As a C2 lover and a pilot of the plane for many years before it recently got a lot of attention: You can and will receive all kinds of damage, including controls, oil, radiator, guns, fuel tanks, pilot wounds, and many more.
I've taken a serious beating in the C202 many times.
You just are getting totally pummeled at once. Or you have serious lag issues (all damage being applied at once) or you just have blinders on and let somebody unload on you
