Sounds to me more like a canon going through the center of the radial engine...Quoted
A 20mm Ho-5 motor cannon is specified. "Motor cannon" implies a weapon
lying between the cylinder heads of an inline engine, rather than the
radial described.
I thought more above the motor, but if it's a problem i would exchange the motorcanon with 2x 7,92mm MGs (each 900 rpm).
On the whole I see this as a reasonable, almost conservative design.

The plane is big enough to have a pair of cannons in the wings.
The intake under the engine could be for a turbocharger, like on the P-47.

It is also my understanding that this is impossible, or at least extremely difficult, due to the way a radial engine works. I don't recall ever seeing a radial engine and a motorcannon mixed together.

I agree, the aircraft could carry cannon in its wings; it might depend on their structure and the placement of the undercarriage, fuel tanks and such.
And that intake could be for a turbocharger - and odd placement but not impossible; I'd merely ask the owning player for clarification rather than speculate.
