They introduced off-road effects to the runways and nothing else.
The issue was it initially was too strong meaning you couldn’t belly land at all, so naturally they went completely overboard with the fix
Landing with gear is faster if you’re undamaged. You can J out immediately when you stop and instantly respawn
tbh brakes are greatly underperforming in game on basically all jets (apart from the f104 for some reason) so the braking distances are insanely long
Belly landing when your plane is intact is just skill issue, get good
Go into the test drive, and practice how to do tactical landings with the gear down.
What if one part of the main gear is missing?

Cant say anything about the F-5, but the J35 seties is well known to not take the shock of a belly landing well in the slightest
If you’re going to do a belly landing too, im sure you know how to, but its also not really safe to do with aircraft that have round bottoms (like the F-16 or J35)
If that was the case the airframe would show black color or downright explode. It’s a game bug.
I know how to gear land. I used to do it before I went belly.
It’s a realism issue that the landing got so buggy because planes could belly land irl

Totally, I would not be able to stop without the parachute. Especially as in the Jaguar Gr.1 it is falling out of the air at 300kmh and needs a fast touch down.

This problem belongs to a lot of planes, especially Delta Wings. And it’s not the shock of the first touch down, it’s because they have a lot of AoA at low speeds, and even if you touch down smoothly, you also have to bring down the nose smoothly, otherwise you risk a pilot knock out.
Belly landing in the current state of the game is perfectly fine. There is only one bug: AF runway is a one way street. High speed belly landings from the other direction are not possible, you explode instantly.
I havent had any issue with belly landing lately. Though I only belly land if I physically cant land gear down due to damage anyway. The few times Ive done it were all successful, even missing half a wing.
literally some planes are just horrible to land for example anything without a drag chute which is quite a few top tiers now a days
The only aircraft ive ever had issue with is the Hunter F6. Which might need a brake buff based upon some primary docs (report) but otherwise ive not had issues.
we just gonna forget the F16
What about it, been a while, so just tested it, one of the easiest aircraft ive landed in a while, That thing has really good low speed handling, you can do a massive flare before touch down to bleed loads of speed
Ik that the J35A’s pilot hitbox clips thru the bottom, so that could be it (which is a bug) but idk abt on other drakens
