Captain America vs War Machine

I guess that is a good point. Also Rhodey did survive that long fall in Civil War. It makes you wonder why IM didn't make his own suit more durable.

Because plot demanded that his suit be weak enough so that Bucky and Cap could take it out. 😛

[B]And, as pointed out, Rhodey had a more durable suit. Impacts from things like Redwing and Clint's explosive arrows (which were massively watered down compared to previous films) were damaging the IM suit, whereas getting hit by an exploding gas truck just pissed Rhodey off.

And there is another comparison. Cap spin kicked Rhodey quite some distance away after cutting his club but he wasn't hurt. While Tony started bleeding from his forehead after a shield throw and a couple of metal arm punches.

And nobody mentioned another option WM has. In CW he had sonics. A perfectly non-lethal attack which, if it does not take out Cap, will disorient him enough for Rhodey to take him out. And Cap can't block it with the shield either.

Without power to boot - when he should have been in pieces. For comparison, the cars dropped on IM by SW (and no, she didn't bring them down on him, they clearly lacked the red envelope that the objects she levitates have) crumpled his suit and put his arm in a sling. Had Tony taken that fall, even with power he would have to be poured out imo.

Minor nitpick, but he actually picked up the arm issue before the airport fight, during the unarmoured H2H with Bucky. After an exchange with Ross, he still tells Black Widow, "My left arm is numb. Is that normal?"

Also WM tends to rely more on heavy artillery fire. I actually don't remember him even using repulsors since IM2.

He does though. He used it twice in IM3 once to blast down a set of metal doors and the next to free the President. And he used it on one Ultron drone in the finale

He prefers using his minigun/machine guns and missiles though. As an Ork would say, Rhodey likes the Dakka.

Ah okay. I try not to rewatch IM3.
