Time to Neuter the 109s

All of those accounts are obvious bologna, predator. 109s are over modeled. End of discussion.

The very reason why they will not be changed.

I think he was talking about the ergonomics of using the flaps.  It would be a bit more challenging if we had to roll a wheel or reach down beside our seat and move a lever to use the flaps instead of just tapping a button on our HOTAS system.

It looks like you need 10 quarter turns of the wheel for 2 notches of flaps which AH deploys in around 3.5 seconds. That seems right for a motivated young man.

You could never do it in combat, FLS. Not and live to tell about it.

Why not?  Once power is set that left hand isn't doing a lot, why couldn't you manipulate the flaps?  Like any muscle memory drill it becomes second nature with repetition.

You wish.

Obvious troll is being obvious.

Right, predator. No one knows anything about WWII except AH users. 

None of you have even done any research on the real airplane, or the cockpit, and especially the flaps, or you would know that the reason the flaps CANNOT be moved quickly is because there is a load purposely built into the wheel to prevent the flap "blowing-up" with the slightest airspeed. So, the speed is the speed. To fully lower the flaps on the 109 and then raise them again takes nearly a full minute. It CANNOT be dropped as fast as it can in AH.

Any argument to the contrary is done in complete ignorance.

How did you acquire this magical knowledge?

When to fighting 109s in Aces High suddenly become too difficult?  Seems like an awful lot of energy being expended on a cartoon airplane that isn't über unless in the hands of an experienced cartoon 109 pilot. 

Seems to me this is a disguised complaint by a cartoon pilot who isn't killing cartoon 109s as easily as he believes he should in his cartoon airplane of choice.
