Heavy Fighters of World War Two

The heavy fighters of WW2 were a unique set of aircraft ranging from the unique turret based design of the Defiant to the turbo charged power of the P-38.
Made as an unique concept in the interwar period, did the heavy fighters live up to their potential?

does the heavy fighter concept still exist today in some form? the F-16 and MiG-29 are much smaller than SU-27s and the F-15s no? thoughts on if that changes the roles or dynamics of the cragt enough to warrant being in a separate class?

[@AnotherBoringTopic]

That is a great question.
The F-16 was certainly sold as a “lighter” and certainly cheaper option than the F-15.
It is also true that the F-16 has one engine while the F-15 has two.
However most modem fighters have two engines which kind of blurs things a bit.
