The common tactic of LW and Hungarian fighters was to kill the rear gunner of IL-2s first. It resulted in extreme casualties amongst gunners. It wasnt easy of course, but also not that so difficult.

Anyway, I also agree, B-17 and B-24, maybe even He-111 should be much harder to shoot down. In fact, they arent much more durable than La-5/7, and definitely less durable than IL-2!
