That is reasonable, I tested the Yak3 for being immune to gun fire at close range chased by multiple cons one night. I wiggled the heck out of it and thought I would drop out of the air most of the time. Six planes chasing me could not hit me other than a few holes in the wings but, tracers in streams were passing over my wings. The saving grace was how much speed it picked up with short shallow dives that gave me the ability to eventually get away from those cons. On the deck spits, 109, poni and so forth don't seem to be able to pick up as much speed as a Yak3 can from a short shallow dive. As the person chasing the Yak3 it looks like a completely different gamey story.
