Oh yes it most definitely is, especially if you're firing at the mechanical bits. Read accounts of real BoB combat and see how many accounts are just like that - "Shot all my ammo into him, one engine smoking, damaged." And the photos of shot down Luf bombers on the ground - absolutely riddled with the little .303 holes. Horrible air-to-air weapons.

Like the other guys said, hit the crew area - that means you'll have to make steep diving attacks. Keep the canopy open (as many did in real life, to aid jumping out in a hurry and visibility) and use the "lean" controls to keep the formation in view as you line up.
