In old versions they didn't slide on the belly, the gear were down. They were parked. I can still do this with planes, you just drop them from low alt to bend the props. It;s not the same though.
Also, with one of the recent patches, damaged real planes on the ground bounce and blow themse;lves up.
For example, a few versions ago, you could have say 6 planes land at a base while the player was flying to the target. The landed planes would park, and stay there on the tarmac. When you strafed, you'd then have a mixture of static and "real" planes. Cool. You leave some static plane wrecks, and some leaking, smoking "real" planes. Far more immersive.
Now, if you do this, they stay and park, but hit any with a couple 30 cals even, and they start to rotate and or bounce. I hit a B-17 with a couple rounds from an oscar, and it bounced a little... after a minute it was bouncing such that flipped all the way on its back, lol. Never used to happen.
