I. How should we know without any film? Your description isn't meaningful enough for any analysis.
It's a whine, not a bug report.

II. If you film your sorties, you might even see yourself what's "wrong"

III. Just because your "fire 250 20mms into him" that doesn't mean they all hit. In fact the average player gets only about 7 hits, IF he does hit at all.

IV. With a bit of luck, a fighter can indeed take even a few 20mms round, if the enemy fails to score hits vs critical components and the hits are dispersed over the whole plane.

V. "Ramming" generally doesn't work and will only take YOU down most of the time. For a succesful ram you would have to generate a collision on his Front End (screen), not yours. Often hard to do without clairvoyance skill ;)
