Yeah. I can now speak from experience as I got GB a while ago. When you ditch in a field, you're more likely to survive a smooth belly landing than a wheels down. Because even if youtube videos don't show it, flipping onto your canopy IS lethal usually in GB, it's like the weight of the fuselage crushes the pilot. You can't exactly duck your head lower/brace or whatever ingame, so yeah. Canopy hits the ground, kinda means your head hits the ground.
these crashes are actually too gentle. When they touch the ground they'd collapse and tear, spilling fuel out everywhere. Crashes at speed leave a trail of aluminum pieces and fire.
By far the best crash physics of any combat flight sim. Can't wait to see the improvements we'll get in IL2 Korea 👀
thanks for putting the chapters
And nice crash clips!
I feel like a lot of these could've been survivable if the pilot hadn't put the landing gear down and made a soft belly landing

The P-47 took a 20mm HE round right into the engine, I'm surprised the engine held on for that long
Actually two I think, upper right & lower right.
