May I offer that Instead of calling it a "cheat", can we call it a sub - version of the Beaufighter

we all know we have a stack of different version of the Zero, Me-109, Spitfires etc that are differently armed, but in principle the same version of the airplane :!:

I really doubt the weight of a Vickers K (which can be represented by the rear gun of the Val) with ammo will be a detriment to the FM for such a big airplane.

And which aircraft do you suggest gets replaced with this? With an identical FM etc...
