They need to be tweaked ever so slightly and maybe the Brownings of the RAF fighters too.
Keep up the great work!

As an old Stuka pilot from when it was first introduced to IL2 series way back ....... the MG17's were very effective at strafing columns, then after a few patches correcting the Stuka as it developed exploding wings and generally it got nerfed including its strafing ability, the MG17's were reduced to pea shooters the MG15 tail gun is pretty useless too.
Hopefully SoW will give correct power to weapons and it will stay that way and not have "balancing" patches
