    @TheGuyYouMightKnow Actually, I left them as miniguns as an excuse to add more drag to the thing. If you've noticed, the airfoils in SP are very thin and have very little drag compared to the real Bf 109's aerofoil.

    The realism Series focuses on performance, not appearance.

    @SkyEyeMCCIX I realize that you just explained how the mini guns are realistic but you can edit wing guns to mimic 20mils as well. For example my He-180 has wing guns that have the stats of 30mm Mk.108s, not everything but fire rate is definitely the same, I get that they're supposed to be gun-pods but it'd look more realistic if they were wing guns, put into some fuselage blocks to actually look like gun-pods

    @Fishbowl1121 The miniguns are XML edited to mimic 20mm cannon. (Much) lower rate of fire, heavier bullets, larger caliber, etc. Trust me, it's realistic. You might even want to save the 20mm cannon into your subassemblies... You can see it in slow-motion mode (press L), the .303 guns (yes, also edited) shoot much faster than the 20mm miniguns-turned-cannon.
