#1 Bf-109E-4 getting smoked by a Wellington III Ace gunner at medium range (~300 m when hit) from a shot from above. I didn't play it out, but I'd suspect that the engine has 5-10 minutes to live. Also notice two different bursts of MG fire passing extremely close to the plane from other Wellingtons at extreme range (600+ meters). Kind of a poster child for toning down Ace AI gunners, especially since most gunners were trained to hold their fire until the enemy got within 500 m.

#2 Bf-109E-4 getting smoked by a Wellington III at medium range (300 m) by a shot through the prop. Expected engine life 5-10 min.

#3 Same as above but notice the remarkably tight grouping of hits on the Bf-109s nose at 450+ meters!

#4 P-51B flamed by Ace Wellington III gunner at about 200 meters while maneuvering. While the shot doesn't show it effectively, one .30 caliber bullet was sufficient to set the forward fuel tank on fire, and another shot smoked the engine. A better view would have shown the bullet hitting right in the middle of the forward fuel tank. And this wasn't a fire that broke out after fuel hit the engine, the plane was suddenly engulfed in flames.
