Belly landings

Personaly, i think the belly landings and crash landings are crap in BoP. I think these need to be fixed ASAP. I quote from Anton

"As for belly landings - plane explodes if it is damaged heavy enough not to take off.
So it is not ruining gameplay. Why do you need it? It is flight sim, not crash sim..."

It does not matter if it is a flight sim or a crash sim. The fact is during BoB they needed more pilots not aircraft. If everytime a plane crashlanded in real life it blew up, even if it was a perfect crash landing, we might run out of pilots. I quote from Anton again,

"Your wing was broken.
You wouldn't be able to takeoff. It is not over-reactive. It is exactly what I am telling.

This explosions achieves two goals:
- adds more Holywood style action (especially if you one, who hit target, not the one who landed).
- gives more visual for MP - more time you see enemy explosion, not just landed."

I dont think it matters if its a big explosion (and dont get me wrong, i LOVE explosions.....but this is just stupid.). How would you like it if you were the one being shot at, and you are badly beat up, and you somehow pull off a awesome crashlanding only to find out that you blow up for no reason at all. Sure the guy that shot you down would be happy. But if you did pull off that crash landing (with a good Damage modeling system) that would be really awesome. As for the guy that was attempting to shoot you down, too bad, he should have made sure you were going down.

I would like to hear what you guys have to think about Anton's replies to this topic. I am sorry if this is a over disscused topic but i think his response to this is total BS.

Now i realize this is a extreme example, but how would you feel if you were the guy that got shot down right now?

It was lucky, i admit, and this prob wouldnt happen again if you tryed. It was a 1 in a million chance, but still, thats one more pilot that didnt get shot down.

Heres another video of the damage model with crashing in the Il-2 PC game:
