I thought it was common knowledge that it was going to be the Defiant? There was a big thread about it not that long ago.

Not that I recall...? But then again, I dont check in all of the forums so I could have very easily overlooked it.

Pyro,

Yeah. There was just some misaprehension about it being perked or not in that thread.

Obviously it will not be perked.

It will be interesting to see if any pilot/gunner combos will be as successful in AH as they were in '40 and '41.

Given how often people fly directly up the 6 of a B-17 or B-26 formation in AH I think the Defiant will be more successful than many are giving it credit for.

Could this possibly be the thread that is being mentioned? http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=125336&highlight=Boulton+Paul+Defiant

Now, since the Boulton Paul Turret has been/is being modelled, then that means it could open the door for all the other planes mentioned in this thread that had it.

I do have to agree with Karnak though, if someone can get a gunner, the Defiant would be a force to be reckoned with.

Initially I was not in agreement that Doug was being cruel.

Welp, if he is fishing, I guess you could mark me down as a "lunker".

maybe hes just making fun of you all?

Karnak · « **Reply #40 on:** August 06, 2004, 02:10:18 PM »

The only way Pyro will have caught me is if it is actually a Defiant. And that would be a very secure hook in that case.

I don't believe that anybody actually thinks Pyro is being serious.

Go look at the announcement!

Nobody said he was serious, you guys swallowed that one on your own. We said he was being cruel

Westy · « **Reply #43 on:** August 06, 2004, 02:51:56 PM »

oh my!

I imagine it would be used as a punishment plane. Instead of getting squelched or muted by moderators any foulmouthed mah_roons would have thier hangar choice limited to the Defiant! and if they are in the air already then the ride are in switches into one instantly too.

cool

I hope you really didn't believe him.
