Takeoff: this will help you take off faster and at a lower speed, without it youвЂ™ll go to the end of the runway before taking off. Flaps have to be retrieved right away or they will slow down the plane. Some planes donвЂ™t have this setting, I use the Landing setting when turning and it seems to help. Flaps enable planes to have different characteristics at different speeds.Д¬ombat: just a little bit of flaps, this will make your turn much tighter. the PBY with its big wing and ocean long runway). A monoplane without flaps will need a big wing and lots of runway to take off (e.g.

No Flaps: without flaps planes needed a lot of wing area to generate lift at a slow speed and take off from a reasonably short airstrip, this means bi-planes with two wings but two wings will generate more drag at high speed and that will prevent the plane from going fast. Landing: high amount of flaps to generate drag when landing.

Takeoff: medium amount of flaps to generate extra lift at takeoff.

Combat: small amount of flaps to help you turn.

Gladiator), others have basic flaps with only Landing setting while most have advanced flaps with these four settings: In War Thunder most bi-planes donвЂ™t have flaps (although some do, e.g. Hence the apparently contradictory use of flaps during both takeoff and landing. Flaps are devices on the wings of an airplane that have two distinctive results depending on the speed of the plane:ДЄs the plot shows at high speed the flaps will generate drag which will decrease the speed of the plane, but at low speeds the drag is minimal and the flaps will generate extra lift.
