Emergency Landing Damage Model

[NakedSquirrel]

I was testing out the emergency procedures for failed hydraulics and was pleasantly surprised to see the "Rock it to Lock it" technique worked, but I found when attempting to land with no hydraulics, the tail of the aircraft will become damaged and explode because the tailwheel doesn't deploy. I have tried landing at different speeds and attitudes, but the tail always takes excessive damage and the plane explodes as a result.

 

I find that it is safer in game to land without any landing gear deployed than to try lowering the gear without hydraulics.
