Just wanted to add that I believe the "non-historical sniper shot from long distances " was eliminated in the revised gunnery update a few patches back which brought in more realistic gun synchronisation and bullet dispersion.
As for not being very good at it I had similar experiences and found it very frustrating initially - it is quite a shock to the system to get to grips with WW1 birds after being used to WW2 and later. The turns are incredibly tight and the armament is equivalent to peashooters. It took me ages to be able to hit anything.
