I think this would be a cool feature both when attacking an aircraft and also having been attacked making an emergency landing possible.

Cheers.
This is modelled in IL2 already, also take off gear damage can leave you with one or no gear as you get airborne, you can forget after returning to base from a long mission you have only one landing gear, it gets a bit messy

As for the "gun cam" gear dropping that's probably due to the pilot before bail out or extensive damage to the gear locking mechanism, not sure the damage modelling will go that far, would be nice if it did.
