How about an H8K2 'Emily' which did 290mph, carried more than 6,000lbs and had five 20mm cannons?

The Sunderland was better than the Sterling.  The Sterling was so bad it had to be withdrawn from combat operations and turned into a glider tug.

Early in the war, it was a heavy bomber, and later it turned into a plane to push drunks out of. Also had a 18,000 lb load.

as i have pointed out in another thread The MK IV and V Sunderland s had  2 .50 in the nose , 4 .50 in the tail . Fixed twin 50cal in nose and twin 20mm in dorsal turret  and .50 in side access doors .   plus the 10,000kg (Approx) of ords . ok it was slow but what endurance  and not a bad defensive  load out in the later versions.

Later versions had good firepower, but its endurance isn't really special considering the competition.  Not sure about time, but the H8K had 50% greater range with a 24 hour endurance.
