I was just knocking around in the MA and took a bit of damage...

I ended up losing my rudder and both elevators.

I managed to egress to another field.

This probably the most fun I've had trying to get a bird down.

Sorting out approach speeds:

I struggled to get my flaps out and gear down due to the low speed deployment on the 190s:

On my first approach I nailed it... It wasn't even a rough landing:

Post your screenies of tough landings due to battle damage or whatever, here.

109 K4.... in the DGS scenario.

I took a radiator hit from a gaggle of P51s a long way out from a friendly field.

I just got it back to a friendly field.

Gear damaged, 1 wheel out.

Touch down just short of the field

Jusssst made it.

Nice job with the DGS landing.

Barely:) I was just hanging on there, didn't fall, landed successfully:)

I dont have any pictures but this happened: I was in a H2H room where and was rtb after taking a goon to a base from a cv. (h2h thing, and yes its possible) But, i fudge up the landing and come in to far near the tower and guns. I hit my right wing and collide into it. I lose both wings and my tail. I'm sliding near the edge, I end up stopping on the elevator with about half my plane leaning offtwo sides.

I have an old screenie of me trying to land on a CV during the Scenario "Okinawa" in 2004 where every landing was on my Prop!

I think I did this like 3 times. I don't do it often now, but I still have a frantic moment on occasion!

"Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing!"

This was probably the toughest landing I have ever made. It was a one shot deal as I was able to maintain just enough altitude to make it home with the few control surfaces I had remaining. During the longest 25 miles I have ever flown I tried everything to get more control out of the a/c. Shutting engines down, feathering props, deploying flaps (but that didn’t work cause I only had em on the left wing). Finally I came in sight of the field and was lucky enough to be set up perpendicular to the runway. I eyeballed it and released ever so slightly on the rudders, elevator and aileron…it banked hard to the right and slipped onto the runway perfectly. I know it doesnt look like much but that lanc did not want to stay airborne.

Landing this spit wasn't that hard but I was suprised when I saw just how much of the wing was missing.

here is a film of my friend and squad mate Cbizkit landing perfectly without elevators in a ki84.

shows some very skilled throttle work and aircraft control.

How does he land on water, and does he land successfully?

I haven't seen it yet, so I'm just assuming.... If you don't have the map they are flying on, all you see is water. I guess that's what the land tiles are built on.

It must be an older map that hasn't been up since you installed AHII.

Have you got the film of Solar (I think) landing the Lanc with both outer section of its wings missing?

not me steff, unfortunately. i think he has them hosted on his site though!

I've landed lanc's with no wings, b26's with no wings, and a 262 with no wings.

No screens though.. Just thought I'd toss this in.
