Defiant modelled in COD is incorrect

[Plt Off JRB Meaker]

I have been reading a book about the 'Boulton Paul Defiant',it's a very informative read and has a wealth of photos and colour plates within it.

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.This picture depicts what it should look like.

This picture shows us what we have modelled in COD,nice but not historically correct,shown using Shado's superb 264 Squadron skin.Boy this skin is fantastic,and would be further enhanced with a correct Defiant model.Please note the incorrect sloping canopy.

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
