NOT.
Bouncing did and does happen in real life, especially on carriers.

I have made perfect landings in this game, and I've made bouncy ones, but never have I disagreed with the outcome.


However, I have never hit the ground while flying low in the way you described.

The only time I've collided with the ground while flying low was due to the elevators being behind the fulcrum of the plane, pushing the tail downward instead of the nose upward. Exactly what should happen.
