So what are you using? And what is effective against bombers as well?

I appreciate any help, thank you!

You can not 'blow up the engine' of a 109. What you are probably referring to is setting the aircraft engine area on fire with the dewilde round. However, the 109 will fly around just fine as a fireball, such is the porked damage modelling we have currently.

The only real practical ways to down a 109 currently are a) Cause large leak in fuel tank, have him run out of fuel. b) Pilot kill (quite difficult for some reason despite hundreds of rounds raking the canopy area, not so with the 109 MG17). It is very difficult to disable control surfaces or cause damage to the engine.
