Inside the rear fuel tank???    :uhoh

There's only one way you could've gotten me up as a RIO in one of those puppies: "Feldwebel Bino, it's either this... or the Russian Front!"

Where the photo recon cameras  were stored or the proposed location for the rear cannons.
One & the same location. :aok

How about it? Add it as an option with the 20mm forward gun pod...

Two ways HTC could go with that. Add the night fighter version or go with what one fellow did when the night fighter squadron was shelved. He took a gun pod from that unit & added it to his AR 234B & decided to go dog fighting in it.

Only happened with one aircraft & it stopped after he had a heavy landing & lost the plane. He did not fare any better than the night fighters either he shot nothing down.
