The defiant was pulled out because it was a failure, otherwise they would have just made large aircraft with lots of turrets... So to get raped by 2 daffies on a sunday stroll is more than annoying.
10 seconds is quite a long time. I haven't flown against the Defiants but did you know that is a four gun rotating rear/upward facing turret which shredded the 109s before they learned to attack it from the front? (no front guns on the Defiant) It wasn't the one-gun limited traverse of the He111 etc.

It was pulled out once the 109s avoided the rear quarter and knocked them down from the forward quarter.
