Schatzi, I built a scale model of a IIB once, and it made an interesting note. It commented that when bomb racks were attached, it meant 2 or 4 (I cannot remember which) of the guns could not be used, either because the rack was bolted onto the frame the gun used, or the rack blocked the ejector chutes. I don't know if the gun were removed or simply disarmed.
That makes it more complicated for HTC to model (lol). It means if you want bombs they have to be in the center ammo option, not a separate wings option. Still, it would be interesting.
I read somewhere that the Tardphoon couldn't fire it's guns with the rockets loaded in the racks; something along the lines of the weapons severing the wires that were used to fire the rockets. Whether due to muzzle flash, or the weapon cycling, or the ejecting brass, I can't say. I also can't say that it was accurate (me not knowing much about tardphoon weaponry), but I wonder if the hurricanes would be susceptible to the same sorts of issues.
Anyway, the game doesn't model such issues, so it's kind of a moot point, but that just popped into my head, and I thought I'd see if anyone else had heard of this or could offer some more insight.
I don't suppose anyone ever loaded the 23mm cannons on a hurri? I'd pay good perks for that.
