.303s can't shoot down a Betty?

A glance at the official records to show that many Luftwaffe formations were being decimated by a combination of the changes above speaks volumes by any standard.
As to the Betty v the .303 calibre round?
A high 10 or 2 oclock approach with either cockpit or wingroot as your aiming point usualy does it for me! :mrgreen:

I agree with trooper, zoom & boom works with bombers, because its hard for the gunners to get a bead on you. Chasing a bomber in level flight, is at best risky, but usually suicidal, because thats where most of the guns are facing. In the screenshots I posted on the first page, it might look like I'm following the bombers at first glance. But I'm actually pulling up after diving down, you can see the smoke trails above the Hurricane. :wink:
