Most people try to shoot from dead astern and centre line.. That means your loading the fuselage and parts of the wings with hits but nothing structural that will bring it down.

20-30degree diving attack angle aiming for middle of wing at 250yards does it every time if you hit the right spot.

That's consistent with my experience as well. I either shoot wings and engines coming from slightly upwards/below, or aim for the cockpits. If i don't it takes a lot of rounds to down them. There's a lot of empty space inside a bomber and depending on the angle the bullets meet it, many can be simply going through it without hitting anything vital.
