This is a WW2 frame of reference. I chose the most obvious example. The point remains the same, you're blaming the target, instead of those taking the cheap/weak shots.

That is no reasonable example it's just over the top drama.

D.520 is one of those interesting aircrafts I really like. Its an early war aircraft for one, the bulgarians actually loved the firepower of the 20mm hub cannon, interesting to note one of the chief test pilots for the D.520 for the Germans made the same exact note - except it was completely ignored.
Always wondered what happened if Mauser would of duplicated or replicated the Hispano gun.

The Dewoitine D.520 was the best fighter aircraft the French Air Force had during WWII. It was powered by a Hispano Suiza 12Y45 V12 engine, which produced 910hp and enabled a top speed of 529km/h.  

   Its armament included a 20mm HS404 cannon and two 7.5mm machine guns on each wing. At the opening stages of WWII, D.520s fought fiercely against the Luftwaffe and their pilots claimed more than 100 aerial victories. After the armistice in 1940, the D.520 was extensively used by the Vichy Air Force as well as Free French units until the end of the war.

109s had hub cannon later on and its value was recognized as such. Germans didn't need to copy Hispano as they already had as good, or better, weapon coming, that is MG151/20, and later on MK103 and MK108. It is these cartoon games that makes you notice differences between them that did not exist in reality.

I would rather have the IAR 80 than the D.520.

The IAR might actually be decent in MW and LW, and undoubtably had more impact on the war.

You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.
