Why no E4s

Frankly I never heard any ace having shot 3 German bombers in a raw. I rather inclined to think otherwise when I see those pictures of crash landed bombers filled with thousands of bullets holes.

I read once, that one US pilot shot down 5 Ju52 in a row (ok, it's not a bomber, but big-birds ). The yankee catch them during landing, and shot them all.
I don't find now, who was the pilot...

Our 2nd server has E4's and SpitIIa's (both limited) but they are there.

12.7mm is not 7.7mm : twice the diameter-> 4 times the kin effect and 4 times more volume for explosives

During the north african campaign, Ju52 crossing the med were slaughtered en Masse

Yep, you're right.
(below 20mm, all is "small caliber" for me )
