What i'm more interested to know is if the AI will be able to use partial flaps in aircraft that only had retracted and full down positions (like it used to be in IL2). In the screenshot with the two Spits climbing after the 109 i think that the trailing one has full flaps, but on the screenshot you mention it seems as if it's using partial flaps which is not possible in the Spitfire. I can't be sure though without viewing it from a head-on angle.

I too am concerned by the shots of the Spits with flap extended in flight, I'm hoping it's not a carry over from IL2 and the flap on a slider "cheat" the AI/autopilot used to use, especially during take off.
