Although I agree that with many things to damage, spraying a burst of small calibre rounds over a target could be effective.

BTW my only complaint about cannons in '46 is that, last time when I played it, when you hit someone with a single round, he would either loose his wing, loose his rear fuselage, have his engine on fire or crumble into dozens of small triangles.
AFAIK this is not like it should be.

In CoD it will be possible to load each gun with different ammo, so I look forward to experiment a little .

I agree it will be much more interesting fighting in the Cliffs of Dover.

I've used the MK108 alot in the sim and it definitely does considerable damage, but I've seen many aircraft in the sim take several MK108's or other cannons and keep fighting. The smaller calibers can also be very devastating too when you fire at your convergence setting. I find most sim pilots are not very good shots and some don't completely understand convergence or deflection shooting.
