Best Whirlwind armament layout to fight Japanese fighters and bombers?

Hey VA5124,

Unfortunately there is no room in the wing, as it was constructed.

Maybe if you replaced the slat with a solid LE. But that would still be a lot of weight to be adding that far out on the wings, significantly reducing the roll rate acceleration.

I can't think of anywhere I've seen it online. My source is copies made of a document;

Ideal Proportions of Ammunition for .303 inch, .50 inch, and 20 m.m Installations​

Prepared and circulated by​

The Directorate of Air Tactics (A.T.5)​

(Air Ministry)​

Earliest version I can see is January 1939 and latest May 1945.

Thanks! If you could share any of it, it would be great, but understand if you cant. Thanks again.
