I think it's fair enough not to expect to kill the pilot from a six o'clock attack but a prolonged burst of mg/cannon fire should rupture lines, snap cables destroy moving parts and wreck flight surfaces. In short damaged ac should be out of the fight and crew should be getting ready to bail out. At the moment such damaged ac are often capable of continued high g evasive maneuvers and some times still deadly to the attacker.
