With recent update landing without gear out is 50/50 roll either you land and repair or you bounce off the airfield runway and explode.
While I get that landing without gear is not realistc at all, planes without parachutes takes ages to stop even if you put it down near stall speed.
So is there anyway to pump up these brakes?
Please it is anoying that it takes so long to stop and rearm.

Landing without gear shouldn’t really be viable unless it is a last resort, so I’m fine with it not being available. That said, gaijin has had the brakes on ALL planes mega nerfed for years because (and this is literally all there is to it) they think bad players will flip themselves too often by overusing the STRONG brakes so instead they made it where you can basically brake hard in most planes but they did so by turning brake strength down by over 50%.

I get you can’t gradually apply pressure on a keyboard but these weak brakes are pretty absurd for being concerned about flipping aircraft with forward main gear.
breaks should get a buff
if people somehow manage to flip the plane then they just gotta learn not to do it
itd take like…2 landings max to figure out

Just make them like throtle scroll down to brake harder ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I wouldn’t oppose the stronger brakes, but I’d rather they fixed the physics back to where they were. It shouldn’t be this inconsistent. You can make the softest touchdown with no gear and the runway just makes your plane bounce and detonate. It makes landing a damaged plane incredibly difficult.

Can’t they make the instructor control brake strength to make sure you don’t tip over, just like how your pitch is limited to not enter a flat spin? It’s such a simple solution. Have it limit in a way that if you brake too hard you will still tip over, but without nerfing brake power for everything in the game.

I wouldn’t mind them making rough landings a lot harder even if they do fix that bug, you shouldn’t be able to slide in at 600kph into the airport.

They don’t even need to do that, you just tap the brakes if its a plane that can flip.
Does even brakes exist? I mean, you keep scrolling down appearing “BRK” on the screen but it doesn’t seems to actually brake the plane.
I usually jam the rudder left and right to slow down faster

That requires braincells, to figure out modulation.
Scrolling to activate the brake is very inefficient, if you are using mouse wheel to control braking, bind a separate key to throttle down
Definetly needs to be done. Landing things without a chute or reverse thrust takes WAY too long (something like a Hunter can take most of the run way to brake)

Just curious, what jets you can’t belly land ?
happens even with landing gear as I’ve found out didn’t even get into the air before it forced my gear to break and then caused me to explode

Its the same for every aircraft
I used to land properly in my jets and by the time my brakes stopped my plane, my ally who belly landed was already nearly finished repairing and ready to take off.
