There's also evidence that later model P-40 used in Italy were equipped with "bazooka" type rockets.
There were also plenty of variants of the Buffalo where some of the weapons were removed, ammo was reduced, and/or equipment and armor were removed in order to make the plane lighter and more maneuverable.
Ideally, players should be able to choose any combination of historical load-outs for ammo, guns, ordinance, armor, fuel tanks, cargo, radio equipment, navigation equipment, crew, and safety equipment (e.g., flak vests, rubber rafts, fire extinguishers, oxygen systems) from a separate "arming" screen. Players should be able to "mix and match" loadouts as they wish, as long as the total mass isn't so great that the plane can't take off or fly.
