109 slots

[Kubiszko]

Hello

I would like to know if I overlooked something, or Bf109 will not have slots?
If this is true, it means a big mistake

Thanks

Your suggestion is inconceivable in a state-of-art simulation like CoD. I rather think we still don't have any screenshot of a slow-flying 109 with extended slots.

Look at the shape of the leading edge of the wing, in the attached image. You can see a discontinuity in the pixels, I think that slot is clearly retracted.

Well, we have screenshots of 109's sitting on the airfield, with retracted slats.

I wondered about this aswell, but i'm convinced that they won't release CloD without slats on the 109 and 110, that would be very weird.

You've really got a point here. If this image from year 2005 is for real, the 109 has slats. The retracted position when sitting on the airfield can be a bug.

Please, we need a picture of an Emil with her highly addictive slats wide open!

Touché! No slats on ground. So, that was a bug in IL-2, I'm afraid.

They pushed the slats back in to prevent dust etc. from entering that gap. Who would push the slats in in CloD? I don't think there's a ground-crew around.

So still, most of the time in Clod (not in reality), the slats should be out when the plane is on the ground, atleast when it just landed. Of course in the screenshots we've seen so far, the planes are about to take-off.

But whatever, let's wait and see.

the screenshot I have not seen any extended slots,even in a band

Sorry to be picky but it should be slats not slots
