I agree with WW....IIRC the in game plane carries the weight of ventral gun/ammo.
I had the privilege of knowing a vet who piloted A-20's in south pacific. He was surprised I knew about the plane. I specifically asked about the ventral gun, he said some would take it...maybe mission specific? He said it was fast on the deck...

What about that drag that it adds?

Since we have the A-20G with the powered upper turret instead of the flex turret, means the Havoc we have is an A-20G somewhere between blocks G-20 and G-45.  In that case, then the ventral gun should be a single .50 caliber machine gun.

The EARLY A-20G <-1, 1st 250>, had the ventral gun and there was no manned auto-turret <electric> on top <less weight> and had 4x20mm and 2X50cal in the nose.  :O
Okay..Add 2 Country's at once, Australia and France next plane update Add ...CAC Boomerang and the Dewoitine D.520
