The logic and proof on this one is pretty strong.

All 109s?

Good luck.

Hey

When you're in combat and that adrenaline is pumping, yeah them flaps gonna DROP. :rofl
Nothing like in that video.

Everyone who doesn't fly 109's is gonna think everything a 109 does in AH is impossible, ok it's a game. :aok

And why pick on the 109?

Yes. There was 2 wheels to the left of the pilot. One for stab trim and the other for flaps.

Has to make you think how huge a difference there really is compared to the video & in game. For example you can tap a button on the game controler five times & your flaps are all the way out in only about five seconds, also being able to do throttle control all with just your left hand when in reality it is not possible.

The point of the video is to clearly show the number of partial turns, not the fastest time to turn to a useful setting.  

The notion that the rudder has too much authority is also unsupported speculation.

Does the game even model different actuation times for different planes?  For example the real Spitfire flaps drop in less than a second (operated by compressed air) yet take quite awhile to actuate in AH.

(Not that I care.  I've never found Spit flaps to be useful in AH combat, they are more just air brakes useful for landing.)

You would agree though that 5 clicks on a button would be a lot faster than hand cranking the flaps though the full range of motion though?

The K4 has already been released. I've killed 3 so far with the A-10's GAU 8.

The real issue is the actual time required to deploy a useful amount of flaps. I don't see that posted anywhere.

Do you think that 15 clicks on a button is more realism?
