*pppppppsssssshhhhhhhhh* Phew! That was a close..*BOOM!*

Yeah, this bothered me, too. I liked in IL-2 just flying around and landing anywhere there was enough room. It also made it more fun after a mission where you're all shot up, being able to lose the landing gear, have the propellor break off, and come sliding to a stop next to the runway, but still survive.

In a game where they seem to have made some compromises to make it easier since people will be crying how hard Sim mode is, it seems strange to actually make landing unrealistically more difficult. I was wondering if this was maybe put in to cover up damage modelling not being that accurate or something.
