I think it's perfectly reasonable to point out that a belt of 100% 8mm tungsten would most likely be historically inaccurate. That's fine I can understand that. Same with 100% 20mm AP or 100% 20mm HE. Generally speaking these ammo types were usually used in combination with others. However, even if they are used exclusively, and in a way that is not strictly historically accurate, you still have to hit the enemy to be effective. Moreover, with something like tungsten, you only really have an advantage if you can consistently hit the cockpit from the six or near six position. Honestly Buzz, unless you are suggesting these guys are using something other than skill (is that what you're suggesting?) to achieve those sorts of hits, I just think your blowing this thing completely out of proportion.
