As far as I can find out, the MG15/20/MG151 were directly replacing the MG15/17's, I'd imagine a bit of barrel protruding like in the aborted Ground Attack Prototype pic below, as for that, not much I've found in 30mins, bar text based info; I'm sure others might have more info & reference material.

Thanks,

I finally finished a version with ECT70 and 125 rounds for the MG151/20... (but no graphical changes)

If I take quite a bit more time I could add gunpods (which would protrude below the wing, but also add weight and barrels)... It would be nice to have better info though.

Yes it used the HS 129 lookalike pit. Really ugly that one

In Razor1UK`s post they had something about a FW-189 nightfighter, isn`t it a bit low performance to be a nightfighter?

Yes, I read that the MG151's were fitted in the wing roots in place of the original MGs too, but I read it so long ago I forget where.
I may have mentioned in my request for this aircraft, but I don't remember.

I'd love to see it though.
