I think honestly that if you feel the other guy's ammo is making the difference, you need to re-evaluate your flying. I never said my overall victory rate has increased, only that the percentage of pilot kills is higher. Bouncing an unaware enemy or getting good position is always going to trump having ammo that someone considers to be "uber".

Besides, it's a trade-off. AP rounds are great for canopy and engine cowling, but awful for blowing off wings. There are other, better suited rounds for that sort of work.
