I'm sure all the electronic boards, tubing for hydraulics, etc just love having little holes punched through them.
I don't know if I'm blind, but I'm not seeing too many holes?
Back during ww1 or ww2 they figured out that the planes that came home with many holes in them, didn't take catastrophic damage and instead reinforced where there weren't holes.
So it's hard to know if these holes are catastrophic or not
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.
