Thanks,
That makes sense. Although shooting off a wing/elevator will disable a plane more than 100 rnds of 50cals, the 100 rnds will do more damage. I quit trying to 'kill' planes and now try to shoot their wings/elevators off, especially bombers.
That also allows one to 'steal' kills. Shooting a tumbling plane as it falls will give you the kill.
