I agree with all your points except this one. A big plane can take a lot of damage, especially from small caliber bullets, unless some of that damage hits a vital point. I don't find the bombers themselves to be difficult to shoot down - as long as I use historical tactics and aim for the cockpit, fuel tanks or engines.

If I'm going against a big (or tough) bomber using a plane armed with pellet guns, like a Ki-43 or Hurricane I vs. a TB-3 or B-24, I just have to get close and try to start a fire or kill the pilots.

What I do find unrealistic are the uncannily accurate gunners who have perfect situational awareness and seemingly limitless ammo, who can ignore G-forces and sometimes defy even death itself.
