Eight M3's would have been a fearsome armament against any fighter though, don't you think?

Eight 0.50 M3 are very impressive. However, they don´t belong to ww2, I think. If you want to count them I would like to take the MG 213/20, also. It has an even higher rof (1300 rpm), an excellent punch (20mm) and excellent ballistics, too (initial velocity around 1065 m/sec /3400-3500 ft/s). Put them as an engine mounted gun in a longnose Fw 190 / Ta-152.

The 37mm was developed from the 'doorknocker' Pak gun, designed from the outset for anti-tank work. It had a long barrel and (stupidly IMHO) fired APCR rounds made with precious Tungsten. These rounds had better armour penetration than standard Manganese steel projectiles. I doubt the 30mm would be anywhere close, though 30mm HE rounds would be very effective for ground attack, they would be useless for anti-tank work.
How about a hub firing 30mm with two 20mm in the wing roots and two 15mm in the engine cowling
