A nice 'what if' PK.
As you say, the engines were the let-down on the Whirlwind. It was, however a very successful ground attack type with the four grouped 20mm cannon being able to deliver a devastating punch- usually against locomotives and also E-boats. Pilots of the only three RAF squadrons that used it were generally pleased with it.
