Folks it's best not to get too caught up in this. Ammo is a trade-off. You can blow wings off of fighters without any cannons if you use the beobachtung rounds but they're rubbish for penetrating canopies and engines.
Ultimately it's the pilot that makes the difference. If you're dying a lot it's because you are using unsuitable tactics when you engage, or are being caught at a disadvantage.
Stop going for head-ons, start checking 6. Stop lone-wolfing it, start bringing a wingman.
