Please F5 my memory. You mean the lack of pilot armor? Ju-88s has gone through some changes. New collision boxes is one of the changes.

JU88 is impossible to land on a belly into terrain - if you are are very skillfull you can do it on runway flat surface. You can ditch it into water but even then the speed must be <170km/h, otherwise you get killed. If there is something that can be done on this it would be nice.

I have heard rumours about missing pilot armor - if true pls fix it too.

Thanks !

"Impossible" is too strong word. Yes, it is more tricky than other bombers, but still it is pretty easy. The main thing is correct attitude of plane. If its nose is too low (or one of engines is too low), you will die on contact with ground. Basically, you need to make tail touch the ground first.

P.S: in anyway, Ju-88 seems too fragile for me too.

what do you mean with skillfull??
if you want a simulation it has to be hard to land... expecially if it is a belly landing!!

anyway is possible to land with the ju88 no flap without lg down...

Ok - it is possible but much more difficult compared to other bombers in game - why is it so?. And it doesn't help at all when you normally must do it without engine(s) and wing surface damaged.

Since you guys seem to know all about it can you tell me why it is the pilot who always dies ?
