This has been a problem in every WW2 flight sim I've attacked bombers in, notably the BOB section of the original MS CFS.
Attacking a large formation from the rear wasn't clever, attacking stragglers from the rear was do-able, which is why the big wing boyos liked head on attacks, that sort of attack broke up the formation, and made all of the bombers stragglers and easy targets. The Spitfire and Hurricane I think (unlike contemporary russian planes) had bulletproof windscreens, not enough to stop cannon shells, but plenty to stop rifle calibre bullets getting through.
The 12.5mm guns of the US bombers were very different from the 7.xxmm guns in use earlier in the war.
