Any reason to use Ball Ammo?

Good point, Robo

I'm currently testing various combinations of ammunition, researching I found this reference:

Another source for the Battle of Britain armament gives four guns with ball, two with AP and two with incendiaries (presumably Mk VI) with four of the last 25 rounds being tracer (presumably Mk IV incendiary/tracer) to tell the pilot he was running out of ammunition.

As you talked about the distance of what works in game and in real life I doubt ... what do you think?
