Just to add it here also, my advice was basically thus;
Dont sit on an IL's 6 o'clock, if you do this then you deserve to die.
Attack IL's from above or below, BnZ attacks work very well as do belly attacks where the turret position is not able to fire on you.
Combine and co-ordinate attacks with wingmen to create a "kill zone". One man attack from the flank while another attacks from above, giving the turret position a harder task to track multiple targets.
Hit the wings if you can, as they are as susceptible to cannon fire as any other aircraft.
And finally, a tactic I didnt add before was barrel rolling. Barrel rolling around an IL is a great way to throw off the turret gunners aim. Use the barrel roll with the nose down slightly to "spiral" towards the IL and move it in and out of your firing arc, then disengage after you fire.
