PTs carried a pretty impressive array of weaponary, much of it customized to the particular boat. Some even exchanged torpedos for extra MGs and cannon to serve as gunboats.

Most needed for the sim would be the dual .50 mount. Not sure the 37mm are worth modelling when the 40mm Bofors already exists. I would assume rockets would prove the greatest challenge.
