PZL-P24 in Greece removed the 20mm in operation because the airframe could not take stress of firing.

with removing of guns from airplane is funny thing.

Oryginal PZL P11C have mounted 4 x7.9 guns. Smm pilots claim then wing guns decrese manuevrability of aircraft, so order to remove them /every additional weight decrese them/. During september 1939 campain lots of planes have removed wing guns, data not show how many.

In spring and summer 1940 during BoB campain pilots of hurricane order to remove guns from hurricane. 2 or even 4 guns.
It was very popuar in 12 guns hurricane MK2.
That show , pilots chose better manuever planes then better firepower when he fight with largest number of enemy
