You can even put 1000 solid hits into an he111

Dunno what you do but the absolutely ever most I needed was about 500 shots. Bad shooting on my side and overkill as well as I wanted it to go down quick - the plane was already in its slow dead turns, going slower and slower in wide circles. Pumped more into it as I wanted it to go down quick but were not needed.
Usually 150 hits per bomber is what I need, but if I get a good attack run it's less than 100:

Ludwig Havenhorst describes after ground attacks damage to their He 11 in Russia:
"Our He 111 was hit a number of times. The crew chief counted 151 holes. All of the remaining aircraft had sustained similar damage.
In the following days our squadron lost six more aircraft in the same way. They were written off as a result of heavy damage or shot down."
As said about 150 do the trick usually in game, less if hit square and fair.
One thing that does not work is sitting at dead 6 however, you have to shoot from angles.
And I haven't observed any engine fire in He 111 so far, either it's a large kaboom tearing off the wing or it is thin streams of smoke (black/white) from the engine, which eventually dies down, but never a proper engine fire.
