Yak-9T - incredible firepower (or maybe incredible tank's lack of armor?)

The discussion got away from this particular case towards the question if there is a general flaw in IL-2s armour model (either projectiles penetrating deeper than they do IRL or AFVs having less capable armor than IRL).
IMHO there is none, and as an example i mentioned 20mm cannons, that do perform up to specs as far as i tested.

I'am a bit surprised to know that it could carry so many 37mm ammo.
But if there is anything bad modeled here, was this canon recoil effects on the little yak.

At least the recoil makes you have to adjust your aim after 1-2 shots, that seems okay to me.

Only the first shot could be aimed, on the second shot the plane will be absolutely out of its mark.

But it does just that ingame, doesn't it?
