Though I do note that that is with 0.5 inch guns, which makes it a bit more tolerable.

To go into further detail on that battle, the B-24 entered combat with an altitude advantage, dived through the Zeros climbing headon attack and then continued in a shallow dive, meaning the Zeros took a very long time to close to effective range, leaving them as sitting ducks as they slowly closed in from dead astern.
Real pilots would not behave in that way, so yes the combat results were unrealistic, but I think that
if real pilots chose to attack a well armed bomber such as the B-24 in that fashion then they would probably meet a similar fate, so I think the issue there was with pilot AI, rather than the hitting power of the guns.
