Is the plane armed with 4 or 6 13mm guns? It's description says both.....

Oohps it's a SNAFU from when I edited the armament.

To clarify for everybody, the I-100 first prodcution batch will be armed with only four 13mm guns (two fuselage and two wing) but the designed space in the wings for two extra guns will be retained for future growth. Or bigger guns...

Hmmmm. I'm doing a bit of research and something seems off: the Bf-109D (the relatively few built with 960 hp DB-600As) had a top speed of 323 mp/h (520 km/h). This aircraft is getting almost the same speed out of 2/3rd the horsepower, from a less-streamlined radial engine (though it is lighter). Is this a case of Planebuilder being better than reality?

The Venom/I-100 is smaller and lighter than the Bf109D. With the 625hp Aquila engine she flew at 312mph.

I'm not sure whether the wings would be able to take 6x13mm mg or 20mm cannons without increasing the weight a fair bit.

Only four 13mm guns in the wings, two in the cowl.
