Hurricanes using landing flaps during combat

[baronWastelan]

Does a bf 110C-4 have any chance of following a Hurricane mkI , in a minimum radius (for the Hurri) turn, even if the Hurri has landing flaps up?

I'm no expert but I would say no. You will stall. Thats what the hurricanes are offcourse hoping for. Fixated adversaries

This German ace used flaps even in 109E and F to turn with Hurricanes

Well maybe possible after a few patches now since the flap wheel is so godforsaken slow :p

The different levels of English literacy certainly do make these sorts of discussions "interesting". Maybe in Russia the word "Landing" in "Landing Flaps" has a different meaning?

Don't know exactly what you are aiming for but the spitfire has landing flaps if i'm not mistaken just 2 settings up or down. the hurricane flaps could be used as combat flaps because they have more settings.

That's what I call a washout.
