From memory, A321 hits its tail at 9.7° with the oleo compressed - so it is easy to hit if you try to "grease it" or pull back to arrest a high rate of descent. Can be a problem if you fly both A320 and A321. Previous company SOP required PF to state a/c type on short final - just to remind yourself.
