf109E4 ran out of ammo!! That would be impossible in COD.
Also the Browning .303 and the MG17 .312 rounds are not very powerful, just rifle caliber.
Il2.46 you often flying planes with large canons and 50cals...
