Great point! Cannons have much lower velocity to their fire also, so their accuracy is not as good as .303s. That was pretty much the philosophy behind American fighters being armed with the Browning .50. Also if I'm not much mistaken, and please correct if I am, the RAF used Hurricaines more for downing bombers as the Hurricaine was armed with cannons at an early stage.

That being said I agree with the OP, a game as ambitious as BoP should strive for historical accuracy, even at the expense of easier kills.
