Are you saying the 163s refuse to be damaged even when crashlanding at high speeds?

I landed 1 out of 20. Not saying I didn't get a successful landing.
But each landing results in heavy damage.
And I remember to put skid down.

Well, true to history, 163's were prone to exploding as the landings would cause the dangerous fuels to mix or break and well that makes boomies.

I'm sure you can read up about how dangerous they were all around.

I'm experiencing the Me163 crashing on landing.  Skid deployed, landing at 100 knots.  I didn't have the problem in beta but only since 2.01.  All I can describe is a huge bang and sometimes wing damage, nose down, almost as if the skid didn't have any effect.
