Well, anytime you're landing on a wet runway with a tailwind, you're asking for trouble.
And that folks is the opinion of a simulator/microsoft pilot.

A pilot (be them a simulator/microsoft operator or newbie) is asking for trouble if they continue into conditions beyond their capabilities. That's why crews have the option to hold outside the airport area until conditions improve, provided their egos don't get in the way.
