I do agree that the I-16 Type 18 and Type 24 which have quite a bit of engine power are fairly good against 109E types. Against the 109F they do not have the performance in the vertical but have very good horizontal performance. The I-16 Type 5 and Type 6 show what the early variants of the plane was like and the performance is significantly less.
I almost never was pked when flying against spits, i can die due colision or explosion but never pk due a bullet in my cockpit. I fly spits vs 109 for long time.

In air force war, where there are migs, ratas, and other planes with shvaks i was pked much more frequently.

Almost time aircraft is very fit. Take the mig 2xshvak and manage to fire in the fuselage and see by your own.

When flying mig i anchieve more pk than flying another plane. I suggest you fly the mig more often and try. When flying against migs i got pked, when flying it i get pk more often. Maybe piercing ammunition is better. I do not known.

I fly the MiG quite a bit actually... and no I don't have at all the same experience.

What may be the case is that Spitfires have cannons and materially destroy the target aircraft before the chance of a PK. Also because of convergence there is less chance of a concentrated fuselage hit as more rounds hit the wings.

The ShKAS does have a high rate of fire (higher than any other light machine gun) so maybe the chances elevate slightly.

I could confirm this, cause few times when i stand up fast from my bed i experienced tunnel vision. hehehe...
Just watching Red bull air races... 9gee no problems - basically there's plenty of evidence that people can take plenty of Gee. I'd like to see the FW190 advantage show up with players and AI, since the pilots legs are stretched out, the 190 pilot should be able to take more gee than most other planes.
