I agree that is a question for the guys that wrote the code.
I have not noticed anything of the sort though. I have blown an A-20 in half with a lucky short burst from a kilometer away with a single 20mm cannon, and then I have seen ammo poured into close up targets and have had them intact enough to fly home and land.
On hard settings where you have to learn to make blind shots where the target is hidden by part of your aircraft while you are shooting, the only time you are going to be really accurate landing long shots would be head-on or from dead-six, which is going to change the damage compared to a shot taken while a target is taking fire laid down for it to fly through while it is crossing your path at an angle.
Even the amount of G forces the target is handling can make the difference on whether or not part of it breaks off while it is taking hits.
S!
