If you are closing fast from whatever angle then your shots will virtually travel less far to reach the target than however far the target was when you made the shot. So you aim as if it is closer. How much depends on closing speed and range of the shot, a 400m shot may take aiming as if 300m or much less if coming from head-on.

If you are firing steeply (about 30+ degrees it starts to get 'more') up or down, your shots will drop less at range relative to the pipper than shots made at or near horizontal. So you aim lower than you would.

You can go for the engines from the back but some bombers have landing gear folded up behind them. Know your target. Some are easy to light up the wing tanks in a high or low cross path strafe. But #1 spot for me is the cockpit from an angle where you can see it and lead it. Even 30 cal counts there.
