"Spaltklappen" and "Spreizklappen" are two different types of flaps, not leading edge slats

Who cares and totally irrelevant to anything I posted. I know that and anyone who reads German knows it as well.
Neither of those polars is even in the discussion nor included in the values presented.

The slats don't open gradually

Baloney.
The slats open as required and the amount can be precisely controlled by the pilot. From open to close in the Bf-109 is ~2.5 degrees of angle of attack. A pilot can move through than little amount of angle so fast it would seem that they either open or closed. The reality is a pilot can control them and they will only open the amount required. If you knew how to read a polar, you would know that as the shape of the curve would depict it if the slats could only be fully open or fully closed. Simply put, there would be a shift in the polar and not a smooth transition.
Just how many hours do you have flying an aircraft equipped with slats? I can tell you,
you have NONE as you don't know how they work at all. You have never been up in an airplane equipped with them either. Stop presenting erroneous information as fact.
I have about 400 hours flying a plane equipped with slats that work just like the Bf-109's.
It is called a "stick" and it is there for the pilot to command the airplane. This is me piloting my airplane a few years ago.
