ocean landings

[r4pt0r]

my return pod for most missions is a command module, science bay, 2 goo containers, assorted smaller science equipment, landing gear and 3 parachutes. CM is on top of the science bay. this has always been my design. however, in .23 i find that the ocean likes to break and delete my science bay, even coming in at 3/ms. i know thats fast still but in .22 ive had the same thing come in at +5/ms and all was intact.

did .23 increase water damage?

.23 might have changed the crash tolerance but why are you bothering to return the science bay anyway? Just EVA a kerbal over to the bay and right-click to collect the data, then you can store it in the command pod. Much safer.
