if this had been say the fall of 1944 the holes would of been possibly 5 times the size with Minen I (phosphor) rounds which was becoming the typical norm for the Bf 110G-4 and Ju 88G's
What! You must be looking at your computer screenthrough a telescope! Look at the photo, I moved the damage next to the guy in the picture so you could get a better idea how big those holes really are!
