Was talking with a few people (not gonna name names) the other day about the P-38.
And we were saying that HTC doesn't really care about the P-38.


You were obviously talking to a bunch of whiners.  HTC are definitely not biased against the P-38 or any plane.  They are just biased against whiners.

Jab, the whole back of the wing moves on the 109, it's the 190 that uses the kind of flaps you're talking about.

or maybe I missunderstood you.

Tac, yes, it does make it unstable and stall very easy, just like the 190. However, it turns better (although hard to maintain in good turn).

But this is not just about using them in combat, they could be flown in speed up to 220, don't know if they blew up if you exeeded or if the just brake or something.

Yeah, I sort of was thinking about the 190 here.   Oops.  My mistake.

Rgr, the 190 flaps are somewhat usefull too actually, maybe they shouldn't be but it turns better with a anotch or two if you get slow enough. It's even more unstable though, snap stall really easy.

There needs to be more versions of the Fork-tailed devil... I agree.

however, if we need more representation, we need more of the Pacific War planes, both the allied and axis.  There are too few of them... and HTC is coming up with the Boston...
