Also noticed on the beaufighter and the hurricane field mod the slots and ports dont align. Definitely not show stoppers but im just curious. Some of the planes such as lagg have slots under the wings as well but all the guns are in the nose.
The slots you're referring to under the wing of the LaGG are just gaps that allow space for the landing gear to rotate out when extended. The main gear hinges are where you see the gaps.

I can't speak for the rest of the aircraft, but keep in mind some aircraft retain their shell casings when fired; they're not ejected. Bf-109 is one example.
