Flaps give you the advantage to fly your aircraft at lower speed than the ones with the flaps raised. in combat this is very usefull. since you are flying slower the turns can be made more tight yo can use this to make the enemy behind you fly pass you by turning to the left then to the right or using a combo with a manuver called yoyo( high or low). you raise then and retract them at your comviniance. just remember that at low speed you will need more power that normal to keep your airplane flying in turns to avoid stalls. the stall speed in creases during turns( keep in mind that a stall occurs at a specific angle of attack not a a speed although a speed is always use when that aircraft does not have an angle of attack indicators). also use the flaps when attacking ground targets on the dive and raise them on the climb out.
