Not to nit-pick, but the standard armament was actually better than posted above.
4x.50 cal and a 20mm cannon in most models. The added .50 cals and higher rate of fire and better trajectory of the 20mm over the 37mm would be significant.
The P-39 had the gun arrangement you mentioned, and the convergence and trajectory mismatches, and low ROF of the 37 mm really proved to be a design fault in action, at least in the air to air role. The 37mm could be a terror against light armored vehicles however. The Russians made great use!
