1st film auger.ahf was done with 4 .50s and 25% fuel with DTs in me little p51. Watch the hits on the Spit across center cockpit area. Convergence set at 300. I augered into ground in blackout on 3rd kill,killing my engine. Cockpit area seems to be the right mark for instant kill.
http://mypage.direct.ca/w/wardog/auger.exe Now the next film shows angles not agreeable to the 4 .50s arrangment again,in p51. At least with the 1st Spit. You can see how wide the spread of .50s hit him on the 1st pass. Same on the 2nd pass,but i took a piece of his plane off & he managed to ditch. Compare that 1st spit with the next one. Also,i avoided HO with a Spit to see if 4 .50s could take out a F4U. They can. Last kill was a b26, i removed his wing bout the same time he got mine. But proves my point about .50s.. Get the angle,get the kill
http://mypage.direct.ca/w/wardog/b26.exe These films will self extract to the AH/Film directory.
This should give you an idea of why i got 6 kills in p38 with .50s only. Get the angle and go for the cockpit.
Now maybe we can get some realistic fixes instead of imaginary ones
