This is what one of the first technical testversion looks like - we're not talking about a release candidate or something.

No I realise that feurefalke, that was why I said that those re-satureated pictures looked better as it shows what can be done.

Nearmiss, you are right about the .303's but they were fairly effective in the Battle of Britain because the luftwaffe weren't using armour plating on all planes at that stage (well, at least the heinkels anyway). As long as a pilot got in close, a good 3-4 second burst could do the job. If anyone has played BoB2 wings of victory then the .303's in that are perfectly recorded. Although, as you said, they weren't that good (I've seen pictures of heinkels which have landed with hundreds of bullet holes from the .303's) they are wrongly recorded in il-2.
