Maybe in SH4, but does in real combat.

In American planes You could still carry out Your mission even with the punctured fuel tanks because they were coated in rubber, in Japanese not because they weren't self sealing. Self sealing fuel tanks made the plane heavier, so Japanese constructors decided to not mount them on most planes. The agility of Mitsubishi Zero came with a price for their pilots. For the other hand i.e. the Grumman company made their planes more resistant and they could withstand more damage and offered better protection for pilots.
