Landing in water 100-130 mph, lightly touching down resulted in crashes. Not a problem in AH II

It depends on the map. On most maps you can ditch, on at least one, possible two it's broken. It's a map bug that can't be fixed by getting even slower.
Someone mentioned the Buzzsaw map. Last night I put a deadstick Jug with no elevators gear up on the runway and survived.

On NDISLES I only had that problem in the Ta 152H but not in the three or four fighters I randomly tested. Then again, it only happened on Ndsisles, not on the two other terrains I tested.
So the no wheels on runway bug was/is a map bug limited to certain planes.

For the record, I couldn't ditch any plane at all on the sea in NDisles.

Looks like he found the bug according to the thread in the bugs forum.

A loaded FW190A8 stall at about 100 with any stick/rudder input.
Remember an loaded A8 is a pregnant hippo that use its ears as its wings  :old:

Gear down a is much better choice  if you have them intact.
Died a couple of times in gear-up landings in the 190-series of planes in AH3.

Here's a thought...put the gear down. If it's broken, get that speed at or below 100. I've had no issues dumping busted planes in on the runway.
My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.

Maybe htc is forcing more realism.

Gear up n runway no issues.  Anywhere else - dead.  YMMV

You guys could try landing with the gear down, I hear that works well.

Got any footage of planes exploding into nothingness?
Pretty sure that didn't happen too many times in R/L.

I understand Landing with gear down is preferred, but if heavy damaged or pilot wound it's not always that easy. AH2 was much easier to do land without landing gear. If AH3 is purposely making it more difficult, then I'll suck it up. I just was an answer if it's a bug, or something new to the game.

I haven't experienced the heavy bounce/explosion. I have noticed a lot more damaged props on landing however.
