That second landing was near perfect, but drag chute pulled you off carrier. That was quite funny. LOL.
The slow approach works best for me since I have a problem with final flare on higher speeds. I had a flight instructor (in real life) toughed me to trim aircraft and fly final with just throttle (throttle controls pitch). I use same tactic here, I get airplane to equilibrium and control descent with throttle and trim. AFM is stunning!
I’m still in early flight training with basic flight and some weapon systems so I haven’t seen combat damage model yet. That sounds very nice. But pulling high Gs and getting wings broken sounds fishy, pilot would pass out before that can happen IMHO.
Challenge will be increased soon. It will test AFM to the fullest. ;)
