Not for me. I've tried different loadouts and so far no flaming birds. It looks like the AP really chews up the skin but getting to the engine from behind and damaging a wing spar is not easy. IMHO

If this is the A10 of WWII, I'm wondering how the Hurri's and Spit's managed to down so many?

Just a thought: I wonder if the statistics for downing the Stuka's in increased volume happened after the introduction of the Hispano 20 mm.?

But I do so love the damage on larger bombers. To me it is so similar to the camera footage shown so many times of BOB IRL.
