Yes indeed, it is still a bullet, however the p40's "roughness" is not realy modeled well in aces high,nor for any air craft granted long range shots always do max damage,not depending on power,speed of the bullet closeing on its target,the angel..and how thick the metal/armor is where the bullets hit.
the "airframes" can suck up some damage,but x2 20mm to a zekes wing is the same to a p47's 38's and so on. "loss of plane parts/death"
point being, your 7.7 did max damage no matter the range or angel,where in all reality at 800+ out..your 7.7 would make a dent on the skin of a p40, nothing more.
But granted you probably were basicly flying right up there tail pipe 200- yards "zeke vs p40b" with your 7.7, its no wounder they blew up.
But yes, i do agree with you, even a 7.7 can kill someone in a few hits.
