My research shows that at the beginning of the war incendiary bullets were in short supply for the RAF's .303 guns, but that by 1942 typical belting was 50/50 armor-piercing/some type of incendiary. This source shows that in 1944 German LMGs were also 50/50, while two out of three HMG bullets were incendiary: http://users.telenet.be/Emmanuel.Gus...n/fgun-am.html Since belting can't change from year to year in the game it's probable that the designers chose mid-war or late-war belting for the guns, when incendiary bullets were available and highly used. In that case half or even 5/6 bullets having incendiary capabilities is historically accurate. "You'll notice that there is no ball ammo in the mix for any of the guns listed. It isn't even modeled!" Was ball ammo used in air forces? I could only find references to armor piercing, incendiary, explosive/incendiary, tracers. "Different mission, same result:" There's those two or three arrows down low that could have gone through one of the two underfloor fuel tanks, #47 and #48 in the diagram you supplied, assuming the layout of the fuel tanks is the same in the 1830 and the 1820 engined versions.
