That said.. most of these WWII aircraft were designed to take off from rough bumpy and eneven strips.. that was the norm at the time, and pilots were trained to do exactly that.. I agree with the theory that the 'game' has this aspect completely wrong.
It's not a case of making it piss easy to land anywhere, but to make it feasible to land on rougher flat terrain..
Incidently, having just re-read 'Messerschmitt Roulette' for the third time, it gives more than one account of pilots landing aircraft that have run out of fuel, or lost, or even damaged aircraft. on rough ground miles away from any airstrip, for a perfectly good landing.. so a mod that enables us to do that would be welcomed.
