I rather think we still don't have any screenshot of a slow-flying 109 with extended slots.

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.

Wow! I was thinking these slats were just like those in an Airbus.

So it does not matter if they are in or out, they are free and independent the one from the other.

Rofl, u give messerchmit too much credit if u thought they were mechanically driven, it's my understanding that they are operated by speed/pressure.

They would need a massive camber/airfoil to have the space to fit a mechanical design found on Boeing or Airbus aircraft

Absolutely and asymmetric deployment of slats did occur and even in some cases caused fatalities.

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.
