a short burst from the 20mm?

The Germans uses a 20mm for their fighters. But it was a slow firer. The Spit had 50s. That was a big advantage for the Germans. OTOH, the Germans never went to drop off fuel tanks, which would have given them a huge advantage in the Battle of Britain, where time over England was severely restricted due to lack of fuel.
