I dont think this can be proven, except by a dev telling us if damage decreases over distance.
For me it is even still unclear for the IL-2 PC version.. and no one seems to know for sure.

From experience I would say that it does matter. The change of killing someone with a short burst over a short distance, is way bigger than over a long distance. And with this I mean, hitting the whole burst in both cases.

But still it depends on where you hit them.. if it was the cannon or MG that hit.. I dont think we as players, can ever prove with 100% certainty, if it is true or not. not without a dev
