The new Pee40s. How bout fixing those flaps. Landing comes down before the flaps do.

I agree, it's disappointing as I was really looking forward to flying them. They're undoubtedly more difficult to be effective with now, especially in rolling scissor fights. If the flaps are modeled accurately though, then that is what I want in game.

find a resource that says something different than the manuals and you could get your wish. there is no reference to maneuvering flaps...welcome to the world of the 109.

speaking of the new p40s, which is the best dogfighter out of the 2? the N or the F?

Been trying them both out, Ive had more kills in the F and i like that it has no nose intake blocking the sights, but i love the N's ordance capabilities and cocpit.

My early (and brief) observations show the P40E to be the better dogfighter when the weights are similar.  The N is more capable (ordnance, low alt WEP speeds, etc), but the Merlin engine of the F model really shines, imo.  The higher you go the better the F gets over the N.

Be sure and check out the C model, other than the gun package it really is a force not to over look.  The E variant was nerfed a bit (and rightfully so, imo).

What are you worried about, 39th FS didn't fly P-40's.

Nothing wrong with the flaps at all.  It's stated in the P-40 flight manual not to deploy flaps above speeds of 140mph IAS.

Oh snap! Do I always have to follow that dang manual 

 

[Ruah]

wait, the 109 has flaps? oh yah, you mean those things that you use in some desperate move to get some lift (like setting you cannons out 650. . .cuz they go further right?) lol


we have 4 frames to find out who comes out on top!!

I was told once upon a time by a WWII naval aviator instructor that the first thing they did after reading the manual and memorizing some minor things was to throw them away.     I will even quote (as close as I recall) the late fellow: "We did things in those planes we were never supposed to do and we did them on a daily basis, we had to."
