German bombers so much tougher than RAF bombers?

Ju88 and Do17 - hit just inside the engine on top of the wing
He111 - hit just outside the engine on top of the wing

This will cause at worst big black smoke as the type wheels away into a death dive, at best an explosion which takes off the wing.

FW200 is easy too.

BR20, that's something else, I've given up attacking them - any solutions?

Yes of course, but I don't want to be charged with treason!

this crew bailed, so no hit count
