Re: Chin Mounted 20mm on the Bf 109

It would have been verty wise to delete the cowling Mgs altogether and standardize either that one underchin cannon or the two wing cannon. The MG 17s were basically useless and the MG 131 wasn't much better. A G-6 with MG 131 and bulged cowling vs . two wing cannon and no cowl guns and bulges wouldn't have differed much in performance, but the firepower difference would have been massive.
