regarding the accuracy...i dont know if its true,but my game tells me that i have 45%.that is way more than i had in 1946.its easy to aim with the mgs in my opinion,but pretty hard with the cannons.and they dont seem to have as much effect.
but i think you really have to find the weak spots of each plane.it took me some weeks until i was able to get hurricanes to burn like a candle.
the first days they only began to smoke and finally the pilot bailed out.and only a few times i saw planes on fire.i was a bit annoyed because i loved the look of it.but now i know if you are at their six you have to aim slightly right or left of the fuselage.some short bursts and they are on fire.with the spits its a bit different.i still have to figure out how to set them on fire properly.
to rip off wings is still a miracle for me.it happens so barely, that every time i see it, im totally amazed.i think that its more easy when the enemy barrel rolls.its the only situation when i observed it happening at least.
