On a side note does someone know how frequent was the 6 gun installation on the Jug? There was an interview posted on simhq forums a very long time ago with a Jug pilot and he was surprised to hear that the 47 had 8 guns - he said they always had 6)

This was discussed recently elsewhere.

Both 6 or 8 guns were standard options. the 8 gun option carried less ammunition to compensate for the weight of the extra browning and had other performance limitations. I think overall in real life 6 guns was usually preferred though I am not 100% sure on that.

In games of course people will go for 8 guns every time.
