I disagree about the number of hits... Although that B-17 took a pounding it was not hit as much as it takes to light a B-17 on fire, typically, in IL-2. Certainly the gunnery would need to be more accurate but in the couple of seconds that this Bf110 was firing he hit both port and starboard wings, engines, the tail section and the fuselage.
I remember watching that before and wondering the same thing about the lack of gunner response. But the ball turret doesn't look like it's doing anything at all. Just hanging downwards. So maybe everyone is right... the plane is already abandoned/dead.
