you sure about that?

  You know I also found the Defiant somewhat intruiging, and occurred to me, how would one handle a fight with one of these? I mean with most of our dogfights degrading to turnfights on the deck, it'd be interesting....
  Maybe head on would be the only way to handle them....the same way I handle bombers.

+1 for that... long over due for a plane with onl defenssive armement

It is a "turret fighter" without any forward firing guns.

The Defiant wasn't equipped with bombs.

It would be an interesting addition

-1

It would be a useless waste of development resources.  It would be more of a hangar queen than anything already in the game.

Please research a bit more.  I'd suggest learning a bit about 264 Squadron RAF and the guys who were forced to take that death trap into combat and how fast some really brave men were wiped out.

The search button here would be a good thing too as folks keep throwing this one out there.

  I think you missed my point. The fact that it is a turret fighter whose guns were designed to fire aft, without any forward firign guns would mean it would have to be engaged from the front.

why do you psychos want a defiant? they were killed so bad they were withdrawn from service, not even my crazy self would flyem....
Please find a worthwhile a/c to post in here, and please and do your research before posting....

They served in the Battle of Britain. They were often a night-fighter. And was later used as a target tug.

One of the RAF squadrons that enjoyed a small measure of success in the Defiant used a downward Luftberry as their primary means of defense against fighters.

  For the same reason other psychos wanted the Buffalo, which likewise was withdrawn from U.S. service. Not everyone wants to only fly P-51D's, La-7's and Spit XVI's.
