Depends on the type. Late war IJN and IJAFC single seaters did indeed have self sealing tanks, though they were not as effective as the Allied ones were. Also most Japanese fighters got armor as the war progressed, especially the very late designs like the George, though the Ki 61 had pilot and radiator armor from the get go.

As to the reason we don't see Imperial Japanese warplanes "light up" like they do in gun cam footage, well, it's simple. In the stock game all US .50 Browning arned aircraft have incorrect ammo belting.
