BF109's and Stukas too hard to shoot down? Anyone else finding this?

My issue isnt "it's too hard" - far from it. My question though was is it realistic to score 250 hits on a single seat fighter and not even make it smoke? On a closer examination it had literally dozens of holes in the fuselage, all of which made from dead astern, and yet the damage model recorded no major damage to either the pilot, or any of the planes vitals.

My question was is the damage model inaccurate from dead astern? I think it may be -this wasnt a one off - its easily reproducable, both with the 109 and the stukka.
