Historically, we should have a hispano equiped P-47

Pyro, where did that pic come from?

8x.50s and 2 x Hispanos on a Jug.  But wouldn't that kill its impressive turn rate?  

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........

Hooligan dont you read stuff   ? there was never a p47 with 20mm hispanos (read pyros answer)ERGO there should never be one in AH.  
Hooligan also you stated 'they put 20mm's on every production US fighter in very limited quantities'....comon admit it  you just made that up! lol
thats how history is rewritten do you think?
LW 'ultra mean mausers'? lol try and fight and live with them ammo.Load 30mm in 190a8 and you can forget any manouvering with fighters...they weigh the same as my neighbours fat arse!   Hispanos seem to cause no ill effects(only my perception i have no real idea)
The day we get 'what if loadouts' in AH is the day i will quit and thats a promise!
REAL/HISTORIC FLIGHT SIM IS THE ONLY WAY FORWARD  

who agrees?

huh! get hit by a few of them, they do cuase some ill effects, and at times raise an adverse reaction. On the good side they seem to provide a "legitimate" excuse for those that manage to get in front of a hispano equiped bird, nay.. it was not lack of good judgement , nor was it a mistake, it was just those pesky hispano's

Hazed:

Pay attention.  Pyro POSTED a picture of a jug with Hispanos on it.  Also please don't twist the meaning of my words.  I said "I THINK they put...... So the answer is PROBABLY yes".  The list I know they tried them on for sure is F4U, F6F, F7F, P-38, P-39, P-47, P-51 and P-61.  That leaves the F3A, F4F, P-40 and P-63.  And I THINK they probably tried 20mm on these also but I haven't seen any conclusive proof one way or the other.

I'm very careful to be certain that what I post here is factually correct.  Please do us all the courtesy of trying to do the same.
