Yeah that is true Soviet Ace, great climb rate though and in the right hands (not necessarily my hands) it has some potential.

I really love it for the lines and being a rather unique plane compared to most other fighters in the war more than anything else.

Two engines can also provide a little insurance if you sustain some damage he he.

2x.50 cal 2x .30 and 1x 37mil cannon in the nose she packs a punch and no worry about converging bullets from wings its right in front of you

Fork tailed devil is grace personified with the twin Allison super charged 12's screaming she is nasty.

Not to nit-pick, but the standard armament was actually better than posted above.
4x.50 cal and a 20mm cannon in most models. The added .50 cals and higher rate of fire and better trajectory of the 20mm over the 37mm would be significant.
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

+1 on that

but they should add it as the "he-113" . the head of German propaganda used he-100s to create a fictional night-fighter squadron of "he-113"s. he mannaged to fool the allies into thinking it was a real plane.
