Guys!  13mm replacing 7.92mm DID NOT EFFECT on bombload, because it was changed in the cockpit, from the ventral gun position.
Besides, it was defensive gun for shooting backwards.
Generally 13mm gun does only add weight for a bit, but not that much it would be something. (and AH counts weapon weights)

By the way, there were also A-4's with single 20mm forward firing cannon.
Finnish Air Force had one of those 28 Ju-88's with 20mm cannon.
(and yes, it did also carry normal loadout, because gun was placed in cockpit area, not in the bombbay)

Ju-88 fighter which had *reduced* bomb load, did have 20mm cannons  
Not just 13mm....

only reason the bomb load was reduced was because thegun pods took up the forward bomb bay.  

I've gotten a few kills with the Ju88's forward firing gun. I killed a P-47 in a HO shot. Musta been a pilot kill.

Oh sorry, I thought the ju88 NIGHT FIGHTER had 13mm...

well, whatever it had, give it the option to either carry bombs with the current weapon loadout OR give it the fighter-mod guns but dont allow it to carry bombs (the whole point is to have it as a fighter!).

What you want is a zerstorer version: C-4 or C-6, a heavy day fighter with 3x20mm, 3x7.9mm and a small bombload.

That was in the C models, not in A-4
In A-4 there is 13mm gun in ventral position.

Also some A-4's (yes you read correct and I do also) had 20mm in the nose (not in the bombbay).
I should get that one book again with the picture of that 20mm sticking out in the nose.

So, no payload effects in those two configurations.

Though, those ones with loads of machineguns cannons etc. are those other than A models ..
