Answer 1

The Hawker "Hurricane", and early models of the Supermarine "Spitfire", were armed with eight Browning .303 inch machine guns, four in each wing. Each machine gun fired 1200 rounds per minute. Later Spitfires had just four of these machine guns, plus two 20 millimetre Hispano-Suiza cannon each firing 600 rounds per minute. But at 1/4 lb., one of these big cannon shells weighed ten times as much as a machine gun bullet.

Most of the Messerschmitt Me 109-E planes of this time had two 7.92 millimetre (.311 inch) machine guns, and two 20 millimetre cannon firing 520 rounds per minute.

If the Germans hadn't had tanks EQUIPPED WITH RADIOS (unlike the French), they would never have been able to win the battle of Sedan and the subsequent battles that subdued France in May 1940 (the French tanks were far superior to the Germans' at that time, but the French did not use them in coordination). If the British had not acquired the radar, they may well have lost the Battle of Britain. If the British had not decoded the Enigma, they may have been strangled by the Germans' use of U-boats. One difficulty with answering your question, though, is that while certain technology was key to success in battles, both sides had the technology (aircraft carriers or heavy bombers come to mind). Unique technology, other than the atomic bomb, wasn't decisive (V-1 and V-2 rockets and jet aircraft on the German side, for instance).

UPDATE: brainstorm is not quite correct - there were no Focke Wulf fighters in the Battle of Britain and the Germans also used Junkers aircraft - Ju87 Stukas and Ju88 bombers

bh8153: cannon-armed Spitfires did not take part in the Battle of Britain.

Answer 5

This was an air battle so they wouldhave been Messerschmidt and Focke Wulf fighters for the Germans who were protecting Heinkel and Dornier bombers up against Spitfire and Hurricane fighters for the British backed up by anti-aircraft guns

Answer 6

the Battle of Britian was an air war. British fighters against German fighters and bombers.
