Makes sense - since no amount of 7.92mm hits will scare off any attacker, but with a single MG 131 you might actually damage them a bit.

I am all for it.. lets include also a URL so that people quits saying "A-4 didn't have 13mm", as I bet they will say as they're looking into original A-4, which had its ventral gun replaced with 13mm (this shouldn't be big thing, just stick a new gun with some adjustments!)

"or one MG131 upper rear" - A-4.

S-1 wouldn't be for bad either, with even better 13mm placement  

I also miss that 1000kg bomb, as I checked it did exist. (wow, even Finns had those)

Fw 190G could also carry a single 1000kg bomb with special modifications. Actually it says up to a single 1800kg(4000lb!) bomb.
