Did this happen with the new patch or have I just not had a chance to land in a long while. I usually just slide in like a bad out of hell because it is quicker than using gear as the breaks suck. It seems to take too long..... so Belly land!
Is it so the ditches are cut down or what?

Bring back 250mph Belly Landing!!

yes, they eliminated the hard belly landings. Use gear now

Belly landing is still quicker. Course if you land too hard, its a whole lot quicker.

I am pretty sure it's not tied to airspeed, but to climb/sink rate, too much and boom

I have not done a study of the actual rates that are survivable yet...

before they loosened it way up you blew up at above 150 or almost no matter what.. Just wondering what the danger point is now..
