No they don't, just two 12.7mm.

I think it's because these and the other fighters with firepower were capalable of carrying decent bomb loads.

Accuracy seems to be given to planes with long range and evasion might be thanks to bit heavier armaments for shooting down bombers.

Still it's just a theory.
