One thing I would say is that you cant expect to destroy aircraft easily. Looking at wikipedia (not the best source I realise) I saw this on "disaster" for Stukas:

Quote:
28 Stukas of I./StG 77 were attacked by No. 43 and 601 Squadron sporting a force of 18 Hurricanes. The escorting Bf 109s from II./JG 27 were flying too far away and could not stop the Hurricanes making an attack before the Ju 87s made their dives. Three Ju 87s were shot down in exchange for a damaged Hurricane, hit by return fire.
So when 18 hurricanes attacked without fighter opposition, they downed 3 aircraft. One on one, especially from behind, possibly shouldn't see a destroyed aircraft, despite the hits you managed.
