various numbers according to different sources, but i deciede not to be overly boastful & used the smalled one i saw - wouldn't want to besmirch the reputation of such a fine bird, as i would like to one day see some of the planes of lesser airforces in AH...
according to Emmanuel Gustin's M.A.D. PZL P.24F was armed with 4 x 20mm Oerlikon.  slow fighter, but highly manuverable - deadly if you overshoot or try to turn with it.
FFVS J.22 sjöuld finally see some combat, if only virtual.
IAR 80/81 was regularly mistaken for FW190, couldn't be too bad...
