I would also like to leave a comment here, don't assume that shooting from a dead 6 position is the best way to represent the true damage of the guns of an aircraft.
Yesterday on ATAG I was flying a spitfire Ia against the blue horde, and a full 1 second burst into an 109 who was climbing up was enough to kill the pilot and to send him down to the earth in flames. I always try to avoid ending up on someone's 6 when I'm fighting, how strange this might seem to some. I find it to be a very successful way of fighting.
Shooting cannon from a dead 6 position has so far not been very succesful, it's excessive recoil either makes the round jump over or beneath the target, and if it does hit the results aren't that spectacular, although M-geschoss should be quite effective. Again, coming in from an angle gives far better results.
