If by kick *** you mean leave you with a pile of assists.  I flew the Spit I exclusively for a week and I had a lot of trouble downing anybody, even at convergence.  And if you think I was just praying and spraying, I had a 16% hit rate, which seems to be pretty good for fighter jocks in this game.

I love the Hurricane Mk I and the Spit Mk I, but there's a reason why they put Hispanos on them.

If you can't kill with spit or hurricane 8x .303s you're doing it wrong. I racked up 8 kills in a hurr1 in LWA just base defending once... No rearms. Was on my way to land when puffy ack nailed me over runway. This was against the super tough targets like corsairs, FM2s, F6Fs, TBMs, etc. I still had rounds left when I was landing, too!

Set convergence at 200 for all guns.  Shoot at that range and then compare. 

Other than that I have no proof but, I am pretty certain that the internet eats rounds via lost packets or something like that.  I have had times where consistently a few pecks and parts were melting off my targets.  The status quo for me though is a very different story, especially with 50 cals.

is that so?

Ive done a fair share of long bombing runs, racking up to at least 30k in damage points and bailed about a sector away from the runway because i was that bored from flying back. if something takes too long i jump out.

The situation of the fight is totally irrelevant to the fact that .303s are perfectly fine, IF you use them properly. He's probably spraying at 1K and wondering why he's not getting kills like with Hispanos. I'm not saying they're all that great, but I *am* saying "They aren't useless, as you suggest!" (saying it to the OP, mind you)
