Defiant modelled in COD is incorrect

Something that became blatantly obvious from opening the first few pages is the actual model depicted in the Battle Of Britain is quite different to the model we have within COD.

Basically the model we have in COD has a canopy that slopes downward towards the gun turret,at the time of the BOB this canopy was parallel against the gun turret,not sloping,making it look quite different,in appearance.

What we have in COD is a much later design Mk Defiant that certainly did'nt appear until after the BOB,whilst I'm not advocating that it be fixed immediatley it would be nice if it could be fixed sometime in the future.

Ok I know this is only a small feature that is incorrect and there are far more important imperfections that need to be addressed before this,but youd've thought that all those hours team Oleg spent studying these aircraft that they would have made sure the aircraft were correctly and historically modelled.

After all I've only studied this book for an hour,now how many years has this sim been in the making?

Ok there's some more useless infomation for ya

It is not incorrect it does not show the difference between the Defiant in takeoff and landing mode with turret parked and the slope behind the pilot up and locked. And the combat mode where the slope behind the cockpit was in a down position like shown in the game.


Have a nice game
