Subject: WW-II recip-prop plane design?

What would it look like? Front engine or pusher, large slow turning prop or smaller fast turner with more blades? Big, high efficiency prop requires long landing gear legs which weigh more, which trades do you make? Large plane or small? If not specific details, how about just the ideas. What type of weapons, mixed caliber weapons, or single caliber for all guns, small 20 MM cannon, or large 30 MM caliber guns, or something in between? I doubt any would like the HMG as a weapon. As an alternate idea, if you could modify any plane, how would you change it to make it better? In fact, this sounds like a much more interesting problem! What about it?
