...bullets from Fighters of Battle of Britain
...
15mm MG 151 (15x96) (Bf109G)
20mm MG 151/20 (20x82) (He 162)
...

The Bf 109G wasn't involved, and I'm certainly glad the He 162 wasn't! The Battle of Britain was in 1940. Try to at least think, and do a little research before posting.

Every time I see those munition comparisons I get a strong "wow" effect. Despite seeing it before. The difference is just so enormous visually.

Does all this mean that the Bf 110 is going to have some major firepower vs the Hurricanes and Spitfires? Especially being nose mounted with no convergence problems.

I think the Hurricane have a good center armament, but not for be a bomber hunter. The Spitfire have a ugly bad and not strategic position of the 8 0.303. Maybe if they put the same config that Hurricane armament, this could be perfect.

The difference with the real 110 was that it's rate of roll was very inferior to any single engined fighter, because it's two engines, which are a lot of its weight and a lot of torque too, were relatively very wide from its centre of gravity.

I do this myself, soo, if some of you find any error, I dont will sorry!

correctly one must set Bf109F2 for the 151/15 anf Bf109F4 or F2 field-mod for 151/20.

How's this for an idea, although I suspect it would have already been proposed. How about rescue planes for downed pilots. if you're shot down and floating in the middle of the sea / ocean, the AI sends a float plane to rescue you. This would make good use of any float planes .. other than targets or anti-shipping.

just an idea.
