OK, was able to flame quite a few Heinels and Stukas with the G50. Then used the 109 and flamed some Stuka using only the nose MG's.

Now differences with Hurricane:

If Hurricane hits the vulnerable spot (fuel tanks for example) it does not burn - it does kaboom immediately; because you hit it with 4 / 8 MG's at once (instead of two of 109 or G50).
It's more difficult to hit vulnerable spot with Hurricane; ideal distance seems 180/170m in terms of convergence, if you go any closer the guns do not converge at one single spot anymore.
However at 180m aiming and hitting vulnerable spot is difficult as you are still far away - and if you are inside 150m difficult to hit a particular spot as the guns will hit left and right of where you aim.

De Wilde and Incendary work fine, try it on a Wellington, the fabric starts to burn easily all over the plane.

Maybe another odd thing is that you can easily get thin white 'smoke' coming out of the wings - fuel leak I would say. But if you clobber than wing heavily with De Wilde and Incendary afterwards this seems not to result in fires.
Those wingtanks were not really small targets either:
