Re: How did the Rüstsatz system work?
Installation of cannon in the wing was normal on a great many WW2 fighters, and were generally omitted, once the choice became available, for reasons of agility rather than safety. Or at least, I don't recall ever encountering this argument before. A direct hit on a box of ammunition is unlikely to be any kinder to an aircraft wherever it is placed.
As for there being "A LOT" - great emphasis noted - of losses from this cause, could some actual numbers be produced to back this up? How did it compare with losses from other causes such as hits to the pilot or engine?
