Yes maybe, but there is a difference between you thinking that you use them just fine, and actually being a good and effective pilot. With wheels it was impossible to land quickly for a fast drop or pick up, same annoyance to land on mountainous terrain, and what not. Not to mention the constant rolling on the pad.I was able to use them just fine.

With the old system, i could even "land" a blackhawk on the side slope of the big bunkers. Wasn't really realistic, but with the wheel system it is/was very risky to land anywhere with not even, flat ground.
On the other side, if we had fast ropes... xD

I saw many people as well as myself able to do quick landings with rolling wheels so I would call it far from impossible.nAyo wrote:With wheels it was impossible to land quickly for a fast drop or pick up, same annoyance to land on mountainous terrain, and what not.

I didnt find it that it was impossible to land. landing was easy, it was the part when you was moving a extra 10-15 meters after you landed that sucked bad.

Landing was okay yes, landing quickly was impossible though.

I managed it just fine... It was a lot easier with rolling wheels.
Also I now cant land the Osprey without it trying to flip. As soon as a wheel touches down it shakes everywhere. I have to jump out to save it
