I've had a couple of crashes when practicing with the new flight models offline where my looping 350 mph pull out intersected the ground at a somewhat flat angle. I had the center pod and inner wing/engine area of a p-38 slide half way across a field once. One tough bird

Bit too tough.

I was ditching a p47 and saw some bushed ahead. thought "great, these will slow me down soft and easy..." the jug broke to pieces upon hitting the bushes

must have been growing on rocks.

Would HT care to comment on the ditching model and help us understand how it currently works?

bad part is.....when you rip someones wing off and they end up on the ground in a wrecked plane you dont get credit for the kill

What's there to comment? The maximum survivable descent rate and ground speed have been set higher.
