True, if you don't have pictures it doesn't exist!

I will try to upload pictures.

For others who wish to add pictorial evidence, set up a 16 bomber vs. 1 fighter QMB mission and turn arcade mode on.

To prove my point, be sure to use planes with weak rear defensive armament, like the Ju-88A or He-111H, or with massed rifle caliber MG in turrets, like the Wellington.

Use Ace level AI and stupid tactics like hanging out at 100-300 m right behind a bomber formation.

You'll get the results I described soon enough; loads of PK, pilot wounded and badly smoked/seized engines, usually following just a few bullet hits. As a bonus, you'll occasionally get a control cable hit (esp. for the older planes like the Bf-109 or the Soviet fighters) from hits that penetrate the engine and forward firewall.
