Kingcobradude, you might want to study up more. You're young yet, so you may not know that all bullets are different. Pistol bullets are often very weak In aces high they would be a mere fraction of the stopping power of "peashooter" 7mm guns on some early war planes.
The .45 caliber weapon is a larger diameter, but slower moving round. It was used because it imparts more energy/damage into a human as it enters them. This means it has much less penetration. They were point-blank weapons. More than once, a german soldier has run across a part of a battlefield and been shot at by Tommy guns with no effect. One kraut even found spent .45 rounds in his cuffs and pockets, and had some bruises where they hit.
They are never (repeat, NEVER) goin to damage a plane, a prop, anything on the planes in AH with any number of hits unless you're literally standing on top of one and he's not moving. Even then you only "might" hurt the pilot if you unload a clip. There is a reason the .45 is not used anymore in modern law enforcement.
That's totally ignoring the fact that it's foolish to pretend this ever happened in WW2. I won't spoil your fun, but I will say if you research Bf-109s and the tropical variants you might find a little more fuel to your fire. I just hope you absorb some knowledge in the process
