Stuff doesn't burn unless there is heat, oxygen and fuel. Some sims (older ones) aircraft "blow up" when you shoot the tail off.... the increased damage modelling should result in more "realistic" incidence of explosion.

I think I read that the 109 had a system that filled the emty space in the fueltank with inert gas or that air was sucked out of it.
If this works, it should be prevented from catching fire on the first pass. It will take a while for fuel to run out an soak the rest of the aircraft.

Most of my kills in COD, have been pilot kills or team kills.
Convergense is the key in aircraft with wingmounted guns, especially if you only have light machine guns.
