Not very successful during WW2.

Great shots, thanks for sharing.

IIRC one of the biggest complaints were that it had not front facing guns and therefore easily attached front on

I believe you are right.

I wonder would would have happened if it were developed.  Add forward guns in the wings, there is room.  Upgrade 1080hp merlin engine to later 1400-1600hp versions...  It did serve good use as a night fighter though.
