Hardly. The games Ive played online the BF109 is pretty damn tough and well armoured. The IL's are much much tougher but they are inline with what I would expect them to be, since they were called "the flying tank".
The problem seems to be that people expect them to be easy to kill and crap to fly because they are Russian, but in RL they were actually damn good aircraft and tough as nails to boot. Also people are not attacking them in the correct manner. You should never ever try and sit on an IL's 6, it will get you with its turret (as it should do). BnZ attacks, raking passes at speed, and belly attacks are all effective attacks against them. Hell I can take them out in 2 passes at most on Arcade, where the planes are super tough.
Last night I made a BnZ attack at an IL10 on my first pass I snapped its wing clean off with my Spit. Why? Because while the wings are tough, if you get some cannon shells in the right place it WILL disintegrate the same as any other plane.
