How many rounds per 20mm cannon?  It looks like those are 60 round drums.

No, there's no reason an A20 should have F3 view, reserve those for heavy bombers/bomber formations that you generally can't/don't use as fighter aircraft.

When you look at it the A20 has better guns than most fighters, far better armor (other than the cockpit), better turn radius, better speed than some EW/MW aircraft, terrific bomb load, and plenty of fuel...if it's given 4 20mm's then I think all external views should be removed (I think they should be either way, but that's another subject).

I mean...if I wanted to get sniped by some quad cannon beast I'd go to Tempest/Chog lake, I mean the DA.. Please... have mercy HT... Let us have a save haven from that in the MA :uhoh :bolt:

The P-70 night fighter version was considered to be less than satisfactory as night fighter.

Anyone notice in Megalodon's drawing, the offset floor mounted N-2 gunsight and the offset reflector glass mounted to the dashboard top? Same installation as in our P40-C. I suppose shooting 20mm at night one needed an illuminated aiming ring. I've seen a Russian cockpit drawing where they mounted the reflector sight to the left side through a hole in the dash board deck.
