IDK, looks pretty deadly to MW standards, and looks decent by LW standards....

I was not referring to its performance in any way. I just would not fly it myself, but would welcome it as a new opponent.

Yeah, not like hurricane with the 4 303 turret they called the "defiant". Didn't look very defiant. You almost had to have someone on your 6 to hit them.

The Defiant wasn't related to the Hurricane in any way though it does bear a superficial resemblance.   In fact, the first air-to-air combat of Defiants vs Bf109s was a slaughter.....of Bf109s as they mistook them for a Hurricane squadron caught unaware.  As soon as the Germans learned what it was, it was helpless.

Soviet pilots received more flight hours in training after 1943 then their counterparts. Post Kursk the loss ratio had shrunk down to 3 VVS losses for every 2 Luftwaffe as Soviet production started replacing obsolete types and training improved to superior levels.
