though its much more dangerous for a fighter to carefully line up a shot on the engines which forces them to move in quick cutting attacks on the sides (much less efficient)

when you think about it that way, its not such a bad idea

EDIT- though of course it makes no sense when facing aircraft using cannons with HE shells fused for longer ranges than the turrets can even shoot
