A new/old Look for PT-109

Went on single mission head to the Luzon Straits on unlimited fuel,, set speed at 15knots was harassed by a Betty Bomber AA dispatched the pest,, came across a small Task Force the twin 40 dispatched 3 destroyers then the phone rang the end . I'm torn whether or not to put the single 40 back on for historical and realism value.,. seems those tin cans are too thin skinned.

Well the 40 on the bow should come around in mid 43, thats about time started mounting big guns such as 40 and 37 MM on the bow, its definitely needed for mid to late phase of the war. Stern single 40 late in 43 . 20's and 50 cals just wont cut it in the campaign im working on. busting barges and small coastal types.
