Good thread Ice! Glad to see the Yak-9UT getting its armament fixed.

Speaking of Yaks - Yak-3 VK-107 has wrong armament too. According to Yefim Gordon it was fitted either with two (both in cowling) or with three B-20 cannons (additional one firing through the spinner). In the sim it has one ShVAK (between cilinders) and one UBS (cowling).

Generally I agree, armament on Japanese planes seems to be a mess. Developers appeared to have used placeholder weapons which then never got replaced.

About J2M3 - according to Rene Francillon this version of the plane came with both armament options you mentioned - 2 x type99-I + 2 x type99-II or 4 x type99-II. To distinguish between the two, the latter was named J2M3a, so technically you are right, but then our J2M3 can simply be renamed J2M3a and everything is fine.

Ki-46-III Kai is another example - it's obliquely firing cannon is Russian one, instead of Ho-203 (again according to Rene Francillon).

Also VYa-23 appears to be used on many russian planes in place of NS-23.
