The reason for having unlimited ammo is to compinsate for the lack of the .303 machine guns armor peniterating power, and the lack of an ammo counter in most allied fighter aircraft.(Unlike there German counterparts)

Thats true but I prefer the Hurricane over the Spitfire as the Hurricane can take more damage the the Spitfires could. I also think that some people give too much credit to the Spitfire than the Hurricane, when you think about it there where more Hurricane squadrons than there where one using Spitfires.

I think we shouldn't touch the ammo.
Air victories are something you have to fight for and it is important to aim at the right spots. Switching to unlimited ammo would just lead to trigger happiness and a constant stream of metal, even more unrealistic than the weak performance of the guns. It is possible to down German aircraft with this armament. In real life the British didn't shoot down 3 planes per sortie. Learn to be satisfied with one. I mean we are playing a simulation and not a ego shooter.

I agree, though those German aircraft seemed a tad too indestructible, I mean, I did ram one of those Condors and it didn't even lose it's tail

Most of the time real pilots returned with no kill at all.

Yes I shot down that many in one mission. I keep a record of my kills to see if I can beat my old kill record of 357 Russian planes. Mission Number 51, Intercept, Kills 11, A/C Types LI-2, PE-2, YAK-1. 6 LI-2 killed, 4 PE-2 killed, 1 Yak-1 killed.

Got that right. But just because I use unlimited ammo don't think you still have to be a good shot to down an enemy plane. It still comes down to where you are, where he is, and whos faster on the trigger when it counts.
