This cant be realistic - 500+ hits, plane still flying??

Lots of history to show that there is nothing wrong with this, must have missed all the critical parts, happened often in the war, do you set your convergence etc on the sight, that can help a lot, Im sure there have been other times where you have brought down planes easily, and thankfully unlike fps games its not just adding your hits up until you reach a required amount to kill.

Also did you fly the whole mission out you never know, that may have been enough damage to stop the bomber getting back to base, just pretend you are Sailor Malan, he used to like to send them back full of wounded, he thought it would help to break the Germans moral.
