The P-40 was a pre-war design that was not really very good, by WWII standards, but used by the flying Tigers in China and mostly in the Pacific war. They were under-armed. I see them as kind of a crossover between WWI and WWII aircraft.
They were the planes used by our heroes in the movie Pearl Harbor that they were able to use during the Japanese raid to shoot down some planes.
Not really this model had six .50 cal early on (before the US even enter the war)... six .50 cal became pertty much became the common gun package on all US WW2 fighter
