Well, to shoot down a good number He-111 it's almost a mission impossible with the mark I Hurricane, but when it comes to shoot down Stukas, there's no plane better than the Hurricane.
You only have to close up, aim at the middle section (with the plane leveled) and open fire. Quickly one (or both) wing fuel tanks will be set on fire, and or the crew will jump or the tanks will explode.
I honestly prefer doing this with the Hurri than some cannon-armed Spitfire. As I don't have any mods I don't know how this work on the Mark I.
I was wondering, how will planes behave under .303 fire - will the Emils resist like Panzers, as in IL-2, or will fall like flies like in some movies and guncams? I strongly felt that the .303 shots were almost ineffective in IL-2, and that some movies put them stronger than a direct 88 shell. In some movies and guncam films, planes lost control and fall with only a single, but well aimed, burst. In IL-2 it takes many long and well aimed bursts to bring some fighter down. And if we are talking about bombers, you might empty your guns without even setting it on fire...
