Actually in real life a pilot would have been glad to down 2 enemy planes per mission. In fact they often didn't down anything at all throughout their entire career.

Yeah... isn't five kills the baseline to be considered an "Ace Pilot" ?? And as far as the mg's now it makes sense!! What caliber do the spitfires use?? Im quite curious. I'd also like to know if you do a career if you start out with a hurricane and can eventually move up to a spitfire or other British (Sense Im doing a British career) planes?
