components don't survive splashdown even with a soft landing


Recommended Posts

I've noticed an issue that components like science lab jr can't survive a chuted drop onto kerbin's water. This happens even with a impact less than 6m/s (a couple of chutes). it seems like it is destroyed by the chute being cut and settling into the water. It's annoying since i've taken all care to return the module, only to have it disappear just before the end of the mission. I've known about the fuel tanks having this issue for some time, and that's annoying too.
