    Hi @DesertDust91 Sorry to say that if a fighter-bomber with a cannon is on your tail then there is very little you can do about it (you can try using your rear guns but that might only work as a deterrent, if at all). Taking them down should really be the job of friendly fighters and AA.

    There might be some tips people here can give you though. Since I only fly fighters I just don't have much experience with bombers, and may simply not know the right tactics.

    As for your other question - it is possible to headshot kill a pilot but only certain guns will do it. For example the JU-88C with the upgrade for the 4x MG 151/20mm secondary guns will do it when aiming at the cockpit.

Thanks, i'll mark this as a solution.

I noticed that A-20 HE cannons can kill the pilot before destroying whole plane, but they fire only forward.

Once when i was chasing enemy bomber, gunner was targeting my engine and damaged it, it was quite clever, i must say. 🤔

Although i think i never managed to damage engine of an enemy fighter, despite firing at the propeller for several seconds. Whole plane got destroyed, but without engine damage, what is quite strange.
