Uh Platan0 it's not really the plane that matters.

You could mount 2 20mms with cheek packs similar to B-25, B26 which would keep the weight near the center of the plane, OR mount them under the wing like bf109G10 or G6 or like the A-26. If the plane is able to support two adults I would think it could handle the additional weight of 2 20mm and about 120-200 rounds of ammo.

The plane performs the same as it did at the con without the 20mm vulcan cannons "simmilar to those on a A10 warhog" so you thing adding lil squekers"or 303s" to it will hurt the performence no not a chance

make the pilot Lazs and let him shoot his peashooter out the window.

The reason it preformed well is HiTech did not add the extra weight to the plane.

I got 5 kills total from 2 flights in the RV-8 yesterday on the 19th. I couldn't up in it today, HiTech must have taken the option away. I think they should let us pick up pilots that have bailed out and fly them back to base. You could get perks for doing that too!
