I was able to use them just fine.

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.

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.

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
