No tunnel there. It's a shelf where a life raft was stowed.

Hopefully with the next version, we'll get early G production blocks that had the quad 20mm cannon weapon package, along with the ability to carry rockets (3.5 inch bazooka rockets) and carry torpedoes.

  Only if they jam a lot.  I was reading today that jamming was the reason the 20mm's were replaced with the 50 cal.

If they did, a lot of players that like to fly cannon armed US planes would be upset.

Or, with an optical gunsight better utilization of the existing 50's.

Quad 20's would need a perk tag, even if only a small one.  It also means that it would need it's own model, unless HTC goes with a perk ords/gun system.

If you implement jamming, it will NEED to be implemented on ALL player controlled items.  Why should only the quad 20 A-20 be affected by jamming?  Either it get's it's own model with a perk tag, or there will be a perk ords/gun system. :)  I'm actually thinking HTC will go with the perk ords/gun system, as we are well aware that HTC will NOT model redundant variants (Sea Cane MkII and the F6F-3 come to mind).

Add the Rocket Assist Takeoff with the 20mm packet, and you have a winner. Make sure HTC use the Yak3 damage model so you don't have to worry about battle damage.
