Guns on the P40?

the E model carried 6 .50 cals just like most other US fighters.  The earlier B model, most commonly used by the AVG, had 4 .30 cals in the wings and 2. 50s firing through the prop.

Yeah I'd like to have an option of either, or have an earlier model.

the advantages would be: guns firing through prop would be more accurate at all ranges, 30 cals on wings would prolly have more ammo and fire faster.

but of course the disadvatage would be they are weaker.
