The megawhacker doesn't land soft either. We have standard callouts for pitch to avoid hitting the butt on the pavement. In a couple years in the thing I have only seen it be an issue with a zero flap landing (the flaps actually broke too; wasn't just the computer freezing them); and with one over-zealous captain who rotated waaay too fast for any airplane.
