The P-39 had the gun arrangement you mentioned, and the convergence and trajectory mismatches, and low ROF of the 37 mm really proved to be a design fault in action, at least in the air to air role. The 37mm could be a terror against light armored vehicles however. The Russians made great use!

Tor sir you are correct, the XP-38 model or the first model in the early 40's was 2x.50 and 2x.30 + cannon but from 42-43 I think most were armed with 4x.50's + the cannon.
I'm not quite up to speed on all the specs but just get it in the game so I can enjoy it's beauty like I did on IL-2 for the PC
