Boxboy, you posted something about bomber guns on the wish list forum back in March. This was, IMHO, thoroughly put to rest. The .50s on the bombers will appear to be more leathal than your fighter's return shots because #1 due to the physics involved, they are impacting your fighter at a higher velocity (no, I am not doing the math AGAIN); #2 bombers are larger/tougher targets than your fighter and #3 generally speaking bombers have a lot more guns firing at you.
For anyone who wants to see me not only make a fool of myself, but actually do the math to prove I was a fool, the thread was titled "Wish List" by Boxboy and was last posted on as of this writing on March 4. It shows once and for all that an individual bomber bullet will be more effective firing backwards at a fighter than that fighter's return bullet.

That math exercise was great, problem is it makes NO difference wheather you attack from the rear or from the front or sides, the gun lethality is the same as far as I can see.
The ONLY difference is if the Buff pilot sees you or not or if he has a gunner or not.
