I shoot for center mass.  My aim isn't good enough to pick specific parts.  So I shoot for the middle assuming that my margin for error is largest that way.

I go for the fuselage; in a dead six shot, if all else fails, I may get an elevator or rudder, drastically cutting my opponent's ability to fight; or, I may cut off all of his tail feathers, sending him shooting upward or yawing out of control; in the best case scenario, I may even kill his pilot. On deflection shots, I stand a great chance of killing him outright or damaging/ knocking out his engine.

I always aim for the cockpit area, If I can't then my secondary choice is the either side of the wing.

Knock  knock.  

The pilot. It's much more fun to send them straight to the tower or have the suffer for a while.

I shoot for the middle of the plane and then with the small variation in my accuracy, I know i will knock off some critical part if I miss.

Wing root or tail.  99% of the time hits to these areas from a solid burst will result in catastrophic damage to the target.

But then I usually shoot between 200-300, it doesn't matter where I aim. Half a sec burst usually do the job.
