Got 3 pilot kills today. Every time the Spit VIII was round about 500 meters behind me. Only a single salve and I was dead. Its frustrating ... you have the feeling you are sitting naked in the sky. Never got so many pks in a focke wulf. Normally a Spit can sit 100 meters behind you and shoot on you. You will get a lot of damage but the pilot is alive.
WE WILL TAKE THE DAMAGE MOD OF THE A-4 as it is in the original slot for the A-3. Perhaps later when we have enough knowlege about managing the damage model we can test it again. I prefer to sit alive in a smoking plane than to be dead.

Maybe 20 mm cannon shells are hitting the sides of the cockpit or wing roots and the explosions spread fragments that hit the pilot through side walls of the cockpit or the canopy. At least I've managed to kill the pilot of a stock FW-190A-4 even in my I-153P when the FW was zoom climbing fast and the distance was already at least 500m.
You can check the situation easily by setting Arcade=1 in the conf.ini and shooting at AI FW's in Spitfire offline. In Arcade=1 mode arrows are drawn showing every hit and the fragments of cannon shells. Just shoot as long as PK text appears and check which arrow hits the pilot.
Quick examples with the FW-190A-3 in Unified Installer 1.1, I was shooting in Spitfire Mk.IX 25 lbs:
Pilot kill with two hits, one from behind and the other by the fragments of 20mm hit in wing root:
Pilot still alive after three hits into the armor plate, rolled quickly after those hits, so was not even badly wounded:
Notice that a fragment from a middle wing cannon hit flew between the pilot and his seat.
