The Defiant looked like a Hurricane from a distance, and when attacked from the rear the gunner had a good shot at the attacker.  However once the Germans realised what they were dealing with, it proved easy to shoot down - slow, not manoeuvrable, no forward firing guns, it suffered heavy losses and was withdrawn from day combat.  They did serve as ground controlled night fighters, but with the introduction of airborne radar they were replaced by types such as the Beaufighter.

Thanks for posting!
