So is the French and German media…that doesn’t mean they’re going to attack. 🙂

They are attacking us, politically and economically speaking 🙂

but unfortunately it is actually quite useless for any aggressive action like shooting down the enemy if they decide to sit back and watch you gamely circling and using up fuel. At some stage you have to cut and run and then you are dead meat.

Not on home turf during 1940, when the enemy fighters were limited in time over the combat area.

As has been said before, had the Defiants been located in the North, the outcome may well have been significantly better.

In regards to the comments about a Navalised version, was the Defiant ever tested carrying any external ordinance?

What’s the point of advanced weapons if you are cant use them when needed for the fear of loosing few?

Road racer, please read the previous posts in the thread, everything you are stating has already been answered, often repeatedly :rolleyes:

Research events that never took place? 😀

Come back to reality! You are making assumptions based upon us conducting the war in the same manner as we would have done with the Americans. That is ridiculous, every change would have reactions that would affect events in ways that you nor I could really begin to comprehend.

Everything in this thread is conjecture, so don’t try telling me that there’s no way that we could have beaten the Germans. No point that you make is any more valid than mine.

If there’s anything that our history proves, it’s that the UK has a habit of getting out of tight spots!
