Could we increade the difficulty of ditching a bit?

I kinda think HTC should increase the difficulty of ditching, right now you can ditch with a high sink rate/ high speed and live, which is kinda silly. That, or we need trees and rocks

Agree 100%.

Seems that some ground clutter is going to be introduced in friday's release (hehehe I'll win the bet  )...so maybe with 1.03
we'll see some realistic ditches

I'll go along with that, as long as it doesn't become as difficult to ditch as it was in Warbirds. A happy-medium between the two seems most appropriate to me.

 Shoot the bastidge till he blows! If you see em trying to land nail em with an extra burst.
 I learned that one from Ripsnort a little over a week ago and I even got to apply it to RAM once last week in return.  Cod bless you JG2

Last week, I hit the engine of a P-51 I was fighting and forced him to try to ditch. While surrounded by my hail of lead, the pilot managed to make a very nice ditch, complete with cartwheel.

WTG, you old Badger!

You smell that? Do you smell that?
Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
The smell, you know that gasoline smell, smelled like victory.

Hehe, if its an airframe, and has red text attached to it, I kill it!  However, I think that y'all should ALWAYS let me ditch cause I'm really a nice guy!  

I can't count the number  of times I've shed both wings at low alt  with a B26 only to survive a 200 mph belly ditch.  But I don't want to  see the pendulum swing completely in the other direction either, I can remember the first WB's 'ditch adjustment', whereas it become almost impossible to ditch after many expressed opinions of the ease of ditching, somewhere in between should do.

it needs to be harder... nothing is soft at 200mph... not even water.

Citabria is right, at 100 foot the surface tention of water is the same as concrete. After the surface tention is breached the dynamics change of course. Speed and angle etc. Anyway, HTC will Know how best to bring this into the game. (proably sooner than I able to deal with it) Hehe

  On Speedvision I saw a show where they 're-enacted' WW2 missions of 'young pilots'. This one was about a P47D pilot who was shot pretty bad by AAA. He managed to fly all the way back to his base using trim only (Roll and pitch) while flying at tree tops.

  He then belly landed on the runway at 300 MPH and survived. He said he wasn't really anxious because it was the second time he had to belly land at such a high speed.

  In AH, I would like to still be able to bump my belly at high speed on the ground, as long as my VSI is not too 'exagerated'.
