Pilot kill after pilot kill. How do they do it??

"It allows players to load up 2000 rounds and 60 seconds worth of firing into the E-1,..."

Well sort of. The MG 17 has a cyclic rate of about 1200 rounds per minute. The two cowling guns have up to 1000 rpg. This should give you about 50 seconds of continuous fire, at least in theory. The 17s in the wings had up to 500 rpg. This would give you about 20 seconds of fire. So, in reality, just like the E 3/4, the E 1 has just two weapons that should provide more than about 20 seconds of continuous fire.

"The game has created a weapons system for the 109's which isn't based on any kind of historical reality. The Germans were converting their MG armed E-1's as fast as they could into cannon armed versions because the cannon versions were more effective. 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."

The ammo issue is clearly an anomaly, but it's hardly the only one. Others include the ability of Spits to shrug off catastrophic cannon damage and continue fighting, or to lose an elevator with no apparent reduction in turning performance. Unless you're suggesting that individuals are actually using the tungsten ammo anomaly, in conjunction with some sort of aim bot, I really struggle to see why its such a big deal. If you allow someone to assume a good shooting position on your six then chances are, tungsten or no tungsten, you're unlikely to make it home.

I have to agree and disagree at the same time with this statement. Holes in my wing, control surfaces shot off? Time to make a run for it, you cannot effectively fight with such damages, as your turning ability is extremely FUBAR.
Have you ever tried to outturn an experienced 109 driver, when he notices that you are in trouble? Probably not, because you are dead before long.

At the same time, there is definitely something wrong with the Spitfires DM.
How many times was i set on fire? Never!

S!

I was set on fire twice so far when my engine got shredded and I saw orange flames left and right of my cockpit.

never had that either, usually for me it´s one of 3 scenarios:

1. wing ripped to shreds -> B/O
2. controls gone -> B/O (i´m not thinking of any particular 6./JG26 pilot, now do i david )
3. PKed -> RIP

You may have forgotten that in these days the following occurs very often:

4. Water/Oil Radiator is perforated/damaged leaking and you have to B/O

[FFCW_Urizen]

you are right, forgot that one
