Even newer soviet planes are more fragile than it.P-40 (later models) are also strong,but propeller stops at any reason.

IJN and IJA planes looks quite fragile,but USN fighters are too stronger than them.

You may be remembering back in the 1.1 days but the I-16 isn't really that strong anymore. A few good shots to the fuselage and they light right up.

Back in the old days they used to shrug off everything and keep on fighting.

Actually if you compare I-16 versus Ki-27 which is a Khalkin Gol matchup there is a major problem because the Ki-27 is nearly immune to the I-16's machine guns but the reverse is not true so the Ki-27 wins most fights on DM alone.
