I think that I read that video was made on "arcade" settings, which would explain why the Defiant gunner didn't shoot during the approach.

For myself, I don't ever plan to attack a Defiant unless it's head on or from below. Start my dive early - go a good bit under his tail at high speed, then come up under.S!

Watch out Gunny, that approach could be dangerous



Commando books eh, bless em.

All that picture needs is a 'Gott in Himmel' in a speech bubble appearing from that 109 cockpit and it would be complete

No need to show your belly to the world, In reality I could imagine rolling a heavy aircraft with a turret would be sluggish and full of peril! Just bank port or starboard which would achieve 2 things (1) evade enemy fire, (2) allow gunner full view to what's below. Trails done before the defiant was made operational, between a spit and defiant, found that the spit pilot had difficulty attacking the defiant without being within the deffys field of fire. Unfortunately german aces hadn't read this report! ..
