Almost time aircraft is very fit. Take the mig 2xshvak and manage to fire in the fuselage and see by your own.
When flying mig i anchieve more pk than flying another plane. I suggest you fly the mig more often and try. When flying against migs i got pked, when flying it i get pk more often. Maybe piercing ammunition is better. I do not known.

I fly the MiG quite a bit actually... and no I don't have at all the same experience.
What may be the case is that Spitfires have cannons and materially destroy the target aircraft before the chance of a PK. Also because of convergence there is less chance of a concentrated fuselage hit as more rounds hit the wings.
The ShKAS does have a high rate of fire (higher than any other light machine gun) so maybe the chances elevate slightly.
