Heinkels of steel?

Big glass cockpit up front.
Attack from their 12 OC and see how ineffective your bullets are.

I think it is all right to have it difficult to bring down. It was so in real life me thinks.

Very effective indeed! Always gratifying to see that "pilot killed" text pop up after a nice head-on pass.

I've also managed to cause catastrophic damage by putting a 2 to 4 sec burst at convergence range on the engine nacelle/wing root area.

Flying on near-full real though... I'm sometimes lucky to bring down one or two in the quick mission. Other times I tend to go home empty handed

I also have to ask.. since I primarily fly the Hurricane, which of the available bullets is HE? De Wilde? I would like to optimize my loadout for bomber busting.

I didn't think the loadout changes were working in quick missions.

.303 B MkIV incendiary is the Dixon/De Wildes.

As far as I can recall, there were no HE .303 rounds. Dixon/De Wilde rounds were incendiary.
