Long bursts more effective than multiple short ones?

If you hit the right part, usually just behind the stick, it doesn't take much though the seat back may take it all. Just in front of the stick is good too, and a bit in front of that.

If you're trying to burn through the tail from six then you will need a lot of hits as the tail gear mountings tend to be really tough. TU engine pods are similar as the gear is behind the engines.

Solution is to shoot deflection if you want to shoot from behind. Aim for the cockpit, nose, and wing root.

1/4 second is a good short burst.
