Durability of aircraft to MG (< 8mm) guns

[Biggs]

bring the x8 .303s in from 350-400 yards to 200-150 yards and from a spread to a point harmonization and they will do more than sufficient damage to enemy AC.

they will never give the explosive effects of cannon of course, but they will penetrate far enough and be able to create desirable results (explode ammo stores, fuel tanks, cut controls, damage engines etc) .

the gaping holes in that he111 image are just visual representations of damage and not necessarily literal hit marks from the .303s.

1c said that they are updating the DM to show actual bullet entry holes but they also have some 'generic' damage visuals as well.

If your worried about the damage output being too high because of seeing those big holes don't worry.. they are just visual representations of 'that part of the plane being damaged' not literal MG damage.
