Slopes would also launch you into the air if they’re big enough, especially when going at that speed.
No wonder aircraft land with their landing gear first everywhere but in WT. Seems that we have godawful pilots that can’t land a plane.
I’d belly land less if Gaijin made aircraft brakes better.

If we had brakes that might be an option, but don’t blame the players for using the most effective way of doing something.

I don’t think anyone in this thread has got the OP to be honest…
I too have been having issues in belly landing, but it hasn’t come just in this patch.
Something on the runway always clips, and the plane is just going to be messed up.
this is actually realistic.
True, this game lacks some general aviation stuff. You can still easily slow yourself down by using Yaw Axis control and literally drift on the runway.
You ending up in flames isn’t that effective though.
Because somehow it wasn’t an option, and then they made it an option, and now it’s no longer an option, maybe the game could be consistent for once.

Please test it by yourself and don’t bring up some weird speculations.
There is nothing wrong with the runway as long as you are landing with gear.
Weird things happen if you have to make an emergency landing without gear.
Well now you know that landing with gear is good for your aircraft.
Correct.
Correct.
Yet painfully slow as I could stop and repair by the time it takes to stop with gear.

Well if there is a problem with belly landing then i guess i’ll never be able to land a plane again.
I can’t remember the last time i landed normally.
i forgot to mention something,
the P-59 not only refuses to lose speed with wheel brakes, but also just in the air. it does not slow down unless you do a 180 but once you try to lose altitude to land you gain it all back :sob:
It’s outrageous, this change wasn’t even announced
Furthermore, belly landings are a thing IRL, gently sliding along the tarmac shouldn’t cause you to spontaneously explode into a fireball
What if you have one or more gear shot away? Too bad, you will die I guess
Had multiple belly landings last night in Sim, including one rather rough landing where I actually ended up flipping upside down. Still repaired just fine. So either this doesnt affect SB at all. Or there is something else going on.
This was before the Update dropped, but recently I tried a belly landing with my F-14 IRIAF. I was at just shy of 400kph when I touched the runway and exploded in an Instant.
ive belly landed today, went well, but the new noices REALLY wakes you up.
You absolutely still can
Just maybe be a bit more gentle- you gotta kiss the ground, just a smooch, like you’re kissing your sister
Or land properly
You can still belly land, but not at ludicrous speeds as before.
I’ve belly landed with four different planes, all when touchdown speed was under 250 km/h.
