The flaps have little effect.

Lift and drag effects on the flaps did not change, however they used to cause a strong pitch up moment.  That was incorrect and they should be causing a mild pitch down moment.

Combat Trim is on, it should neutralise that pitch change.

Like with the new Stuka and the 410 the new flaps pitch down ruins their respective turn radii.

Combat trim is not automatic trim and does not neutralize pitch changes from flaps.  Combat trim is just a table of trim presets to maintain trim at military power through various speeds.

Also turn performance is not affected, you're still generating max aoa.

In practise I have not found this to be the case in the MA with the Stuka or Hurri in comparision to previous versions of the aircrafts. :headscratch:
