rework of water

[popeter45]

i feel that water in ksp is very challenging to land on and acts completely unrealistic

could you have it that it only does damage if you hit if to fast so water based landing becomes more easier and pratical

not asking for complete realism just hate hitting water and it destroying my spacecraft

Water's problem is that it instantly destroys any part that hits it too fast, without making it explode or bounce at all.

As I recall, both water and land have the same "destroy things at this speed", but when you crash on land it causes the part to explode, which slows the craft down a fair bit (the explosion pushed everything else away) and may save the rest of the craft.

Land slower? It is possible to land on water you just have to be going slow enough.
