The video also highlights how tough the landing gear was/is, not surprising as it was originally intended to operate from rough grass strips. Not like ingame where it loses it's gear and turns over if the wheels leave the runway! TD please take note.

It's important to note however, that what you see in Il-2 is not necessarily what the game is modeling. The green rectangular strip in Il-2 represents the mowed field that you see in the Bf-109 G-10 video. The areas outside of the airfield are bumpy and full of tall grasses that comprise a lot of the steppe.
Il-2 doesn't render landscape that precisely, but it does simulate the texture with bumpiness.
In fact, pilots were instructed to land
wheels up if they couldn't make it to the base in order to avoid flipping over and potentially crushing themselves.
TD have already addressed the situation and you can set "friction" values for the home base (within a certain radius).
