The real life pilots complained when they had to fly the E-1's. The opposite is happening in CoD. Go on the servers, the guys who have the biggest scores are flying the E-1, and Blue flyers are converting wholesale into this plane from the E-3 and E-4.

Maybe there is nothing wrong with weapon system, but there is something wrong with DM? Repka server is very good for pointing this, because it is possible to fight against any plane there. If E4 hits another BF109 there, wings break off 8 out of 10 times. If E4 hits Spit, Spit gets damage in various parts, but still continues to fly and even soaks another 1-2 bursts of MG-FF/M before it crashes due to control damage or pilot death. It is easier and faster to kill pilot with tungsten rounds, than to kill Spit with mine shells, and that stimulates preference for E1. If MG-FF/M (or even MG-FF) had similar effect on Spit like it has on BF, no one would bother with E1.
