Weapons Loadout Tutorial
Cliffs of Dover Blitz/Desert Wings:Tobruk has a neat little little feature that allows you to choose the weapons loadout of the aircraft you are flying. It's more than any other flight sim, as it actually allows you to choose each individual round in every gun's belt.
You can customise literally every gun on every aircraft. It's not just the fighters, but also the bomber's guns. You can literally tune them up with the most effective loadout.
To access the loadout options, select your aircraft and then choose LOADOUT.
Select the GUNS tab, and click on the first round on the MAIN BELT and delete them all. Replace the rounds as shown in the screenshots below by clicking on the relevent round in the BULLETS column, then click add. When you have finished one gun, click NEXT GUN to move onto the next gun.
Also uncheck the DEFAULT CONVERGANCE box, and change all the convergences to 200/200 as shown below. This sets the convergence to 200m - equivalent to 230 yards. This was a common convergence used in Allied fighters in WWII and allows for the most effective and sparing use of the limited numbers of rounds you have.
Once you have finished changing the loadout, choose SAVE AS and then give it a name. Once you have saved this aircraft type's loadout, it will automatically set the guns to the saved type.
You will have to do this for every variant of the aircraft.

GERMAN FIGHTERS
For German Fighters, I have no experience in those, so I will defer you to a youtube video I found, which covers some of the Fighters. I would not advise you copy the loadouts for the Spitfire shown in this video. The experience and numbers of kills obtained by 334th pilots is testament to the loadouts for Spitfire and Hurricane listed above.
