• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Well put together bird! Thanks to all involved.

I played with her (MKI for now) for at least two or three hours at the first go. Very powerful rear machine guns. I read Seacondors thread about the rear turret being modified to a better type. Boy if its better than what it is now, those Luftwaffe boys are really in for a shock!

Surprisingly after taking serious hits, and even though the engine died on me on the first go (at around 25,000 feet or so) She glides remarkably well (If I'm wrong let me know) But I flew her in an unpowered glide after my assault and she did not disappoint. The rear gunner was kind enough to keep Jerry off my tail until we both bailed out. I got four Dorniers, and two Me-109's before she pushed up daisies.

Now I'm torn between my new Battle and this Defiant, whatever will I do?

Oh well, just have to expand my hanger then.
