It was WW2. WWI planes did not get armour. They were made typically of wood and canvas and used engines with the same output as a moped. Also, the example you provide is for planes that were hit in mid flight and lived to RTB for examination. This helicopter was hit on the ground and abandoned. Assuming any of the holes aren't catastrophic would be a dire mistake.

you are wrong on the ww1 fighter engines unless you think 100hp+ is typical for mopeds

Well, at least I understand what hyperbole is.
