With a few exceptions (eg. cannon-armed fighter-bomber versions of the Corsair), the armament of nearly *all* US single-engined fighters (Mustangs, Thunderbolts, Hellcats, FM-2s) till the end of the Pacifc war was massed .50cal MG, by which time the Japanese were being slaughtered in the air.

Note that the F4F-4 has the same AA rating (+5) as the basic Zero Model 21 (which was it's primary opponent in 1942) and only 1 less (+6) than the Zero Model 51 (which didn't fly until months after production of the F4F-4 was terminated)

The main reason why appears it weaker is the devs decided to give it 3 stars instead of 2.
