Damaged Gear on Every takeoff (track of it breaking included on second page)

Max main tire speed is 210kts, for the nosewheel it's 190kts. calculate your takeoff speed for your given weight and headwind component and rotate around 140-150kts depending on weight.

Here is a track of it breaking:

 

I take off normally, drop some bombs quick to simulate a mission and then land.

 

After rearm/refuel, the gear is broken after takeoff. This is how it always happens.

 

For this track, I kept it exactly how I normally fly. I have tried many different things like rotating more forcefully, pulling the power back after wheels up, lighter aircraft, more than 12 units of trim and none of that matters.

SOLVED 

 

It was breaking on landing, not takeoff. My bad habit was that I always dropped the gear in the break, and didnt wait until below 250 kts (I thought the gear would wait for a safe speed to lower automatically). 

 

I suspect ED changed the damage model and this bad habit of mine finally got me in the butt. I was focusing on overspeeding on the takeoff, I never thought about my landing. 

Thanks to everyone who helped out
