That'd just be a guess but with a system as complex as IL-2s...that'd be my assumption.

If we go by feel...ever since the MG151/20 got its proper belting in place it became the best 20mm cannon available...especially in terms of power. Its tied in my books for #1 most destructive 20mm cannon in IL-2. Surely there is more to it...

I think you're right, the damage model should be reviewed also. I read that the in the game code the damage radius of some 12.7 guns is 4 times less than other ones (e.g. 20 cm vs. 5 cm), with the same type of bullet. Can anyone confirm this?
