Hurri Mk 1 with all hispanos instead of .303's.  Same ammo load. (this IS a fantasy list right?)

I own a .303 rifle.  Great for hunting deer in PA.  Not so great for hunting aircraft, at least with me shooting.

How about an Ostie with an extra 37MM Flak 18 and some more turret armor?  Oh yeah!  Or an F6F5 with Hispano's instead of 50's?

Actually all you would need is an F7F:). No other plane (prop) came close.

As for the current plane set again all you need is what was historically readily available...F6F with the 2x20mm load out.

Now if you want to get a bit outlandish...just put the DB605 in a Ki-61...or in a C.205:aok

P-51C didn't carry Hispanos. The only difference between the Pony B and C was what plant built them.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I'd use my perks to put bombs on the 262.  Very realistic actually... :)

Also be nice to get the other models/armaments of the Mossie (4K lb, big cannon model, etc...)
