Looks like your bullets went all over the place. And If you really flew a Tomahawk, then it is not the best idea to attack from behind, Wellingtons and other tough planes,e. g. He-111, SM79 ... can soak up lots of non-cannon size bullets if they come from behind - but a few well placed bursts into the cockpit or engines do the trick.
Edit:
Just tried it myself, one long burst form ~200m and closing into the the Wellingtons right wing, and the inboard and outboard fuel tank burned, as well as right engine dead.
