Impossible.  You couldn't put a gun through either the Merlin or Allison.  The Daimler Benz 600 series and French Hispano-Suiza 12Y series (the VK series in the Yakolevs is based on the Hispano-Suiza) were both designed from the ground up to do so.

P38s that have the option to carry 6 .50 cals... yes, they existed.

Just a small list of the things I'd like to see.

• All the R packages (Depending on the model) for all the German planes
• The early A-20G with the 4 20mm's in the nose
• The fixed forward firing Mg FF on the Ju88
• The Mosquito with the 4,000lbs "cookie" bomb doors
• The early rockets on the A-20's and B-25's
• Did I mention the early A-20G with the 4 20mm's in the nose?
